OK, so yesterday I wrote about the funny Greek captions on the iPad intro video on YouTube. I started transcribing the Greek, but two minutes in I got tired (too much work). The original video can be found on youtube (see previous post) and Engadget's English caption screenshots can be found here (click)

Anyway - here is the Greek:

Είναι αλήθεια επωφελέις για όλους κάτι είναι θέσεις ικανότητα σας να κατανοήσουν πώς λειτουργεί αυτό είναι που γίνεται μαγικό και και αυτό είναι ακριβώς ο,τι το εκλογικό σώμα.

Ελπίζουμε να σας δούμε κάποια simpson δέδομενου ότι τα οικονομικά ενδεχομένως ειπωμένος .

Είναι λίγο πολύ πολύ ενιαίο κομμάτι της ΜΑΟ καθώς και ότι είναι ότι δεν είναι ακόμη ένα ενιαίο νόμισμα δεν υπάρχει προφανής Είναι στο σωστό δρόμο λάθος δρόμο του σπιτιού . Θεωρώ τον εαυτό μου για την αλλαγή θα πρέπει το προιόν να αντιμετωπίζει με εξετάσαμε τη συσκευή αναποφάσιστοι να ξανασχεδιαστεί . Ας συναντηθούμε σχεδιασμού που αναφέρονται πραγματικά ανασυγκρότηση κάθε πράξη κρατιέμαι ειδικά για το μάτι με αυτό μεγαλύτερη οθόνη το γεγονός ότι είναι μόλις λίγο και μικρότερων ομολόγων τους στο παρελθόν εκεί τάξη μεγέθους.

And here is the babelfish:

It is true benefit for all positions is something your ability to understand how this magic is done and this is exactly what the electorate.
We hope to see some simpson Since economic told where.

I call it was and we learned so much from so many helps and basic technology applications to the Baltic countries will face was incredible like to undertake. I may have an unlikely new experience experience will change is how we can support
It is a little too much single track MAO and that is that there is even a single currency is not obvious is on the right track wrong track in the house. I consider myself to change the product will have to deal with the device looked indecisive to redesign. Let's meet design out any real reconstruction is retained specifically for the eye with this larger screen that is just slightly smaller and their counterparts in the past where class size.

I'd be the best two reasons why you just hold a book or a magazine or newspaper in your hands you can read online hold in your hand like the surface of this heart can simply see more from the west as a service.

I came across this story from Engadget. If you head over to YouTube you can access some beta features such as automatic captioning of videos and automatic translation of said videos. Now, I had never viewed the iPad intro video, so this was all new to me. I clicked on the Closed Captioning to enable it and the English was somewhat amusing.

The fun really kicked in when I clicked on Greek translation. Watching this video is like Babelfish to the power of 10! I will try to capture the text sometime this week and translate it back to English (personal translation and a babelfish one). It should be humorous :-)

I saw this the other night when I got home after having seen it on Twitter (via @asteris).

Honestly the situation seems like a major clusterfuck. It seems like a classic north south divide and the unfortunate (or just callous use of the PIGS acronym) is making things worse.

Here's an excerpt from last week's saturday night live.

I laughed out loud when I saw it because often times I have the same reaction to Winter Olympics :-)

Ο titanas στο pestaola.gr λεει πως ίσως αυτή η διαφήμιση να είναι η χειρότερη διαφήμιση της cosmote.

Εντάξει, μπορεί να έχει δίκιο, δεν τις έχω δεί όλες τις διαφημίσεις της cosmote γιατί δεν μένω Ελλάδα. Εγώ πάλι όμως γέλασα με αυτή την διαφήμιση :-)

Well, Symbian^3 is going to be out later on this year and I am looking forward to it!




Now sooner than Symbian^3 is announced, Symbian^4 "first look" videos are already out:






The future looks bright for Symbian. Even though I like my iPhone, I would switch back to symbian if:

• I could get a phone subsidized by my carrier


• I could easily install Greek support on it


• I could sync easily with my Mac's PIM


• I could sync with Mobile Me


• I could sync my music easily

I have to say that my iPhone+Mac+Mobile Me experience has spoiled me, so much so that I view switching platform as a big PITA.

Finally a Windows Phone that I am jazzed about!

After many years of Microsoft holding onto backward compatibility, they've decided to pull a MacOS and move forward! This is something they needed to do for a while because, as I've said before, the older code base was holding them back! Now they can finally move forth without the ball-and-chain of backward compatibility, innovate AND finally integrate some of their other properties like Zune and XboX.

I am not a huge Zune fan, but I do like the slogan "every windows phone a zune"

Pretty funny!






First it started with Facebook, MySpace and Twitter status updates (i.e. getting caught in a lie about your whereabouts - especially if it's work related - and now it's moving into Foursquare and the like. I do wonder if people know that their info is actually public and not private, unless otherwise specified.





I wonder how Google Buzz fits into all of this (and how it can be parodied!)

I was walking over to an Indian restaurant on valentine's day to grab some dinner for us and I noticed that the Edgewater Cafe, an awesome Mexican place, closed down last November. Yeah it's a little late (3 months after the fact) but it's still sad. That place had some killer food!

On the nice side of things, their chef went to a sister restaurant so the food is still accessible and a Mediterranean restaurant us opening in it's place. I hope that they've got some tasty Greek food!

I am one of those who believes that VDay is just another one of those Hallmark Holidays, but that doesn't mean that you can't have a little fun :-) I had a good laugh at this PhD comic strip
