  Vodafone.de not Capable to Deliver a Stunning Web-Layout

Vodafone.de under Linux/Firefox

Once somebody must have told them that boxes are a good thing to grab a user's attention, unfortunately implementation lacks a bit of professionality - their promo-boxes slipped off the bottom-line.
The sun is not really shining on Vodafone.de: Missing the whole Private Tab under Business:

  Looking Forward to See a Mobile Web 2.0 Revolution!

Gadget World!

Anytime, anywhere access to any multimedia services is already in progress and addresses current trends in the telecommunications sector and a shift from a network-centric to a user-centric approach can be monitored within the fastest moving market in the world today. But sometimes I get the impression, the telecommunications sector has completely lost - just wondering why!!

  New Deal: Berlin in 3D on Google Earth
After the Bavarian State Library and participating publishers announced to cooperate with Google to digitize copyright-(free) books and make them available through Google book search it's now Germany's capital Berlin to make a 3D model available to the global audience on Google Earth.

For the instance it can be seen via this link (requires Google Earth) or as a wmv video (Windows Media Player).

From Berlin 3D:
'The model consists of some 44,000 buildings in the centre of Berlin shown in rudimentary detail (level of detail - LOD - 1). Of these, about 500 particularly significant buildings have been assigned photos of their respective façades.'
From Google Earth Blog:
'Buildings that are further away automatically disappear (so they don't use too much memory, and so you see more detail when you are closer to the buildings).'
As processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time including emerging cinematic experiences and immersive technologies to create a compelling 3D model becomes more exciting.

  Fascination of Immersive 3D Experiences
Immersing oneself in scuba diving is not only a passion or a lifestyle, it's a great opportunity for self improvement, to meet a lot of great people, to share that experience with others and to help to preserve that experience for the future.

Immersing oneself in virtual worlds to explore new places and opportunities is an exiting new trend and engagement that may represent the next steps in the evolution of the Internet complementing that of ubiquitous computing.
Currently there is about 12 mio people who participate in and with MMOG's regularly, every second is involved in WOW and assuming that an average player is about 30 years old and spends more than 20 h a week participating in his favorite experience immersive 3D experiences represent attractive new business opportunities.

Why I'm fascinated? Because I like diving...

When I started scuba diving more then 10 years ago I remember my motivation was to explore new places and experience a different world with new colors, shapes, textures and creatures in clear, tropical water staying underwater for periods of time greater than human breath-holding ability allows. I followed several PADI courses and 100 dives later I passed the instructor level with the leading organization Euro Divers Worldwide.

  3D Panoramic Spheres in Google Earth
As processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time including emerging cinematic experiences and immersive technologies to create a compelling 3D model becomes more exciting. I just discovered these panoramic views in Google Earth:
Blurring the virtual and physical worlds just makes me think of how many business opportunities and of course challenges will occur.
