Forming Letters

… into words. I’ve uncovered one of the biggest cover-ups in human history and you will be the first to get in on the scoop: August 1st, 2008.

Later in the year there will be another revelation coming your way, namely the long-forgotten story of arctic explorer N., who thought he could live in the endless ice, but, sadly, he was mistaken.

Ein stechender Blick, wie bereits erwähnt. Als Kleinkind entdeckte er früh seine Begeisterung für die Farbe weiß und für die unerbittliche Kälte des Nordens.

Meet the Rubber Snake

In times of rising energy prices and pollution, there are a few inventions that could come in handy. The Rubber Snake is one of them.

One of these devices would be able to generate power for about 1,000 homes.

Peek into the future

The future has a lot to offer in terms of technology and consumer electronics. A trend that seems to be emerging are large touch panels and holographic devices.

For example, Microsoft introduced its Surface computer a couple of months ago. Just a few days ago at the Microsoft CEO Summit, Bill Gates introduced the world to Microsoft TouchWall, an impressive multi-touch solution powered by Windows Vista and a special software called Plex.
