Cute Advertising Guys
The ad guys behind this stupid DBD campaign are sulking - at least one of them is complaining in a round-robin email about the unwashed bloggers, the annoying journalists and the stupid colleagues. His mother taught him that one should thank people for gifts and he thinks DBD is a great gift. My mother taught me not to give people useless junk. And in the case of broad disagreement with my opinion, to consider whether maybe the rest of humanity might be right. My mother is smarter than his mother ...
And the next one leaves us
The next photo manufacturer leaves the industry: Konica Minolta gives up traditional camera and film business:
How much and which individual parts of the camera business go to Sony and at what price, the company did not announce in detail, in any case Sony is to continue the business with digital SLR cameras from Konica Minolta. According to Konica Minolta, Sony wants to develop further digital SLRs with which users of the Maxxum/Dynax lens system can continue to use the lenses.
Too bad. The digital Minoltas were actually a comeback - and the Dynax 7D was quite an interesting camera. But soon it will probably be a Sony 7D. Ok, Sony can certainly do photography, but still it's a shame about the name Minolta, somehow it belonged to photography for me (even if I myself was never a Minoltheke).
Wikipedia.de currently offline
The Wikipedia.de is currently shut down:
According to an article from Wikinews, which also belongs to Wikimedia, the reason is that the parents of the deceased computer hacker Tron from Berlin did not want the full name of their son to be published in a Wikipedia article, not just his pseudonym. However, this is still the case, even after the interim injunction.
As much as I understand that they do not want this - it is a bit late for that. Because the name is not only found on Wikipedia, it is scattered all over the net. Moreover - whether they like it or not - he is a person of contemporary history. After all, there is even a whole film about him.
The blocking of the entire German Wikipedia domain as ordered by the court is then already quite strange - because the German Wikipedia is just a redirect page.
In some way, this is once again another proof of why you cannot operate websites in Germany - here, almost fundamentally, cannons are used to shoot sparrows. However, the consequences of the whole action are not considered - because the fact that the redirect page is no longer allowed to be operated does not mean that the page is now offline. And the only result is that his civilian name becomes even more widely known.
All that is missing is that a block like Büssow is demanded for the entire Wikipedia. And enforced. Because we are in Germany.
