Im Teaser-Fenster, in dem die Top-Empfehlungen des Apple iTunes-Teams erscheinen, erschien diese Woche auf gleicher Ebene wie Herbert Grönemeyers neues Album (das ich natürlich umgehend kauften musste) eine Musik-Zusammenstellung von ICF Zürich. Wer regelmässig Medien liest, weiss, dass ICF gelinde gesagt [...]

When customers become suckhole jerks…

Recently I bought “Delicious Library”, a nice Mac shareware tool from a company called Delicious Monster which helps cataloging books, movies, software, toys, tools, etc. – REALLY great stuff (it scans the barcode from a book/DVD and gets the corresponding data direclty from Amazon.com).
