The first Apple TV’s arrived at their customers today and soon alot of unboxing pictures could be found. I personally got a commercial email from Apple announcing their Apple TV. I was surprised by the title of their email.

Yes, it says “The Show Starts Now”. For the people who aren’t that annoyed by Vista I might have to explain that I think this slogan makes much more sense than the Windows Vista Slogan “The Wow Starts Now”.

Don’t want to wait for BarCampLondon3? Go to BarCampBrighton!

During BarCampLondon2 some people came up with the idea to setup more frequent BarCamps through the UK, and one of the first places people came up with was Brighton. I personally don’t know that much about Brighton but many people at BarCampLondon2 seemed to be from there so it seems like the place to be.

Register at Upcoming quick because there are only 60 to 80 places and already 59 registrations. Thanks to Dan for noting this BarCamp to me an Ian Forrester and the others for (again) setting up a BarCamp in the UK.

For years I have found Yahoo to be a “shit” company. This is mainly because my mother kept using Yahoo Messenger while this product proved to be very open to hackers. Frequently she asked me if I (as I am a computer science student) could write her a program to restart other people’s pc (in other words hacking) because this often happened to her. Obviously she wanted some revenge.

So I never used Yahoo, not their messenger nor their email. Strangely I do use del.icio.us and Flickr, two sites bought by Yahoo. On Flickr the presence of Yahoo is steadily growing, causing many problems recently when they forced all old-school users like me to switch to a Yahoo account. On del.icio.us though, they are not that present. On the front page they are not even named.

So what is happening here? When Google buys a product they often totally integrate that product in their own services. Is Yahoo aware of their own (bad) vibe with users, and are they becoming more of a consortium of other services besides their own brand? Maybe one day del.icio.us will also be rebranded to a Yahoo product. I must say that I like most of the newly bought Yahoo products, so on that fact they are creating a better vibe in my sense.
