About the current state of the phone business

At the end of the day, if not for the iPhone, it's likely that the smartphone market wouldn't be in its current form, and many of these offerings wouldn't even exist. The iPhone has forced those on both sides of the equation -- the hardware side and software side -- to rethink what a smartphone should be. However, it's this very divide that separates hardware and software makers that will continue to serve as a barrier to matching the user experience provided by the iPhone. (from TUAW)

So true.

Saul Williams and Trent Reznor follow in the steps of Radiohead

Since Apple iTunes Store there was a shift making it's way towards the record industrie. This same shift has shown it's face more clearly than before with the release of Radiohead's InRainbow. Now Trent Reznor and Saul Williams at there contributions to the movement. Is this the end of the deep pocket record industry excecutives who pollute the airwaives and mtv with garbage?

With more artists dropping their labels and taking matter in their own hand, there is a new era making it's way which will make 2008 a very interesting year indeed

This is your chance to be part of something big, Saul Williams is offering his cd for Download. And like Radiohead; you get to choose the price. Now that artists are giving there music for free, it gets clearer that only good music and artists will make it afterall.

That's a plus for the music lovers

I was very excited about the new functions and looks of OS X Leopard, so I started looking around the web for a skin for my RK Launcher.

After a google search I landed on the Aqua-Soft website and found the Leopard skin for RocketDock.

Because the skin was not available for RK Launcher I decided to port the RocketDock skin from aximgeinus to RK Launcher

Download:
Leopard Skin for RK Launcher (92 KB)
To install just drop the folder "Leopard Shiny" in the folder named "themes" in de RK Laucher directory.

Govinda's Static Aparition

Today when I awoke I turned on my computer to start my day with music offcoarse. As soon as I launched last.fm and put in my tag and pressed play I knew this would be a nice day.

The first track that played was Govinda -Static Aparition. A track so smooth it makes you feel your walking on clouds. Since the sun is shining today (even though it's cold outside) I decided to make some time and post this track before I walk into the sun rays. Enjoy!

Global Orgasm Day

Today 22nd December 2006 is The Global Orgasm Day because Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell said so. So what and why is this good?
The idea has come from the idea that a positive human consciousness can affect the energy field of the earth and make the world a more peaceful place.
So they want everyone especially people in war zones to have sex and achieve an orgasm on a specific moment today. For more info on this event go to their website.

Fixing the Windows Media Player green screen problem

A couple of months ago I decided to take the new Windows Media Player v.11 for a spin. I was curious to see what new features it had. I started liking what I saw, atleast for Microsoft as being a copycat company it was oke.

After a while testing I soon noticed that Microsoft doesn't only copy style and function, but also the bugs. I started getting green screens and crashes while watching Windows Media Videos. It seemed like my old friend came back to bug my PC experience, so I decided to do a little research on the internet to find a cure for this bug. I soon found that it can be fixed by turning on the Overlays.

This can be done the following way:

In Window Media Player you go to >> tools>options>performance tab>advance>check "Use Overlays"

I also found a post by someone telling that he fixed it the other way around:

He did it like this >> tools>options>performance tab>advance>check "Use high Quality Mode"

I hope this will help you people who are also having this problem and gets you back to enjoying your PC.

Blogger Beta Looks Promising

I've been working a lot with Wordpress latley, so I decided to log into my blogger account to make some posts about the last couple of weeks. Funny is and found an invitation for the new Beta of Blogger. So I decided to check it out! :)

And with one quick glimpse at the interface and it's sections got me pretty excited about this project.
