I wished I had a really large screen (like 3m by 1.5m) at a real high resolution to arrange and sort the footage. Now I came accros this exciting project … [Read more…]

All around watercoolers there’s one topic today: the Google PC! Already two days ago the LAtimes broke the story, which the Inquirer picked up today, as well as numerous sites worldwide. Obviously the idea itself does not seem to be surprising – a lot of readers overlooked the small line in the LAtimes article: Here … [Read more…]
