			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought that the weeks at <strong>NY</strong> were a bit crazy, but I had one hell of a weird week down here afterwards. Must have received some injection down there. What a nice timing, right before <strong>exams</strong>!</p>
<p>By the way, &#8220;<a href="http://www.diebank-brasserie.de/">Die Bank</a>&#8220;, which was a full fledged bank for over 100 years, is a pretty nice place with good music for either chilling with the laptop, signing a contract or having some delicious snack with drinks in the heart of Hamburg.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://blog.sukimashita.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/18012008321.jpg" rel="lightbox[mw]" title="Die Bank, Hamburg, Germany"><img src="http://blog.sukimashita.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/18012008321.jpg" alt="Die Bank, Hamburg, Germany" height="335" width="444" /></a></p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://blog.sukimashita.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/18012008324.jpg" rel="lightbox[mw]" title="Die Bank - Food"><img src="http://blog.sukimashita.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/18012008324.jpg" alt="Die Bank - Food" height="335" width="445" /></a></p>
<p align="left">Make sure to check it out if you are around there and take the stairs to the right.</p>
<p align="left">Also had a late business meeting for a new webapp project which I can not talk about here. If done right it will be 2-3 months before <a href="http://www.facebook.com">Facebook</a> goes down! No, wait, I mean <a href="http://www.studivz.net/">StudiVZ</a>. That german pixel perfect clone of the social giant is enforcing a new commercial-friendly privacy agreement many users don&#8217;t like.</p>
<p align="left">Additionally <strong>Facebook</strong> is soon heading for the one only missing feature before world domination: <strong>localization</strong>, which will give <strong>StudiVZ</strong> a hard time. Similar what can be seen with &#8220;invest-VC-in-me-coz-I-copy-that-US-site&#8221; <strong>MyVideo</strong> (I won&#8217;t even link to those freaks here, sorry!) and their loss/move of the userbase to the recently germanized <strong>YouTube</strong>. It seems not very likely that two social sites with the same service/application survive in the web 2.0 market.</p>
<p align="left"> Anyways, time to fix the promised music thing while we are waiting for <strong>Apple</strong> to <strong>release details</strong> about the <strong>iPhone/iPod Touch developer SDK</strong>. Judging from that blown <strong>Macworld Expo</strong> <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/macworld2008/">drama</a> this Tuesday and charging <strong>iPod Touch</strong> users <strong>$20</strong> for the iPhone <strong>apps</strong> (Google Maps, Mail, Stocks, Weather, &#8230;) means they have not left the best lookout for <strong>next month</strong> on this topic. Expecting extreme vendor lock-in ala <strong>Symbian Signed</strong>. Nevertheless below an exclusive video of the new <strong>Thinkpad Air</strong>, awesome stuff.</p>
