The rights organizations should award negative prizes to the worst-behaving companies and organizations, bundled at a well-publicizable awards event. This generates bad press on those companies, which in turn might do some good. I see some

YES! Deutsche Telekom needs a public shaming. They are the former state monopolist in Germany and use their large customer base als bargaining chip, refusing to peer at internet exchanges and so on. Needless to say that YouTube loading spee

I recently listened to a podcast in which they discussed that some Lightning-to-HDMI adapters sold by Apple had an ARM board inside which could actually run operating systems. If it is possible to patent something trivial just because it is

You are aware that Berlin isn't the biggest IT/software cluster in Germany? There are a lot more companies with a lot more revenue in the Rhein-Main-Neckar area[1](pdf, image page 3). It's just that the "sexy, webby&quot

NO. There are differences that have everyday consequences. It is illegal in Germany to share information gained by intelligence agencies with the regular police[1]. This is eroding, but we are fighting against it. State surveillance is spec

It might be that the gravity of the second sentence in your comment is lost on the non-Germans here, so let me fill in some more detail: The protests and controversy regarding the census led to a legal dispute that reached the constitutiona

On first glance, the whole thing looked very shady to me, since the web pages it generates look like this: BakingBrokers.com but it seems they are all non-registered domains, so it is indeed not a scam (and Baking is not quite Banking). Wou

That was the first thing I noticed. My random German drives a 1996 Buick Roadmaster which is about as likely as him riding around on a Unicorn.

However, given what we know about the current state of the things you list in your last paragraph, it would be incredibly naive to expect the Rule of Law to be upheld in the case of Snowden (and most likely also Assange). Also, I'm no

That is interesting. Most exit nodes that were tampered with are in Russia. I wonder why that is so. I expected that it would more or less mirror the geographical distribution of exit nodes.

I must admit that I'm not blogging myself at the moment, so I haven't really thought about these things before now. My assumption is that a non-technical person would go with some key-in-hand automatically configured solution. So

Here's a question, though: Is it obvious for non-technical people that their links must be nofollow links? Maybe I am naive, but I'd imagine that there might still be non-techies out there who would like to be heared (not talking

As a side note, can you imagine what things would be like if the US didn't have a minimum wage? Here in Germany we don't have one and there are people working for wages as low as 3€ per hour[1]. That is 4.07$. [1] http:/&#x2

You should definitely differentiate between Linux distros and companies that make their money with a distro. Because unlike RedHat and Ubuntu, practically all the other Linux distros out there have little cash and little manpower to spare.

You have put your finger right on it. Inequality is emergent in a functional economy. So if equal opportunity for everybody is desired, redistributive mechanisms are needed.

Seriously. That is an interesting application of bitcoin. Does that work with Bitcoin, or would it be neccessary to construct another "Coin" specifically for that purpose? I'm highly sceptical of Bitcoin as currency, since th

Initially, I also wondered how many people have the noise problem. So far, the only way I managed to maneuver myself into that situation in Firefox is by having a few hundred tabs open (enough to make FF become sluggish and unresponsive) an

Here is an important point for the non-Germans, so that you can understand why this was even asked for: Unlike the German rabble, its political leaders (with very rare exceptions) are personally invested in the "trans-atlantic partners

What surprises me is that they didn't realize that SimCity doesn't have the right game mechanics for classic DLC. Instead of going the DLC route, they should have gone the user-gernerated content route. Allowing users to not only

I live in Germany, where the old people all like to critizise everything and the young people are as enthusiastic about apps as any American. Bimodal rating distributions everywhere. Help!

Here in Germany, the entire television system is somewhat different from the US. Most people do not have what we call "pay TV", but consume only free-TV and DVDs/Blurays. There is no usable streaming service (usable in the se

To me they seemed more annoyed that the camera vehicle was coming through. I couldn't help but think that more than one of the turned heads mentally cursed the cameraman. Spooky to think that, of some of them, this one annoyed look is

Relax. You don't have to stress yourself out about these things, since you soon won't have much of a choice anyway. The day will come when you can't get car insurance without active tracking. It is just too tempting for insur
