Parental supervision taken to the next level
I have been watching a little bit of TV lately and noticed two commercials that both dealt with teenage supervision. One was a Volkswagen commercial, showing a dad in his Passat. I didn’t pay attention to the beginning of it, but I think he was picking up his daughter’s boyfriend at an airport. The two…

Why is there so much violence
Over the weekend I read about another airline flight attendant vs. passenger incident. Why would any sane person react that way. I mean, seems the flight attendant was right, but just like in the recent case of a man being violently pulled out of an over-booked United flight, how come flight attendants apply violence to…

The ethics of modern web ad-blocking
The best about web ad-blocking ever written. By Marco Arment: People often argue that running ad-blocking software is violating an implied contract between the reader and the publisher: the publisher offers the page content to the reader for free, in exchange for the reader seeing the publisher’s ads.

The Debacle of Google Glass
I truly enjoy when things turn out the way I predicted all the way. :) Worth the read anyway. Once again it turns out that geeks – which literally all of Google senior executives are – just can’t predict the general consumer reception of the latest toy they design. It’s just something else. Google has proven…

Bigger than bigger
Much has been written about the new iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. My own review could be summarized in just a very short statement. I love my new iPhone 6 Plus, for its beautiful display, the solid battery life, Touch ID (I was upgrading from an iPhone 5), the camera. One thing, however,…

Who owns Crimea?
If it wasn’t about my Grandmother, I’d probably not read much about the situation on Crimea at all. But more than before it becomes apparent how old she actually is. I don’t mean that in a negative way, just as it is. You can see how she’s been influenced by a traditional thinking, reaching back…
