(English) Technology doesn’t stand still!
I’m going to dedicate an entire section on my site about my encounters with technology. The good and the bad sides. I’ll discuss these throughout with my wits and perspective.
In some parts I’d already be dreaming of gadgets which are still not available on this planet. The current age has created us toys which can be as small as a phone, to the size of a cricket.
Still, I am amazed what this world spawns. From armored card machines to automatic vacuum cleaners. Still, with an expense. The software is often out-to-date, slow, not userfriendly or even insecure to use while sitting in that nice armored behemot.

(English) Beastie Boys crippled my PC!
My soulmate wanted to rip the CD to put on his Archos Jukebox, since he is not using CD’s anymore but still buys them to be legal and to have the full version.
Since I have put in the CD I can’t run my company invoice system anymore, can’t do anything at all with that cdrom drive, can’t even play a game. Every time I put in the CD it cannot be recognized by my system.
(English) BMG decides to make copyprotected CD’s only!
Bertelsmann (BMG Music) will stop to sell uncrippled CD’s. This means such cd’s will not play at certain older & newer CD players, certain car players and will not play in your computer. This for the price of 20US$ to 22US$ per CD !
