Yeah, BILD (Europe's widest-circulated newspaper/tabloid) did this pretty soon after the iPad 1 came out. They have a paid app, too, but I don't hink they charge monthly subscriptions. The Axel-Springer-Verlag (Bild's publisher) are pretty cozy with Apple and push for new methods how to migrate users to paid digital…

The copy is in the borough German Town of Anting, apparently.

Why don't images work? :(

They are even copying the landmarks of my city.

In its last incarnation this fly worked as IT support in India.

Special report from Germany:

It's looks nice from an eye-candy viewpoint. And I bet it's great for a tablet or any other device that is primarily for the consumption of media. But don't want that UI on my work PC.

I was just going to!

That would actually be great for me! My university has given me an iPad for this semester (for a related course) and I instantly fell in love with the device. I have to print/copy texts for € 4 each week, often already scanned. Since I have the iPad I can manage and archive most of the texts on my computer and read…

Such a missed opportunity: He could have shown us the back of a porn site. So it's up to you, I now declare.

25MB for me is a relatively average file... but I have NO IDEA how much an ISS weighs like. I thought the idea of these comparisons was that people relate abstract units to things they encounter in real life.

Well, since Germany is phasing out its nuclear power plants and creating a strong green energy industry the ROI may come later and may not be about a direct job creation. Sooner or later renewable energy will be deployed on a large scale everywhere and if you are among the first nations to do so you have a strong…

Germany, although not a country usually associated with a super-sunny climate, is subsidising the installation of solar panels with its EEG-Act (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz = Renewable Energy Act) since 2000 quite heavily. This helped create a strong local industry in East Germany ("Solar Valley", Q-Cells,…

I think there there is an interesting question of authorship here; who is the creator of the work here? Leonardo da Vinci, Mike Ruiz, the programmers at Adobe creating the algorithm, Adobe, the Chinese painters? I guess different legislations would attribute the authorship differently.

Caption contest for the stamp text below, just reply:

What does it imply if you burn a 32GB non-3G version of the iPad?

"An diesem schönen Freitag lüften wir das Geheimnis um Re35. Obwohl anscheinend allseits gewünscht und herbeigesehnt, handelt es sich bei diesem schönen Produkt leider doch nur um eine Fingerübung aus dem Hause Rogge & Pott im Bereich Corporate Identity und Branding. Und pünktlich zum 1. April wird die entsprechende…

Thanks for the great comment. I wish I could give it a +1 or something like that but take this reply as a sign of my approval.

Where have I said anything about the "highest income bracket"? People of all income brackets buy unnecessary stuff, it's part of our consumer culture (and economic model). If we only bought what we fundamentally needed for life our whole lifestyle would change and many jobs would be unnecessary.
