It took Apple 20 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes to approve Opera Mini in the App Store for iPhone, iPad Touch (and maybe iPad, in the future?), according to a countup timer on Opera’s website. I don’t think anybody – except Opera themselves – expected their browser to be approved, as Apple has previously … Read more →
In a blog post yesterday, Matt Cutts explains how Google is now incorporating site speed as one of the over 200 signals that they use to determine search rankings. Don’t panic! As Matt Cutts also explains, Google actually launched this already a few weeks back and nobody noticed anything. Fewer than 1% of search queries … Read more →
Just a quick tip on how to reduce your Thumbnails folder in Aperture 3 with around 50%, if you’ve been running Aperture 3 since it was first released. The latest update (3.0.2) fixed an issue with thumbnails being larger in filesize than actually needed and I concur – my thumbnails folder was almost 9GB for … Read more →
When the economy goes bad, like last year (and maybe still, for some), what do you do? Well, what can you do? Make sure you keep your job, which is not always something you decide or control. If the company you work for is in trouble, you might need to rely a little bit on … Read more →
I heard the “main theme” soundtrack from Band of Brothers yesterday on the radio, so I decided I wanted to share it with you. Here it is in a YouTube video with some screenshots from the series as well. If you haven’t seen the show at all, this will probably mean nothing to you. But … Read more →
In an event today, Apple has at its headquarters in Cupertino announced features of the new iPhone OS 4, to be released during Summer 2010 (comes to the iPad during Fall). Steve Jobs took the stage to tell how Apple has won the J.D. Power award three times in a row, for highest customer satisfaction. … Read more →
Some rather hardcore fans of the game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, went together to create a movie which they call Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing. The 7 minute long movie is cool and visually impressive – and it only costed them $209.42 to make it. Not bad. I don’t know if the russian signs … Read more →
Apple has released two three new iPhone ads. Last week, we saw “Commute” and this week a new one has aired, called “Concert” (and yet another one, “Shopper”). The girl in the “Concert”-ad has some serious impulsive buying issues – going from listening to a good song to instantly buy their entire album and go … Read more →
Just like with the iPhone, PC World has also done a stress test on the iPad, to see what it can take and what it cannot. The video starts out with PC World senior editor Tim Moynihan doing a Johanthan Ive parody, telling mostly bad things about the iPad. Even though people usually does not … Read more →
You’re not gonna believe this. First when I created my “Funny Pictures: Google Street View Launched In Denmark“-post, I was amazed on how popular it got – and it still is, actually. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to do one more post, but with world-wide funny Google Street View pictures and that one … Read more →
Just a quick tip to you Apple Aperture 3 users out there, who are experiencing a (very) slow running Aperture 3 – like I did. Mine was so bad, I was about to go crazy. It could easily take 5-10 seconds to make adjustments, and that’s just not good enough. I figured Aperture 3 was … Read more →

Another month has passed and that means it’s time to do another round-up post with my income report for TechPatio.com. You may have noticed how I wrote “Money March” in the title to this post. Well, there’s a good reason for that: I focused a lot of my energy on making money this past month. … Read more →

SONY MDR-NC300D. Perhaps not the most appealing name and probably also not an easy name to relay to older family members when you tell them what you would like for your birthday. The name, however, becomes totally irrelevant once you find out exactly what these earbuds are made of and what they can do… In … Read more →
