Most successful UK Kickstarter project kicks off trailer

30/9/2015

 

Boy, I really enjoyed this kickstarter project.
Based on three mini-lp's of the '60's, Stephen La Rivière decided to turn these into real tv-shows. To finance this project he started one of the most successful kickstarter projects in the UK ever. He raised over 200.000GBP in 30 days.
Today he published the trailer of the first new "old" episode to celebrate the Thunderbirds 50th anniversary. It's available in 1080p.
Well done Stephen, congrats on the great achievement.

Apple watch 2.0

22/9/2015

 

As you know I bought myself an Apple watch. Yes the cheapest one because it doesn't make sense to pay more if you do not get more functionality.

Despite my earlier scepsis I must confess I like the watch. The software works quite well for a first version. And now since last night I've put watch versions 2.0 on my wrist.


I will browse through the various new functionalities later this week and let you know my thoughts.


PS the update took forever. Failed 3 times before it installed and crashed on the first launch. Only a hard reset did the trick.

Cupertino Copy Cats

10/9/2015

 

I really love the Microsoft Surface Pro. It's a smooth well thought through device. The stylus, keyboard and mouse it all seems to blend perfectly. The multitasking feature that MS implemented in their OS on tablets works flawlessly.
They must have thought in Cupertino that MS took a giant leap and decided to put their iPad on steroids. The result a complete rip-off of the original MS Surface. Yes,  Apple made it more stylish, but iOS is not so sophisticated  as Windows10, but come on Apple, you can do way better than this or not?

Home for the fingerprint

6/9/2015

 

It seems like a winning combination; biometric fingerprint scanning and the Home or Startbutton. This week Sony announced the availability of the new Xperia Z5 which has a nifty biometric feature.

According to the online website "All About Phones", the fingerprint reader that is embedded in the Home button on the side of the phone works flawlessly. It's another example of increasing security and user-convenience at the same time. That's how we like to see it at FERGIL.

The cyberwar is escalating

So the US is going to take sanctions against China corporations and individuals caught hacking US systems. 

"The Obama administration is developing a package of unprecedented economic sanctions against Chinese companies and individuals who have benefited from their government’s cybertheft of valuable U.S. trade secrets."

Washington Post  August 30, 2015

It is another step in the escalating cyberwar and it will get worse. IoT (Internet of things) which will explode over the next few years, will be another easy target to hack.
We need to focus on making cyberspace a safe and user-friendly place. So security is the key.
So prevention rather than aggression & repression.
