comments on the NZ iPhone plans

By lenz on July 9, 2008 12:30 PM | | Comments (0)

the plans for the iPhone in NZ are plain ridicules. NZ is light years behind the global standard and vodafone is trying to sell it to us as a premium service for the high price segment. mobile data usage is standard elsewhere but it looks like vodafone NZ did not even bother to look abroad. 250 meg for 80$ a month is a joke when you compare it to europe or the states.

this video shows the reaction down here quite good :-)

this is a nice read about a really good experiment. google has its hack friday where everyone can work on his own project. 37signals killed the friday entirely. looks like productivity slowly gains over "hours worked".

a good friend is gone ...

i read about it today and still have a sms from him from last week. bernd luevelsmeyer, a good friend of mine, is gone. he was probably one of the most important influences in my work live and guided me on my way to UNIX and the console. he was the best sysadmin i ever had and was always a good friend.

sad to see the real geeks leaving this planet.
