In one of its posts today Fake Steve Jobs writes about our chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer. He came across this article on Spiegel Online about the BZÖ accusing our “emperor” of breaking the law by unlocking his iPhone. And the picture of “Gusi” used in this article is really looking like “he is wearing the Dr. Evil jacket” 
A friend asked me “who is this Fake Steve Jobs?” after reading one of my latest posts. The man behind the fabulous blog Fake Steve Jobs is Dan Lyons, he writes for the Forbes magazine. See this video in which he talks about the story behind creating Fake Steve Jobs:
If you have got some time left (about an hour or so) I would recommend you to watch the interview Guy Kawasaki made with Steve Ballmer at Mix 08 this week. It is the best interview of Steve Ballmer I have ever seen. Although he said of PR sentences it shows a lot personality. It is really funny to see him talk about his competitors Google and Apple. He is truly enthusiastic about what he and his company does. The monkey dance for web developers is another highlight
PS: I decided to leave the embedded movie although it is based on MS Silverlight …
I love him, I love his latest post:
Yeah, we rocked your friggin world, right? I mean 29 June 2007 might be the day the world changed, but today it just changed again. BlackBerry is dead. Microsoft is dead. Windows Mobile is dead. Amazon is dead. Kindle is dead. Nokia is dead. Motorola was already dead but now they are even more dead. Google’s Android is dead. Samsung is dead. LG is dead. Sony is dead. UTStarcom is dead. We’ve thrown $100 million into an iFund so people can build iApps to sell on iTunes and give us 30% of their iMoney. The coming onslaught of new applications will make iPhone the only smart phone that anyone in the entire world will ever want to use.
Seriously, folks, it’s game over. This announcement today is as big as the announcement of the original Macintosh in 1984. At airports all around the world they put flights on hold so that people could stay in the terminal and watch the news as it was announced. In Canada they declared a national day of mourning for RIM. It’s that huge. Today, frankly, is a day that will live in the history of our industry. It’s a classic inflection point. Massive disruption. Schumpeter-esque creative destruction. I am sitting here just watching the trailer for “Ironman” with the volume cranked on my stereo and I’m running around going “I … am … Ironman …” in that weird computer voice. Truly, I am invincible. I rule the world. I am the greatest human being that ever lived. I feel just like that friggin Ironman guy, honestly. Bullets cannot pierce my iron skin. Apple is the greatest company in the world. We rock so hard it’s amazing.
UPDATE: In the list of the dead up above I forgot to mention Palm and Adobe. They are both also dead. So dead, in fact, that I forgot to mention them.
I am a huge fan of Guitar Hero. When I played it the first time some weeks ago all I could say for minutes was “Yeah! … Cool! … Yeah! … Wow!”. It has been a long time since a computer game surprised me in that kind of way. The version of Guitar Hero I tried was “Legends of Rock” on a Playstation 3.
Last Friday I bought myself a copy of Guitar Hero Legends of Rock - I could not resist any longer. Because I wanted to play it on a console in my living room I bought a Wii too. Since that Friday I was not able to go to bed without playing at least one song. The problem is that Guitar Hero is that kind of game that makes you say “Just one more song” to yourself all the time
If you like the included songs it just feels great the more notes you hit. I created my online account that automatically stats about my Guitar Hero career - cool feature tool!
Now I got just one problem: I need more songs! I need my favorite songs! Why isn’t it possible to download songs in the Wii version like in the PS3 version?
At CES Electronic Arts announced that they will produce games for BlackBerry devices. Now their site EA mobile is online.
They are providing this special link for the Game Skate. Call it from your BlackBerry browser and download this (in my opinion) brilliant new kind of BlackBerry game. I already spent some time with it and like it very much.
