Microsoft Corp. is slowing down development work on a new family of its business applications -- known as "Project Green" -- and is instead focusing on the products it currently sells. Because the first products now won't be out until 2008 at the earliest, the number of developers assigned to Project Green is being reduced from 200 to 70, Microsoft Senior Vice President Doug Burgum said Wednesday. Microsoft originally had planned to ship the first results of Project Green as early as late 2004.Microsoft puts brakes on next business apps
The German Cancer Research Center Heidelberg published a report that mainly badly educated and - to be frank - totally stupid people smoke. Intelligent and well-informed people know the risques of the poisonous gases and make the conscious descision decision to stop smoking in favour of their health.

Let's face it: we got kicked out of the EuroCup for a very good reason. You can't blame the coach. You can't blame the players, being very young and not yet ready for those big tasks. They will be in 2006. But there is one group of actors, that is to blame for our drop out: the fans.
The pan shot of the fans during the game between Spain and Portugal: a feast to the eye. Pretty women galore.
The Swedish fan girls. Wow.
Even the British, usually not so well equiped with good looking ladies managed to find some hotties.
And the best we have is Peggy from Erfurt.
Notice something?
And to make matters worse, Germany's big tabloid ran this amazingly stupid title page today:
How on earth were we supposed to succeed? We clearly have to work on that until the WorldCup in two years.

I found five sparkly new gmail-invites this morning. One of them went to a friend, the other four I decided to give to someone else. Since I didn't just want to throw them away, I decided to give them to students, who are studing abroad.
So, if you're a student studying in another country than your own and want a gmail-account, then tell me in the comments, where you come from and what you study at which university. The first four persons will get invited.
Don't forget to put your current working email into the email-field, otherwise I won't be able to send the invite to you. Don't be worried about spam, it won't show the email on the page later on.
Update: Please write your first and last name, since Gmail needs both for the invitations.
Update 2: There are more invitations to give out. Come and get it.

Wolfgang just asked me in ICQ, why I blogged the last entry in English. He was wondering since it's quite sure that no-one outside the German-language world knows this TV-person, who is only known for the fact, that his last name, which translates to plum says a lot about his moderating skills.
In fact, I want to be blogging in English exclusively during this month, both to see, how my readership responds to that and how my English might be improving. If you, yes you are a regular reader here, I would be most delighted, if you left your views on that issue in the comments. Thanks.
evian has one weird sweepstake: they and Kai Pflaume want to fulfil a dream of your youth.
The words on the label are:
The words on the label are:
10x your individual dream of your youth 10 travels to the evian live young week on Mallorca.My first thought was: the very last thing in my individual dream is Kai Pflaume with me on Mallorca. Now what exactly are they planing? Maybe I missed something? Millions of Germans, whose well hidden individual dream is a trip to Mallorca with Kai Pflaume? I was terrified. Luckily, I decided to rip the label from the bottle and on the backside I found an
orbetween those two points. So it's either the individual dream or a trip to Mallorca. Without Pflaume, though, he's just going to pick the winner. Sounds better, but the individual dream of my youth looks different. I checked for the smaller print and found a not so promising sentence:
The fulfilment of the dream will be limited by the promotional budget.Damn. I guess, evian has quite a huge promotional budget, but will it be enough to build a flying car?
The iTunes MusicStore Europe started yesterday and quite frankly, I am not impressed. It's good, that there is finally a legal way to download music over here in Europe, too, but without a credit card it's still closed. And not as many people have a credit card here as in the USA.
Secondly, even though the prices are less than what some pundits calculated before, for my taste, it's still too expensive. I am not willing to pay 10 for an album, which only consists of sound files. If I want to listen to that in my car or in my stereo and maybe even have a nice cover for it, I'd need to invest in a blank CD, coloured printer ink, paper and time. All of those are not too expensive, but added together, they reach between 11 and 12 Euro and for that kind of money, I rather go to the record store in town and get a CD there. The chances to find less mainstreamy music is much better there, anyway

First the big election all over Europe for the European Parliament, which was sadly attended by a way too small amount of people all over Europe and that firmly established the centre-right parties as the main power in Brussels.
The German FDP actually made their way into the parliament, which is rather remarkable and quite deserving, since they are the only German party to oppose software patents. I hope, their voice will be strong enough to make sure, that patents like the one, that granted Oracle a patent about web content management systems, will not happen in Europe.
And then, what a match between France and England. Amazing work on both sides and an amazing last three minutes, that changed everything what looked so sure just before the end of the game.
And to round up this entry, I want to send a big

Listen, guy, I know you want to jerk off to Severina Vuckovic. Me, being a hot porn producer myself - see the moustache - can well understand that. The girl has some serious talent going on and her movie sure is hot. Most professional tapes are boring compared to that. And wow, does she look good!
Just why on earth do you think, you can find the Severina Vuckovic Sex tape here on this innocent little weblog? Come on, you can't even find the Paris Hilton Sex Tape here and that's like so last winter and everybody has seen it anyway.
Did you know, that this guy is actually reading his server informations really carefully and can tell, when you're surfing for porn from an office computer? You sure didn't think about that, right? Or are you actually allowed to search for porn during work time? And then what? Watch it? Right there? In your office?
Anyway, I can't help you to the video right now. But maybe you might like to have a good look at some pierced nipples? Captain Cornelius found those and they sure should have more impact than some pretty standard sex tape.
I hope, I was able to help you, if not, you should ask the church.
Sincerely, Robert Hung, Porn Producer.

For someone, who loves to learn, studying can be a major drawback.
Here I am, with my books again, there I am, on my desk, here I go, playing student again, there I go, turn the page.
The big problem with institutionalised learning is the motivation.
I am highly motivated to know everything about those subjects, that I avoid studying right now by writing this post. I want to know the difference between different groupware systems, I am interested in enterprise ressource planing and supply chain management. I really want to know, what data warehousing is and not only use that to sound intelligent.
But am I motivated to learn that here in my room, from notes and rather - pardon my French - fucked up scripts? No. I really don't. I feel like I only study that right now for the exam tomorrow and not for the actual knowledge. And examination marks were never something to motivate me.
After all, I know, that I am great, why do I need marks to prove that for me?
A quick nap after having had a after-examination beer in the sun and a big lunch sounds like a great idea. But if there is no-one to wake you up it's late afternoon all of a sudden and the workload is still waiting. Sadly though the nap rather made me more sleepy than I was before, so I'm going to have to fight my way through the theory of groupware half asleep. Yay!

Too bad: The Nigritude Ultramarine contest, a Google contest similar to the schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat experiment, was won by a couple of bulletin board spammers. However, the high ranking of Philipp's Google Blogoscoped shows that well maintained weblogs have a realistic chance to be the search engine topping marketing tool of the near future. Whether or not this will catch on might also be well dependent on the success of Nike's joint venture with Gawker Media - Art Of Speed.

She seemed dressed and not all of me Stretched across my shame, All the torment to the pain Leaked through and covered me. I'd do anything to have her to myself, Just to have her for myself. Now I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do When she makes me sad. She is everything to me, The unrequited dream, A song that no one sings, The unattainable. She's a myth that I have to believe in, All I need to make it real is one more reason. I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do when she makes me sad. But I won't let this build up inside of me. I won't let this build up inside of me. I won't let this build up inside of me. I won't let this build up inside of me. A catch in my throat, choke, Torn into pieces, I won't. No. I don't want to be this but I won't let this build up inside of me. (won't let this build up inside of me) She isn't real. I can't make her real. She isn't real. I can't make her real.
