In the course of my participation in the training sessions on project management I created for my delegation to Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge above logo and slogan. It is a reference to the logo of our university. The slogan is ambiguous and can mean “ideas move” as well as “[we] move ideas”.
Having resisted the Iphone effect of my Informaticians and CS peer group, last Wednesday I’ve read on MyDealz about the HTC Desire deal at Deutsche Telekom and finally ordered one as business customer and have gone Android. The device arrived last Saturday, and since then I have used it extensively. So, thanks to my not-reluctand-to-borrow-you-one-(in-the-hope-you-join-us)-guys, here is my personal comparison of the HTC Desire and Iphone.

Enttäuscht wird man von Netcup, wenn man von Vservern von Rackspace oder Amazon ausgeht.

And yes, I have backups. And spare parts, but no additional PSU.
