We just tried it for a short presentation of Shoppinggatan, and here's the result:

I love Chrome but I got it to freeze

I tried Google Chrome today and I must say I love it. A big part of the Google Chrome Comic that we've all read today focused on its stability. However, I got it to freeze. Playing one of my favorite online games, Desktop Tower Defence, it sometimes froze when on keypresses. Keypress, long pause, and the game continued. When I got to the point where it froze for a couple of minutes I killed the process.

So google guys, please fix this so that I can enjoy my favorite online game in my brand new favorite browser! :)

Urbanshortcut.com helps WWF

The social conscience of the exiting new startup Urbanshortcut.com is big. Instead of spending their money on marketing, they'd like to donate money to WWF. Hence they've started a group on Facebook and donates money for every new member.

I really like this concept. A good cause gets attention and money, and an exciting startup as well. It's not new, but it's always nice to see people care!

Why Google is failing - Google "web3.0"

I just googled the term "Web3.0". Funny enough, the top ranked site (after wikipedia) is a blog post from 2006 telling us that Web3.0 is all about a three dimensional web. And I thought that web3.0 was all about personalization and the semantic web.

This is another proof that Google isn't really as good and interesting as it used to be. I hope that they'll be succefull in improving their search engine, because I really like Google!

SonyEricsson Xperia X1 an Apple IPhone killer?

SonyEricsson has launched their newest and cooles cellphone ever, the Xperia X1. It's pretty obvious that it is their answer to the IPhone, with a huge screen and tighter Internet functionality. On the technical side, everything seems really impressive: Better screen resolution than the IPhone, faster Internet connection, built in GPS and a better camera.

But that just isn't enough. The Xperia isn't near as attractive as the IPhone, no matter how impressive it's technical specifications. Because IPhone is cool and has a great interface. SonyEricsson is far from cool, and with a Microsoft Operating System, you can be sure that the interface wont be nearly as good as the IPhone interface.

Whereas Apple has one of the best brands in the world, SonyEricsson and Microsoft has not. Well, not when it comes to cool gadgets anyway. SonyEricsson are great for business phones, and Microsoft have a much better product base with Windows, Office and their servers, but they just aren't cool.

My guess is that the Xperia is an overpriced phone ju between the business segment and the young hip segment. And as always, branding is everything, not reaching any segment totally successfull is nothing.
