contest, article, blog, Opera Link
...
Yeah, I'm still alive... but it's been a long time, I apologize.
I recently participated in the German My Opera contest about writing something for their weblog. So I did. My blog post is about this awesome feature called "Google Link". If you are able to read German, check it out:
Komfortabler Umzug dank Opera Link.
Well, and if you don't: Just watch the video below. It explains everything in 50 seconds. Well invested 50 seconds, of course
Stay juiced,
Daniel
PS: I just uploaded my profile picture... a bit juicier, don't you think so?

Apple, Microsoft, Jeff Jarvis, journalism
...
On onemanandhisblog.com Adam Tinworth writes about
Compulsory tech for journalism students.
There,
Jeff Jarvis adds a comment that lead me to comment as well:
Right, Adam, we are teaching standard software. Importantly, we also provide free licenses to that software while the students are in school. It is quite a package: Final Cut Pro, the entire Adobe suite, and much more. We pass those licenses on to the next class. It's quite a benefit while the students are here. So we do require the Mac.[/CODE]
My response:
At my university in Germany it is quite different: We have netbooks, notebooks (some new lenovo ones - great!) and special ones with AVID (lot's of RAM).
We also have DSLR (500Ds) and really nice video cameras (3000$+ panasonic).
So we're well equipped.
Do we need Mac? It would be nice so have some in addition, and maybe some iPads - so that we can learn how to operate on MacOS and check out the readability on an iPad (important as "online journalists").
But should we ONLY use Mac and all of us have Mac? I'd say no.
What's important as journalists? That you do your research well (internet, phone calls, emails, meetings/interviews), write well and check your facts.
Whether you use Mac or Windows: who cares? Most offices still use Windows (at least in Germany) - so it's still beneficial to know how to use this OS (not to say more important than MacOS).
Why reject Windows laptops that are not only cheaper but also better (hardware)? Sorry guys, but Apple macbooks aren't faster. You pay 2000$ for a macbook pro - but for only 1200$ I get a better equipped windows laptop. And it's not only more RAM, more HDD (important for the large images and video files!), but it also operates faster. (I compared it many times and can't see that Macbooks are truly faster...)
About standard: As journalists it's most important to have the same standard for writing software. So Office 2007/2010 or 2008/2011 for Mac is much more important than the OS. Because there's nothing more annoying than receiving an Open office document and editing it (comments, argh!), saving it and sending it back. It becomes a mess.
So why give in to the hype about Apple? Especially as journalists we should be neutral and not write about each new Apple product with an excitement that is sometimes worse than that of PRs.
So I'd disagree with you, Jeff Jarvis. We as journalists don't require the Mac. We might require MS Office 2010 and some skills how to do our jobs as journalists in a proper way (research, write, fact checking). That's way more important than having the latest gadgets for a much more expensive price.
I'm a glad(!) Windows laptop user for years and can't see any benefit as a journalist(!) using a Mac instead. Especially since Windows 7 (which becomes more like a mac & is much better), compared to the AppleOS that gets more and more complaints.
What do you think?

Coca Cola, Media, facebook, Internet
...
Many people may wonder why the social network Facebook is offering a „like“-button but no “dislike”-button. There have been numerous assumptions on where the whole liking-mania is leading. A few days ago I read about a new development in our Facebook-Planet which actually made me feel sick. There you go:
In Israel, a 800-person summer resort for teenagers – called the “
Coca-Cola Village” –, experimented this year with the extension of the Facebook “like”-button: The liking-machine. This glorious machine links offline-products with online-commerce. The teenagers who were enjoying waterslide, volleyball and massages had now the option to “like” the activity on Facebook by scanning their RFID-equipped bracelets at a nearby machine.

... is Indonesian and means "too busy". That's how I feel most of the time. But recently I spent a lot of time with a friend. This reminded me on how important it is to spend time with your real friends. Because life is not about work -
it's about relationships.
A woman once said:
We have so many friends on facebook that we need a new word for the real ones.
How true.

Opera 10, browser, opera, Opera 10.50

thanks, opera, contest, Opera contest
To come straight to the point: Unfortunately I did not win the Opera contest (see below). But I did win new contacts, gain experiences and especially improve my writing skills (I hope you may benefit from that in future
).
So all in all it was worth spending my time on the articles I've written for and about Opera. Today Angus from Opera Software told me on the phone about the decision they've made. Even though it's not the answer I wished to hear, I am glad to finally know the answer (to life, the universe, and everything
). Waiting can be terrible - especially when you're as unpatient as I am.
At this point I'd like to thank Angus, Kei and everybody else from Opera Software for giving me this chance and choosing me for one of the three finalists. For me it's a huge success, especially when I consider the fact that the other two finalists are both native speakers instead of me (German).
Special thanks goes to Alex from Opera Software for helping and encouraging me during the contest. Thank you!
The last few days was like holding my breath. But now I can breathe again. The next days and weeks I'll use my breath to show you new pictures of the East Sea. Therefore: Stay juiced!
Cheers,
Daniel
PS: Thanks to all of you who commented and voted my article - you're great!

contest, Internship, Competition, Opera Internship Competition
First of all, thanks to all of you, who voted for my article last time! The reason for this short entry is just to tell you two things:
1. I'm participating in the Opera Internship Competition and would love to win this competition, since I also study online-journalism in Germany and seriously want to go abroad again after 1 1/2 years in Indonesia and South Korea. And because I love Opera, this would be THE perfect internship for me.
2. If you like my article
The Top Ten Best Places to use Opera, please add it to your favorites. But
make sure you have to add the post to vote for it, NOT my blog (which you can do as well, of course - but doesn't count for the competition).
3. Thanks to all of you who vote for my article. But first of all, enjoy reading it:

10. ON THE TOILET: Opera Turbo makes everything faster and smoother. It literally
“boosts slow connection speeds”.
9. ON AN AIRPLANE: Automated Crash Reporting makes everything more secure. If we are going to die, we can at least tell Opera why.
8. IN THE JUNGLE: Fight
wild animals with the ultimate answer defense:
Opera Dragonfly. With the shortcut “F8” we can
continue the execution.
7. ON THE MOON: That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind:
Opera Mobile.
6. AT THE BEACH: With the personalized Opera we can
“choose from hundreds of skins” until we finally look
sexy nice!
5. ON THE N SEOUL TOWER: Definitely
the best place to see the amazing capabilities of Quick Find. People, streets, cars — Opera finds them all.
4. AT A JAM SESSION: Just start, play, and
have fun. See where it gets us and save a collection of jam
sessions.
3. AT THE ZOO: Thanks to
Feed Preview, with Opera it is 100 per cent safe to visit zoos. And the
Mouse Gestures even help us to control the animals!
2. AT THE MALL: While women go shopping to personalize their wardrobe and choose from hundreds of items of clothing, the guys can
personalize Opera and choose from “hundreds of skins and setups” and “change the entire layout of the browser”. Shopping will never be boring again!
1. AT THE PLACE WE'RE AT: So Opera can make us happy and we can make everybody around us happy.
TO SUM IT UP:

opera, browser, time saving
The average person nowadays spends two hours a day web-browsing, which adds up to more than 30 whole days each year.
Therefore, it’s becoming more and more important to browse as smart, fast, and efficiently as possible to get the most out of our time.
While we can’t prolong the time available to us – a day always has 24 hours – we can save some of it. On the web, the best way to do this is, by far, browsing with Opera. By using this Norwegian browser, we can save up to one week each year. The recently released Opera 10 has many features that can help us to save just this much time:
10. Download Manager: We all know how annoying it is when a download is suddenly canceled. This happens maybe once a week, and means we have to start the download all over again. Opera’s download manager saves us the aggravation.
9. Feed reader: Most of us use another program, which slows down our computer or logs in to another web service, costing at least ten seconds every time. Why not save that time instead by using Opera’s included Feed reader?
8. Opera Mail: Opera 10 comes with an excellent mail client, making it as comfortable as possible to send and receive new mail within Opera. With this feature, there’s no need to switch to other programs or websites.
7. Tabs and sessions: Most of us have a number of websites open simultaneously and sometimes need to save them for later. Opera can do this for us. Even when we accidentally close websites, Opera can reopen them with just two clicks.
6. Opera Link: Using different computers, mobile phones (Opera Mini), and notebooks at work and at home makes it difficult to synchronize our bookmarks, notes, or searches. The solution is Opera Link.
5. Quick Find: We humans forget things all the time. However, thanks to Opera, we can also find them again just as quickly. Websites, bookmarks, or even articles – Opera’s history makes our sloppiness history.
4. Speed Dial: Take the time to type in the web address you want to visit? No way; Speed Dial makes it possible to have 25 favorite websites only one click away.
3. Password Manager: Forgetting our passwords is frustratingly easy, especially when we’re logging into a vast number of web services such as facebook, twitter, or My Opera several times a day. The answer to this is just one click away, or simply “Ctrl+Enter”.
2. Opera Turbo: Slow internet connections or huge websites with tons of pictures cost us a lot of precious time due to loading. With Opera’s compression technology, slow connection speeds are compensated for.
1. Mouse Gestures: This feature enables us to open, close, and reload tabs without even touching our keyboard. Just by simply using this outrageous feature, we may save an entire day each year! It’s definitely the best time saving feature.
