this post is part of Ritchie’s blog carneval ‘Best & Worst Gadget 2008′ (or ‘Bestes / übelstes Hardware Gadget 2008′, if you prefer german), which is about to end today – so if you want to join, better hurry up!

if you’re into electronic/dance/club-music you’ll agree that the experience of listening to dj-mixes online is far from perfect: music is consumed in large chunks of several hundred mbytes, often without tracklists or other metadata, certainly without cue-points (and therefor no ability to skip tracks). enter Mugasha. all mixes offered at Mugasha include detailed cue-lists & tracklists, [...]
while there’s still no way to get root-access for manually upgrading the firmware of the Austrian T-Mobile G1, MobileCrunch has a promising screencast of Android’s development-branch, codenamed ‘Cupcake’. besides a large number of bugfixes, Cupcake is supposed to include essential new features like a process-manager (to kill those power-sucking background-apps), browser-extensions (improved JavaScript performance, copy&paste, [...]

seems like YouTube recently has been adding a special user-interface (larger fonts, less clutter) for access on TV-sets at youtube.com/tv. unfortunately this is only available for browsers on the Playstation3- or Wii-consoles, but as Google Blogoscoped points out, a simple change of your browser’s user-agent-string to Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 2.00) or Opera/9.23 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1038-58; Wii [...]
visiting Vienna’s WerkzeugH yesterday evening, one might easily have had the impression Vienna’s blogging geeks collectively got something mixed up in their calendars about christmas this year. impatient looks, nervously shuffling feet – and then finally – hastily unboxing, clumsy attempts of inserting batteries & SIMs, followed by the happy smiles only gadget-lovers can sport … (drama [...]
the idea of integrating tweets referencing a particular blog-post (“tweetback”) into the regular comment/backlink-stream of your blog has definitely gained some traction, maybe spurred by this article on Mashable last week.
