Wie auch immer es passiert ist, es ist passiert. tensalomi sind raus aus der Provinz die omaha heißt. Wie es scheint dulden die Bewohner von omaha keine Fremden - sie wollen lieber unter sich sein. tensalomi fühlte sich immer sehr wohl inmitten der gebotenen Vielfalt, die jetzt, nachdem der Nachwuchs die Zügel in die [...]

„Stillstand ist der Tod“, so soll es in einem alten Westernschlager des Niederländers Pierre Kartner heißen. Lange hat VANDES seine Pferde in der geräumigen Omaha-Scheune untergestellt. Jetzt heißt es aufsatteln und weiter Richtung Westen ziehen. Und gerne denkt VANDES dabei an die tollen Omaha-Familienabende mit Lagerfeuer und Gitarre zurück. Also: Haltet eure Lassos knotenfrei [...]

Wie alle, die häufiger bei Omaha vorbeischauen, sicher gemerkt haben, ist es in letzter Zeit sehr ruhig geworden. Und das, obwohl wir uns mitten im Jahr des Gisbert befinden und in Punkto Interesse und Anfrage so viel los ist wie nie. Das passt einfach nicht zusammen, und Gisbert und ich als Omaha-Verantwortliche haben daraus [...]

Unser Jonas von ckjm war beim Haldern Pop Festival und ich bat ihn, mal ein paar Eindrücke zu schildern. Er ist das ganze chronologisch angegangen Donnerstag war das Wetter erstmal OK, bis auf 5 Minuten Weltuntergang vor den Foals auf der Hauptbühne. Im Zelt sollten eigentlich die tollen Noah & The Whale eröffnen. [...]

What? A "Microsoft Lab" didnt now that...

Microsoft Speed Launch is a prototype application available at Microsoft Labs, the repository that contains applications created by Microsoft employees. Speed Launch is an applications launcher that can also launch websites and every other type of file. It is more or less a file launcher and the thing that makes it interesting is that it is an official Microsoft product and not a third party app.

There is one thing of concern during installation. Speed Launch can only be installed if you accept that usage metrics will be send over to Microsoft. I suppose one could simply prevent the communication with the server if he does not like to transfer the data. As always, there is no real information what data gets transferred, only the assurance that it will not be used to identify the user.

Well, if you still want to give it a try you notice a bulls eye in the lower right corner of the screen after installation. That’s the area where you drop files and websites on to create shortcuts.

The shortcut Windows C opens the main program interface that you see above. You type in the first few letters of the file, application or website that you want to use and hit enter. Depending on the choice the file is instantly launched or additional input is requested (for example when picking Wikipedia).

Internet pages are opened in the default browser which is very surprising but also welcome for a Microsoft application. Microsoft Speed Launch could be described as a basic version of Launchy. The only advantage is that it comes directly from Microsoft which will surely appeal to many users who are cautious about third party applications.

Bloglines becomes the first RSS reader I am aware of with ads.

Beta Blogliners,

We launched a new skin for Beta.bloglines.com. The revised skin comes after much review by Blogliners (Bloglinites?) who have been keeping us posted on their likes and dislikes of the redesign. Here’s a quick peek:

We’ve also launched display advertising in search results and an ad unit on the Classic Start Page. We’re in the process of developing monetization methods ($$) which work within a feed reader. We look forward to listening to Blogliners and working with 3rd parties to develop the next generation blog and feed networks. You’ll see more of the redesign soon.

Enjoy!

Eric Engleman and the Bloglines Team

Don't believe it - an announcement of an actual RELEASE or announcement of a COMING SOON?

Today I received an email with an attached PDF document. I don’t know whether I can believe in this content but it says that we’ll see two new Nseries devices coming out on Monday ,August 18th. If this is true we can expect the long rumored N85 and the N79. This really sounds realistic but let’s wait until Monday.
