Germany cloning goes on …
Aug 8th
Germany is starting to build a name for itself as the startup cloning capital of the world. German clones of popular U.S. services, refer to the very previous post.
The latest German clone, Verwandt, means “related” in English. Its design and functionality is very similar to its U.S. counterpart, Geni (a cool service enabling you to build your own family tree free for free). In fact it goes well beyond similar – Verwandt is a Geni clone dressed up in some cuddlier graphics. It uses the same layout and quick sign-up flash-based registration form as the U.S. site. They’ve also copied the family tree navigation and profile pages. Take a look below to judge the similarities for yourself. Here is:

(No Ratings Yet)Peter Moore resigns as head of Xbox
Jul 19th
It’s hard to call the Xbox 360 anything but a success, but having missed some sales numbers, ringing up an extra unexpected $1b on the corporate card because of warranty issues, and still generally failing to make a profit, it looks like Peter Moore, who we just sat down with a few days ago, has stepped down from his embattled position as the ringleader of Microsoft’s Xbox group. Successor to his role is Don Mattrick, who is taking over not just Peter’s position as VP of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business, but leading the group (including Games for Windows) entirely. Moore’s new job? Prez of EA Sports, down in the SF bay area. Take THAT, Microsoft.

(No Ratings Yet)World’s Fastest Broadband Connection — 40 Gbps
Jul 19th
“A 75-year-old woman from Karlstad in central Sweden has been given a scorching 40 Gbps internet connection — the fastest residential connection anywhere in the world. Sigbritt Löthberg is the mother of Swedish internet guru Peter Löthberg, who is using his mother to prove that fiber networks can deliver a cost-effective, ultra-fast connection. Sigbritt, who has never owned a computer before, can now watch 1,500 HDTV channels simultaneously or download a whole high definition DVD in two seconds. Apparently ‘the hardest part of the whole project was installing Windows on Sigbritt’s PC.”
