Interview with Jimdo co-founder Matthias Henze

The days when you needed to be an HTML expert to create a website are over. Thanks to companies like Google or Yahoo!, even smaller businesses took conscience that the web was a powerful..."

The web–or maybe just the geeky part of the web–seems to be ablaze with a letter and a number: R2. But what does it stand for? R2, for Robonaut 2 is the successor of Robonaut 1..."

Three months ago, NASA conducted the first test takeoff of the rocket that was supposed to replace the Space Shuttle: Ares 1. Nine billion dollars have already been spent on the..."

Microsoft’s creative destruction

An Op-Ed by Dick Brass–a vice president at Microsoft from 1997 to 2004–was published in the New York Times three days ago. In the article entitled “Microsoft’s Creative Destruction,” Mr. Brass gives his opinion on Microsoft’s future. You’ve guessed it: it’s not bright. He also explains why Microsoft seems to consistantly fail to...

Linux App: KJots

It’s always a pleasure to use a simple app. I love Applications that give you the power to make things, that give you total control over what is happenning but sometimes, even I want to concentrate on my task without thousands of controls in the way. When i asked about a good note-taking application for Linux, most people told me about Tomboy Notes. Now, Tomboy is a great...

Watch NASA’s live launch feed of STS-130

This is the last operational year for the Space Shuttle, water was found on the moon, SpaceShip Two was unveiled and the Obama administration submitted a new roadmap for NASA’s future.

Google, Revolutions and World Domination

For the past decade, technology has been defined by Google. The Internet as a medium of communication and knowledge has been neatly packaged within Google’s framework. If you don’t believe me, just google it. What began as an upstart competitor to giants such as Yahoo is now the de facto verb for online searching as well as a multibillion dollar industry. However, to properly...

What next for Spirit?

As you might have heard, Spirit (NASA’s first of two Mars Exploration Rovers) is trapped in sand since May 1st, 2009. After several months of effort, NASA decided to stop trying to free Spirit from the sand trap, which by the way is called Troy. It’s not the first time a MER* is trapped. Opportunity had been trapped in April 2005, but JPL specialists managed to free it...

iPhone App: Rowmote Pro

I’m lazy. Really lazy. The only thing I don’t feel lazy about, besides TechHaze, is finding new ways to cultivate my laziness. This is how I got the idea to write an article for TechHaze, while researching the ultimate laziness app for the iPhone at the same time. Yes, two things at once. You see, laziness is an art, a science: you can’t just improvise it, you...
