Michael Jackson

argh - got to know about his death, the moment the news was released in the net. Hey am I the only one around here who thinks ... Michael Jackson (1958 - 2009) was a good looking guy?! Of course I'm not talking about the recent pictures, but who cares.
Oh man - all the crap that was spread about him day and night. Others take painkillers too. How about you, did you know he was suffering Vitiligo? [all vids youtube]



I'll remember you like this - and this - and this - and weirdo-this
your music filled my teen years, thank you. RIP

internet media

Friends often don't seem to realize, why being a consumer of  "the internet" isn't anything bad. Media published in the internet is often much closer to reality - more authentic than your local newspaper or local tv station could ever be. It took me many years to fully understand and give into this fact.

digg.com is a complicate place - and hey it's everything else than free of special interest groups. The same goes for wikipedia.org and their forks, but when it comes to freedom of speech etc. they are lightyears beyond the currently established classic publications.

Here's a good example of media - coming to you through and because of the internet:
Digg Dialogg with Richard Branson [22 Min, original digg URL not working anymore - 06 Aug 2014]

"I'm a great believer in life, in saying yes and not saying no"

"I'm a great believer in working hard"

"you don't have the same color scheme during the whole flight"

"sadly - the death of record labels is pretty much upon us"

"time is being done, record labels are almost a thing from the past"

"because the money goes to the bands, it's not necessarily a bad thing if record companies disapear"

"elders using moral authoritiy to go and address conflicts"

eingelegte Gehirne

Wieder einmal ein Interview, das etwas aus der Reihe tanzt.

Holsboer: Viele Patienten akzeptieren es dankbar, wenn ich sage: Sie haben eine Stoffwechselstörung, die sich auf Ihr Befinden und Verhalten auswirkt, und die korrigieren wir jetzt. Ich werbe dafür, Depression als organische Krankheit zu sehen und nicht als etwas, wofür man sich schämen müsste. Am Magengeschwür war früher die Schwiegermutter schuld oder die Kindheit. Dann fand man heraus, es ist ein Bakterium. Das war ein schlechter Tag für die Psychoanalyse! Ich bleibe dabei: Das subjektive Erleben ist nicht grundsätzlich etwas anderes als Rheuma oder Diabetes.

PC Preise April 2009

Habe die Preise in der rechten Spalte aktualisiert. Kurz zusammengefasst:

Neue Grafikkarte ist drin - Nvidia GTX275. Nach allem was ich gelesen habe, ist ATI kein Thema mehr > zu hoher Stromverbrauch im Desktop-Betrieb, lauter Default-Lüfter während 3D-Betrieb. Der Fokus liegt wie immer auf "guter Preis für viel Leistung" - um Geld zu sparen kann man natürlich zu günstigeren Karten greifen: GTX260 oder GTX260^2 [digitec]

RAM ist knapp bemessen, da Vista 64bit de facto aber praktisch keine Vorteile bietet, spielt es im Moment keine grosse Rolle. Es kommt halt auf deine Hauptapplikation drauf an.
Core i5 [techpowerup] und Windows7 kommen in der zweiten Jahreshälfte. Du bist ein early adopter... dann warte doch noch vier fünf Monate. Core i7 ist nach wie vor nur ein Thema für reiche Säcke.
