So thanks to Google’s index from 2001 i found myself not only taking a step back in time but also seeing the future at the same time. Today everyone knows what the iPhone is but there was another device named iPhone that was seven years ahead of it’s time, namely the iPhone 2050 it even [...]

Something had to change, I have really never understood why Apple ships their excellent music players with subpar headphones/headsets. So I have tried out a pair of Sennheiser MM 50 iPhone for a couple of days now and needless to say, its a big step up from what Apple offers with the iPhone. What hit [...]

Today we received the four servers we ordered from Dell just last week.

Is Python significantly faster than Ruby? The Computer Language Shootout says so. We’re working on setting up a small test suite of the type of computing we will need to do in our application, so we can do a fair benchmarking.

I’m working with the technical development of Testfreaks. An early big technical decision will be what technology and programming language to use.

The first thing we notice is that the player has the official Blu-Ray logo, but lacks the HD-DVD logo. That means that all the talk about DVD Forum not approving the Player as HD-DVD player seems to be right. I wonder if there will be more manufacturing following with dual formats, or will one of [...]

One problem with outsourcing is how to instruct and train your outsourced personnel. We are hoping that one of many solutions is video tutorials.

The rumors about the Apple iPhone have been around for a long time now and it’s almost exploding these last days with the recent writings in Gizmodo.

Our new site, testfreaks, will have a lot of reviews, tests and user comments. The aggregating and structuring of this information will take a lot of our time. Therefore we have decided to outsource these parts to a company that’s situated in a country with cheaper labour than Sweden.
