Music From Star Trek Trailers
Maybe you’ve seen the latest Star Trek trailer. If you haven’t, you’ve missed one of the best trailers in a long time. I saw it several times and it gives me goosebumps every time I see it.
I blame the goosebumps on the music used in the latest trailer. After seeing the Star Trek Movie trailer [...]
Are Cracked iPhone Apps The End Of Jailbreaked iPhones?
23. February 2009
It was bound to happen sooner or later. A cracking program for iPhone apps has been released. It’s called “Crackulous”. I’m not mentioning it here because I want you to use it. On the contrary. This program can do more damage than good.
Crackulous removes copy protection (Apple calls it FairPlay) from iPhone app. There is [...]
Bush’s Robots.txt Vs. Obama’s Robots.txt
21. January 2009
If you run a blog or a website you probably know what a robots.txt file is, so you can skip the next line. It’s a small text file that tells search engine what to include and not to include in their indexing of your site.
As you might have noticed or read www.whitehouse.gov has been given [...]
The Internet Year 2020 – Do You Believe The Predictions?
18. December 2008
It’s always difficult to predict things, especially the future, and even more the future of the internet.

Windows Vista And Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Beta Available On Technet
4. December 2008
I’ve just downloaded Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Beta from TechNet Plus. I was a bit surprised to see Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 Beta in the same pack.
I didn’t even know there was a Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1?! Why yes there is. It’s already built into Windows Server 2008. Pretty clever [...]
YouTube – What Is That Ugly Search Bar Doing In The Videos?
4. December 2008
YouTube has silently just “updated” the embedded videos with a very ugly search bar. It’s there until you click play and will reappear for a few seconds every your cursor is near the top of the video.
If you pause a video it will also reappear.
I know I know, this will help YouTube (Google) get even [...]
My First “Post” On TechCrunch
2. December 2008
Earlier today I wrote an email to Duncan Riley at The Inquisitr explaining the story about Stein Bagger, IT Factory and how he is wanted by Interpol and the Danish police for fraud worth $130+ million.
Unfortunately I didn’t hear from Duncan and I guessed he wasn’t interested in the story, so I contacted Techcrunch explaining [...]
New Microsoft Ads Are Hilarious And Creates A Buzz
12. September 2008
Microsoft’s latest ads are hilarious! I admit they are a bit strange and really don’t have much of a story or message. It could remind you about a certain sitcom featuring a certain actor with a certain last name.
The $300 millon ad campaign features Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld as opposite to “Hi I’m Mac [...]

When I asked Leo Babauta from ZenHabits to Show Me Your Desktop, I didn’t know that I was about to set The Beta News record. With 4,298 views this is the most viewed page on The Beta News.
It’s only fair that I help Leo Babuta and friends to spread the word about their latest project [...]
