Großartige iPhone Spiele

Als großer Apple-Maniac spiele ich natürlich auch auf meinen iOS Geräten. Auf dem iPhone bietet sich das natürlich auf Reisen oder zum Beispiel bei Wartezeiten beim Arzt sehr an. Da kommt dann der kleine Zeitvertreib aus der Tasche und es wird ein Spiel angeknipst.

Gerne würde ich dir einige meine Lieblingsspiele hier vorstellen damit sich ggf. auch einige deiner Stunden versüßen können.

Mac App-Empfehlung: Better Snap Tool

Manchmal ist es etwas schwer seine Fenster auf einem Mac zu sortieren. Unter Windows 7 gibt es die praktische Funktion Fenster durch schieben an den linken oder rechten Rand des Bildschirms jeweils zwar auf volle Höhe aber nur auf halber Breite des Schirms zu skalieren um so sehr gut zwei Fenster perfekt nebeneinander anordnen zu können. Eine solche Funktion fehlte leider bisher auf dem Mac und daher mein App Tipp! Speziell wenn man mit einem Mac arbeitet ist es ab und zu schwierig Apps zu organisieren. Speziell wenn man zwei Programme exakt neben- oder übereinander haben oder verschiedene Settings haben…
Magnetic Field Therapy – Science or Snake Oil?

Magnetic Field Therapy – Science or Snake Oil?

As some of you know, I occasionally dive into the world of homeopathy, esotericism, and alternative medicine. One concept that stuck with me from the past—both as a skeptic and as a once-curious believer—is magnetic field therapy. So, I recently took the time to read up on it again. The result? As always, a mix of lofty healing promises, dubious mechanisms, and a whole lot of commercial noise. Sprinkle in wellness marketing, internet scams, and some "miracle devices," and you've got a familiar recipe. Here's what I found when I took a closer look. What is Magnetic Field Therapy? Magnetic…

CRE zum Thema IPv6

Wer, wie ich noch nie wirklich die Hintergründe um IPv6 verstanden oder überhaupt gehört hat, dem sei hier der Podcast CRE von Tim Pritlove zu diesem Thema sehr ans Herz gelegt. In schlanken vier Stunden wird hier jedes Bit und Byte erklärt und durchleuchtet. Das Internet wächst unaufhörlich und selbst die mutigsten Einschätzungen über seine Popularität zum Zeitpunkt seiner Erschaffung sind längst überholt. In diesen Tagen werden die letzten Adressvorräte des aktuellen Protokolls angebrochen und alles blickt auf den neuen Standard: IPv6.

Rage and Reactions: The Controversy Around the “Innocence of Muslims” Video

Mohammed cartoons, a provocative video, Quran burnings.On the other side: flag burnings, violent protests, and embassies under siege. The cycle of provocation and outrage seems endless. Yet beneath the noise lies a more complex question: What actually fuels these conflicts, and how do we prevent them from spiraling out of control? This post is an attempt to explore those questions—not to provide ultimate answers, but to encourage reflection, including my own. It's about free speech, religious respect, media responsibility, and how easily hate can be manufactured and spread. What Sparked the Fire? The short video Innocence of Muslims (2012) was…

The Apple Maps Controversy: What’s Really Going On with iOS 6?

The media frenzy around Apple’s new Maps app in iOS 6 has been frustrating to watch. Reports of navigation glitches, display issues, and inaccurate locations are everywhere. Some headlines go so far as to call the whole thing a "disaster" and a "major embarrassment" for Apple and its new operating system. But before we join the outrage, let’s take a step back. What’s behind Apple’s decision to switch from Google Maps? Are users really stuck with a broken product? And what are the alternatives? Let’s break it down. Yes, There Are Errors — But That’s Only Part of the Story…

Why Do So Many Still Reject Evolution? A Look at the USA and Beyond

When looking at the chart comparing national wealth with belief in evolution, one country stands out in a troubling way: the United States. Among the wealthiest nations in the world, the U.S. ranks near the bottom in terms of belief in evolution. Only around 40% of the U.S. population answered “true” to the statement: “Human beings, as we know them, developed from earlier species of animals.” This puts the U.S. far behind its economic peers and even behind many countries with significantly lower GDP per capita. But what’s even more concerning is that the U.S. is not alone. Other relatively…

Mac App Recommendation: ControlPlane

Who hasn’t been there? You take your MacBook with you wherever you go—work, home, a friend’s place, university, or the library. But each of these places has different needs: you might need different apps, network settings, or audio volumes depending on where you are. To solve this hassle, a clever developer created a free Mac app called ControlPlane. ControlPlane lets you define contexts (like “Work,” “Home,” or “Library”) and detect them using evidence sources—things like the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to, the time of day, or whether an external monitor is plugged in. Based on this evidence, ControlPlane automatically switches…

Why the iPhone 5 Will Be a Success

As some of you know, I’m a bit of an Apple fan. But don’t worry—this isn’t going to be a sales pitch for the latest gadget from Cupertino. I simply want to share why I still believe the iPhone is the best smartphone on the market—and how the iPhone 5 only reinforces that view. A Big Step Forward Last week, Apple officially introduced the long-awaited iPhone 5. Unlike past launches, many details had leaked ahead of time—whether intentionally or not. And yes, as a longtime Apple follower, I couldn’t help but think, “This never would’ve happened under Steve.” That said,…
