Stuff’s happenin’

Once more I realize how exciting the whole digital/internet/virtual world is… to me, at least.

Microsoft trying to buy Yahoo!. Amazing, I remember Yahoo being the best search engine around, 5 or 6 years ago. An now, one of the most evil cooperation is trying to take it over. Oh no!
This would mean bad news for Flash because Yahoo is a big Flash-loving company, and Microsoft isn’t… (they even have a flash competitor called ‘silverlight’)

Toshiba giving up on HD-DVD. This means that Blu-ray is the official new generation DVD format and in not-too-long we’ll all be watching our high-def movies on Sony Blu-ray discs.
Oddly enough, Toshiba’s stock seems to be going up, instead of down.

Actionscript 4.0 announced. And I have just started getting into Actionscript 3.0.

Tomorrow, my own little company will become an official ‘Holding’, which is a dutch construction of a company owning shares of another company.

All this stuff going on, and we’re all in the middle of it.

Amazing, really.

Tax returns for Apple users only! (this week)


Lol @ Dutch windows users.

The program used for submitting the ‘income tax return’ isn’t working. In Holland, most people submit their ‘income tax information’ in January, I guess the Windows users just have to wait for a bit, because only the Linux and Apple version are working. :-)

Check the worst google-translation ever for proof (while it’s still there):
