New iPod shuffle - worst product launch in years!

Posted by Jens in Life
Wednesday, March 11. 2009

Decreasing the size does not matter anymore when you already have a tiny device like the 'old' Shuffle. The result you get from an even smaller (ca. 50%) form factor is bad usability. No dedicated buttons anymore, just a stupid one-button headphone remote (my Panasonic Walkman had that already in 1996). They could have just added the playlist feature to the old Shuffle and done. Voice over, really? Different voices for PC and MAC? WTF!?! And that guided-tour video girl is annoying! Oh boy, did Steve approve all that? Please come back Steve! I am worried about my shares ;-).

The new Shuffle is the best argument for buying a generic and inexpensive USB MP3 stick with twice the memory for at least half the price. Guess what? You'll get a free display with it. Never was a big fan of the Shuffle. But the 'old' one had a nice look and a tolerable interface.

As a product and usability freak, I had to get this of my chest!

Now I feel better.

French TV Ads Top 3

Posted by Jens in Random
Friday, February 20. 2009

I just read this article at Alleyinsider about French TV ads. I'd like to share my top 3 with you. Thank God people in Europe are not afraid of naked breasts and nipples. I am pretty sure many of those ads would not get aired in the US (the country that invented a word like full-frontal-nudity).


Stop AIDS - Use condoms
Cell-shaded animated story of a gay guy, funny clip.


Orange
Awesome adaptation of a totally rad idea

Thanks for the link Philipp! This ad goes so well with my previous post and especially well with my beer coaster thong contest.


BTW, Kölle Alaaf my friends!

Boys see it first

Funny beer ad. Even funnier is that boys get the joke, while girls tend to see the real thing and not the illusion the ad is trying to convey. I am always saying boys are more visionary. ;-)

Dingsda reloaded

Posted by Jens in Random
Friday, November 21. 2008



It's a video from the German government. Kids are explaining European values. This video resembles an old German game show called Dingsda, where kids explained words without saying the actual word. Each time they accidentally said it, you would hear a sound overlay. These kids are just adorable. I especially like the last two the most.

Palin's ABC TV interview

OMG! Her interview was pathetic and ridiculous. She is such a bad speaker, you can see and hear her think. She would not withstand 3 min in Trump's board room. That'd be actually quite a good yardstick ;-). Bring on the show! I can't see how Hilary supporters will swing vote for her. She is a hypocritical clone, just an empty bin with a boring worn-out tape record playing. Sorry guys, I am always for fact-based discussions, but with Palin, I can't do it. She isn't discussing fact-based either. I have tons of respect for McCain, but Palin... don't get me started. She's not even the same league. Go home!

I Met The Walrus

Posted by Jens in Random
Friday, September 12. 2008


Quote from Youtube: In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.

AWESOME!!! I keep watching the German goals of the last two matches and still get goose bumps every single time. And even more when I listen to "Seven Nation Army". The match was a real thriller from the start and even more when the TV signal broke down for ~6 minutes.

All goals semi-final


All German goals quarter-final


Funny story, Germany's most renowned TV news got our flag wrong

Easter winter wonderland 2008
Happy Easter folks! Just yesterday I complained that there are literally zero Easter songs but tons of Christmas songs. Thanks to the weather craziness we can just rephrase all the Christmas songs now: e.g. I'm dreaming of a white Easter. I just love Easter in ALL its colors ;-).




A look outside


What a ride!

Yes! New York Giants Win Super Bowl XLII!

Posted by Jens in Random
Monday, February 4. 2008


Boring match until the last amazing quarter! NY Giants FTW (for the win)!!!

Less than a minute to go the Giants were behind and needed a touchdown, when this scene happened. This pass was key and put them into the position to score seconds before the end. Amazong pass!


I heard rumors about a Michael Jackson appearance during the Super Bowl, but he appeared... NOT. But the Jackson spirit was somehow a part of this year's Super Bowl experience ;-). All Super Bowl ads can be watched here.

Why Magnum80


I just love the TV show Magnum P.I. Therefore Tom Selleck became one of my favorite actors. And the theme song is just the best.
