The rumors have been all over the news the last few days – will Apple launch a new Apple TV device, and re-ignite the fire it claimed to have four years ago, back in 2006, with the initial launch of Apple TV/iTV?
I’m really looking forward to JavaZone 2010 (8th-9th Sept in Oslo). They have a very competent group of marketing people working for them, who now have pushed the following Lady Gaga music video parody (called Lady Java), featuring the Norwegian actor Jenny Skavlan.

A quick remix of NRKBeta’s movie capture of the final route for the new city railway in Bergen (“Bybanen“). It was too long in regular speed, so I put it in 8x fast forward using iMovie and added a soundtrack to it (Night Train/Yello). Yagshemash, you like!?
I used the high-res torrent as source, so 1,8GB (for 3:36min) was uploaded to YouTube and is now available in 1080p (it defaults to 720p, however) for your viewing pleasure.
[...] The fact is that new MacBook Pro 15in is a gorgeous notebook to use. You can show me better benchmark results, without doubt, but in the real world this machine boots up quickly, runs smoothly, responds to commands instantly, operates quietly and performs slickly. It looks stylish in an understated way, and heads will surely turn when you place the machine on a boardroom table. In emotional terms, it’s the computer equivalent of stepping into the Cannes sunlight on a hotel balcony facing the sea while wearing a casual Armani suit, no tie. You’re telling yourself “I paid way too much for this” but you love every second of it.
Why, thank you, The Register Hardware, the wait has now become outright unbearable.
Perhaps this week?
I decided to make the topic the error message, since it’s what people often are searching for when experiencing a problem .
Problem scenario: You’ve downloaded a file from t3h intranetz on your Snow Leopard MacBook, and opens the file (possibly a PDF or DMG file) using the Mac. Then you try to copy the file to your SMB/CIFS network share (Samba/Synology/QNap/ReadyNAS/{your NAS device here}), but get the following dreaded and dumbfounding error message:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
In September 2008 I bought a aluminum 13,3″ MacBook (“unibody”). It was not cheap, but still it must have been the best purchase of technology for me – ever. The laptop – which I’m currently using to write this post – is small enough to use anywhere, and big enough to use for more than check your email (that did not apply to the 7″ 701 Eee PC I had a few years back).
I will not spend hour upon hour discussing the decision to award USAs president, Barak H. Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize of 2009. What always is interesting, though, when big speeches are made, are what Wordle.net‘s word art generator can come up with. A quick visualization of the most important words in his speech can thus be as follows (three variants).
Tertnes 99 Blå, the football team my son is a part of, just attended the football tournament FotballCup24 in Vestlandshallen, Åsane in Bergen.
As always a great experience, and this time I had the opportunity to bring my svelte Canon EOS 5D Mark II to play with as well. After filming for a while, and adding quite a few sounds and transitions using Apple iMovie ’09, I decided I had a product I could show to the little ones .
Interested? Of course, read on to see the video clip on YouTube.
