Cute. But I'm somehow not in the mood to do that for Münster. Looks like work. Doesn't one of the others here feel like it?

At Nochn Blogg. there's the original article.

Good to know!

"A kick to the buttocks of a subordinate employee is not part of a supervisor's occupational activities, even if it is done with the intention of promoting performance." LAG Düsseldorf, Az.: 12 (18) Sa 196/98 Note to self: do not kick employees.

It's hard to fight for a liar

Ok, I think things could get tough for Bush now. If CNN puts little children in the news who don't like Bush, then that could be the beginning of his downfall. I mean, what could be worse than little children who don't like Bush? Maybe there's a video where Bush kicks a dog?

Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: The Daily Report

A point that is often overlooked in discussions about the Mozilla Foundation as the new custodian of the Mozilla browser is its significance in the realm of commercial browsers. Netscape will probably definitely die, and AOL apparently has no more interest in it (according to Zeldman's source, they're even removing the logos). Mozilla will probably only exist as a free product from now on, and commercial Netscapes will likely disappear in the long run. So AOL is surrendering the territory without a fight to Microsoft and the open source variants of Mozilla.

I can't say I'm surprised by this - AOL never had real interest in Netscape anyway; it was just a means to an end, and with the latest agreement with Microsoft, that means has become superfluous. For AOL, it was never about browser freedom in the antitrust proceedings against Microsoft.

In the end, the user is left behind, because Internet Explorer with its lousy implementation can dominate the market a little bit more - unless Mozilla establishes itself on a broader scale, but that will probably now happen less through companies pushing it and more only through users themselves.

Here's the original article.

Kindermann: No one presents their visions anymore

It's a shame. Kindermann is at least one of the last manufacturers of good - and above all affordable - medium format projectors. It would really be a pity if this quite old company were to disappear. Let's hope that the restructuring works and Kindermann is preserved and there's still room for the old products.

Shooting Nekkid Women... for Fun

Ok, are there any dumber leisure activities than chasing naked women with paint guns? Update: It's a hoax. The original article is at lies.com.

Some continue to resist iTunes Music Store

We are Apple. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

Walrus lady ''Antje'' is dying

Oh no :( - I still remember well when she first appeared on our television and snorted and slobbered over the pool edge. What a shame.
