I finally ended up buying an iPhone (but I still also use my HTC Touch Diamond) and so far I am very happy with my purchase. But as with any Apple product you have to accept that their products are limited – what they do, they do fantastically well! But there are always things that you end up missing…

We always get the TV-shows later than in the U.S… But why wait when Hulu.com exists? Well, they blocked the access from outside the U.S… But the solution is near and free: Hotspot Shield – a free simple proxy solution that goes to the U.S. Found via this Lifehacker post. We’ve been using it for a while and it works great, both on Mac and Windows, even for streaming video.

Bonus: YouTube’s “This video is not available in your country” can be circumvented when needed.

Bonus #2: Additional Office clips are available.

Update: I don’t know how legal this is, so use at your own risk…

Two predictions from my 2009 predictions post were just posted on Technologizer – my suggestion about a TV from Apple and my pessimistic prediction regarding Chrome’s market share… Nice!

One of my predictions on Technologizer

Update: The prediction about the Apple TV was revisited on Technologizer.. Luckily the prediction didn’t come through, as I have bought another TV!

WOW… Just wrote to Sony Denmark about this one – that looks like something that would look great on my lap..

As the new year is approaching, I thought I would join in the trend of predictions for the upcoming year. Some are a bit of a long shot, some are pretty straight-forward – which is which is up to you (or very clear at the end of 2009). Feel free to comment on my/add your own predictions in the comments!

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

There were a bit of problems with the Tanzania pictures from the previous post (thumbnails weren’t working etc.), but now it should work fine, so have a look (again)…

In the summer of this year, I went to Tanzania with my girlfriend, sister, mother, her husband and his two sons. It was absolutely the most experience packed vacation I have ever been on. I won’t write up a description of it now – just show you some pictures…

Back in my Sun Campus Ambassador pages, we had a JavaFX Alpha session about this “new language” that would come out in a couple of years… Well, those years are now gone and JavaFX is now at 1.0! So definitely have a look at the JavaFX website and when you want to try it (because you will), use NetBeans which is the official IDE for JavaFX – they’ve even made a special JavaFX bundle. I was quite amazed at how easy it was to make great looking flash-ish/Web 2.0 applications with very little knowledge about the language so I’m excited to try the first real release – I’ll definitely be downloading it this weekend…

Well… Looks like I’ll become a Chrome user at some point after all!

And guess what? Google’s dependence on advertising notwithstanding, one of the extension examples the company points to is the ability to block advertisements.
