Google Maps fährt U-Bahn

Google beginnt nun, auf seinen Maps öffentliche Verkehrsmittel anzuzeigen. Die Darstellung ist genau so rudimentär wie unvollständig und fehlerhaft. Schön ist aber, dass Google Maps die Linien in den gleichen Farben wie auf den lokalen Netzplänen darstellt. In den nächsten Wochen wird sich sicher noch etwas tun.

London (harder, better, faster, stronger) on Vimeo

„I really wanted to make a video of London while I was there earlier this year but I didn’t had any camcorder, so I took pictures instead. In fact I took more then 3000 pictures and put them all together in less then 2 minutes. Pump up the volume and enjoy.“

Linux auf dem USB Stick – UNetbootin = Universal Netboot Installer

UNetbootin allows for the installation of various Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive, so it’s no different from a standard install, only it doesn’t need a CD. It can create a dual-boot install, or replace the existing OS entirely.

Requirements

Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista, or Linux, or a USB Drive. If you are having trouble with the Linux version, try the Windows version, it usually works better.

A broadband internet connection to download the distribution packages (unless installing from pre-downloaded media, see below)

Spare hard drive space to install the OS in (varies depending on distribution)

Features

UNetbootin can install to your local hard disk or make a bootable liveUSB drive. It can also load floppy/hard disk images, or kernel/initrds, or (some) ISO (CD image) files, for installing other distributions.
