Watch the video below to get some serious thought inspiration. Before you do so you might need to know that at the moment there are <a href="http://www.wired.com/2015/12/bitcoins-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-this-unknown-australian-genius" target="_blank">rumors forming</a>, that Craig Wright might be Satoshi Nakamoto.<br />
<br />
Dear kids,<br />
Next level entity? At some point please read about Wintermute and other artificial intelligence. My believe is that intellect, science and honesty are key to eternal being(s). In a few centuries we will plant our spirits into something detached from the bio mass known as human body.<br />
Avoid pessimists and mandatory religion everywhere - live to the fullest while being on the path.<br />
<br />
My only commodities are the pure gold I'm wearing and the things stored in my brain and heart. All and everything is shared with you, my loved ones, every moment and everyday of my current life. Do not separate men and nature, think of humankind as the current highest form of nature on the planet we call earth. <br />
While good beer & scents & multiplying activities are also important topics haha.<br />

Well you know about my childhood dream, the 911, the only car with truly nice eyes, hips and a derrière to die for ;-) <br />

Boy oh boy it was such a pain to do all the necessary Macan research! Once we'll placed the order I'll share everything I learned over the last few months here: <a href="http://macan-colors-and-options.blogspot.com/">macan-colors-and-options.blogspot.com</a><br />

<b><br />The good:</b><br />
+ great <b>Camera</b><br />
+ great <b>build quality</b>, waterproof <br />
+ great overall product design<br />
+ <b>"It's a Sony"</b> > everything just works, I was very happy with all my previous Xperia phones. <br />
+ <b>great screen</b> > 5.2" 1920x1080, beware it's not the brightest one<br />
+ stereo speakers <br />
+ excellent <b>battery stamina</b> reported by many users<br />
+ has <b>FM radio</b>, which I use everyday<br />
+ good language support, comes with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-11">ISO 8859-11</a> <b>thai font</b> (see <a href="http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/whitepapers/sony-xperia-z2-white-paper/">white paper</a> p.13)<b> </b>to many this is way more important than the cpu, Samsung removes some languages and fonts in distant markets, rendering the phone annoyingly unusable for Thais)<br />
+ built in hardware is top notch (same as the other flagship phones)<br />
+ <b>Noise canceling</b> feature indeed works, but makes headphones a tad bit heavier<br />
+ good <b>value for money, </b><a href="https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/sony-xperia-z2-16gb-schwarz-mobiltelefon-2475113">CHF 699</a> (599 in Aug.14) or <a href="http://www.heise.de/preisvergleich/sony-xperia-z2-schwarz-a1075595.html">€582</a> launch price<b><br /></b><br />
+ good the Android UI hasn't been revamped to the max<br />
+ fancy notification light<br />
+ you can set the display's white balance!<br />
+ the smart band receives <a href="http://youtu.be/uj7lUNqhGog">good critics</a> and might be interesting to you <br />

<br />
<br />
<b>the bad:</b><br />
- <strike>Speakers are very very clear when listening to audio, but during calls, the speaker u hold to your ear will "chatter" a bit, so phone conversations won't be very clear! confirmed with a 2nd device. <b>This is the phones biggest minus!</b></strike><b> </b>Forget about this, speaker sound during calls turned perfectly cristal clear after two weeks! No idea, what happened.<strike><br /></strike><br />
- the noise cancelling head phones do not have a remote button to pick and end phone calls! Very annoying on the bike. Noise canceling does work, but not on the bike, doubles the wind sound :-( doh<br />
- no IR to directly control your home media<br />
- some folks don't like the touch feeling, when fingers meet the loading dock contacts<br />
- touch feeling at device edges not super smooth due to overlapping frame, to protect the glass. Can't be further described, go and touch the thing in the shop.<br />

<br />
<br />
Reginaldo Silva nicely explains how he discovered a potential remote code execution bug on Facebook servers. Unbelievable! <br />
Very well written: <a href="http://www.ubercomp.com/posts/2014-01-16_facebook_remote_code_execution">http://www.ubercomp.com/posts/2014-01-16_facebook_remote_code_execution</a><br />

Two hours ago Facebook's security team released <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BugBounty/posts/778897822124446?_fb_noscript=1">their side of the story</a> - not less amazing. They awarded Reginaldo the biggest bug bounty payout since the program exists. You all know I quite dislike Facebook, but they responded so fast, it's hard to believe! two thumbs up.rigelthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02890871150573706058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16587254.post-25971712228583584782013-11-19T00:44:00.000+01:002013-11-19T00:44:05.742+01:00Best pictureCheck out the story behind one of the best pictures I've ever seen:

Your best gaming mouse is also your best Photoshop mouse.<br />
<br />
That is because gaming mice come with many fully configurable buttons and feature an ergonomic form for long sessions, they are precise and have durable build quality.<br />
<br />
<b>Remember:</b> good mice and good keyboard boost your productivity more than a faster CPU does. So don't be obsessed on saving money when it comes to the mouse!<br />
When working through series of pictures the right commands on the mouse can easily save you many hours of time!<br />
<br />
<br />
Currently my favorite mouse for work is the <b><a href="http://rigelt.blogspot.ch/2010/08/logitech-g700-mouse-announced.html">Logitech G700</a></b>. It's fully customizable and all buttons are placed where I like 'em.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>The general approach to assign the mouse with actions:</b><br />
<br />
- understand that this topic is highly individual <br />
- observe <u>your own</u> Photoshop usage closely<br />
- take notes of the actions you perform the most in <u>your</u> workflow<br />
<br />
- decide which actions you want to access with a mouse click<br />
- look up the corresponding keyboard shortcuts <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSD578BD7D-07BC-46f6-AAC2-6E491E8AD818a.html">here</a> or just <a href="https://www.google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&q=photoshop+keyboard+shortcuts+for+multiple+undo&oq=photoshop+keyboard+shortcuts+for+multiple+undo&gs_l=serp.3...61962.64357.0.64677.8.8.0.0.0.1.152.919.1j7.8.0....0...1c.1.26.serp..8.0.0.lk6LTDzCQd8">google them</a><br />
- configure your mouse , sometimes it's possible to form groups of actions (ie always the same 3 actions for picture tweaking form a cluster, place them on button G8 > G9 > G10)<br />
- create a cheat sheet because things might be hard to memorize in the beginning<br />
<br />
> get <a href="https://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&newwindow=0&suggon=0&safe=off&q=photoshop+best+shortcuts&btnG=Search">inspiration from the net</a>! to tune up your workflows<br />
<br />
<br />
Other tools which might make your Photoshop life easier are:<br />
- a <a href="https://youtu.be/3TZm6SaoZuc" target="_blank">Surface Pro</a> as an affordable alternative to the very expensive <a href="https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&hl=en&biw=1356&bih=1023&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=wacom+cintiq&oq=wacom+cintiq&gs_l=img.3..0l10.13471.14699.0.14974.6.2.0.4.4.0.118.221.0j2.2.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.6.246.v_SLJKArF_w" target="_blank">Wacom Cintiq</a> <br />
- a must: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=wacom+tablet&num=100&safe=off&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=tPYkUridG4SUhQfCpoHgDw&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ">wacom tablet</a> ($100+) for retouching and painting<br />
- <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=photoshop+keyboard+stickers&num=100&safe=off&tbm=isch">keyboard stickers</a> for professionals (not for me, because I use around 15 shortcuts only)<br />
- a gaming keyboard where you can assign more functions to shortcut keys (not for me either because they look childishly ugly most of the time)<br />
- your tablet > <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2011/04/when-vision-turns-into-reality-%E2%80%93-photoshop-cs5-interaction-with-tablet-devices%E2%80%A6.html">see this older video</a>. I don't have any experience with this<br />

To me the <a href="http://rigelt.blogspot.ch/2010/08/logitech-g700-mouse-announced.html" target="_blank">G700</a> and the <a href="http://rigelt.blogspot.ch/2009/08/logitech-performance-mouse-mx.html" target="_blank">Performance MX</a> are close to perfect productivity boosters. The buttons are at the right place, the scroll wheel is phenomenal, the G700 driver an absolute charm.<br />
Therefor I was rather excited to read about the new Logitech G602 mouse! Unfortunately the more I learn, the less happy I feel about the new product. First some pictures, then I'll explain.<br />

<b>My thoughts are:</b><br />
<br />
+ many buttons<br />
+ driver will allow full customization of all buttons<br />
+ looks good and seems to feel ergonomic<br />
+ many buttons<br />
+ works with just one battery (to reduce weight) <br />
<br />
+/- main feature long battery life - but has no meaning to me.<br />
+/- I learned to be perfectly happy with G700s 1 day battery life<br />
<br />
- four side thumb buttons are enough<br />
- the mouse wheel is not tiltable<br />
- no mouse wheel free spin <br />
- for advertised capacity of 10 days high weight because of 2 batteries<br />
- buttons G10 & G11 implementation inferior to G700 <br />
- meaningless laser and <a href="http://rigelt.blogspot.ch/2010/03/logitech-mouse-click-not-working.html">microswitch</a> specs, because all competitors have it too<br />
- Logitech please do some microswitch sealing instead <br />
- nothing spectacular, nothing outstanding about it<br />
<br />
<br />

Some of you might like 20 thumb buttons - it's a highly individual thing. I mainly use two or three profiles on my mice, one for work, one for gaming and a special Photoshop profile. It's a challenge to remember all the button assignments if you don't use them everyday. Only good I see in many thumb buttons are the options for "push to talk"and the like.<br />
If the <a href="http://rigelt.blogspot.ch/2010/08/logitech-g700-mouse-announced.html">G700</a> wouldn't exist then the G602 might be a good option. Well I have to see, what my kids have say about it.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> from sony tweet on 23/08/13</span></div>
<br />
Wife's Xperia Z is a charm - while the missing sharpness in the taken pictures and missing camera button are downers, everything else, including the display, is close to perfect.<br />
My excellent Xperia S slowly comes to an end because I let it drop just a few to many times.<br />
<br />
I'm most likely to get the Xperia Z1, aka Honami, once it's out later this year. Today <a href="http://blog.gadgethelpline.com/exclusive-pictures-sony-honami-c6906-reveal-sonys-android-flagship/" target="_blank">gadgethelpline</a> released pictures of what seems to be the phone's final look.<br />
Very pleasing, just like the Xperia Z Ultra but including a flash.<br />

<b>Specs</b> are all fine. Up to date hardware, nothing to worry about.<br />
I just hate the fact, that they didn't include a xenon flash. The reason seems to be, that <a href="http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr3-honami-smartphone-uses-a-magnetic-mount-for-nex-lenses-and-a-curious-lens/" target="_blank">Sony might be developing a camera module</a> (which won't be bought by anyone).<br />
<br />
<br />
5" 1080p (full HD) display with Triluminos. Reading good things about it only.<br />
very good: uncommonly huge camera sensor <a href="http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sony-Honami-cameraphone-detailed-further-glassmetal-body-larger-sensor-than-the-Nokia-N8_id42519">1/1.6 inch</a> (or 1/2.3 inch) for less graininess<br />
<br />
20MP cam, LED flash, (5248 x 3936)<br />
2MP front facing cam (who cares)<br />
Snapdragon 800, <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/7082/snapdragon-800-msm8974-performance-preview-qualcomm-mobile-development-tablet" target="_blank">MSM8974</a> chipset (2.2 GHz, quad core, Adreno 330 GPU)<br />
16GB internal memory<br />
microSD card slot <br />
3000mAH battery<br />
144 x 73.9 x 8.3 mm<br />
LTE (FDD 1, <u>2</u>, 3, <u>4</u>, <u>5</u>, <u>7</u>, 8, 20 - underlinded are the ones active in the USA)<br />
NFC, MHL, fm-radio<br />no IR!<br />

Dear friends</div>
<div>
Once again I’ve got struck by youtube.<br />

Being downright pinned as the last stupid retard these days, paired with
the request to be a cold f/<k? Gloomy - grim. I was in for a good chillout
session, implicitly mingled with great tasting beer.<br />

Of course I set off with a classic: <a href="http://youtu.be/fK9PIoWfOu4?hd=1" title="http://youtu.be/fK9PIoWfOu4?hd=1">http://youtu.be/fK9PIoWfOu4?hd=1</a></div>

Eventually the search for chillout led me to tonight's epic pearl - 3hours long - <b>quiet & positive</b>: </div>
