International Bloggers' Day for Burma on the 4th of October
International bloggers are preparing an action to support the peaceful revolution in Burma. We want to set a sign for freedom and show our sympathy for these people who are fighting their cruel regime without weapons. These Bloggers are planning to refrain from posting to their blogs on October 4 and just put up one Banner then, underlined with the words „Free Burma!“.

Manu Chao - Mr. Bobby / Bongo Bong
This song by Manu Chao always makes me smile and feel so positive. There are two versions with same melody line: Mr. Bobby and Bongo Bong. Bonuses: A live version of Mr. Bobby at Werchter 2006 and a… Robbie Williams’ version of Bongo Bong.

Apple's recent update for the iPhone's firmware rendered unlocked iPhones - those that had been modified either through software or other means to work outside of AT&T's network - unusable, and the firm has so far refused to back down from its hardline stance.

Chili-Alarm in Wohnhaus
Mit dem Versuch, rund ein Kilo Chilischoten in seinem Mikrowellenherd zu trocknen, hat ein Mann am Dienstagnachmittag die Bewohner eines Hauses in Wien-Margareten in die Flucht geschlagen. Der beißende Geruch führte nicht nur dazu, dass das Stiegenhaus nur mehr mit Atemschutz zu betreten war, er trieb auch den Mitarbeitern einer angrenzenden Werbeagentur die Tränen in die Augen.

I have selected the ten I think are the best of the genre and included a small snippet of each below. Interestingly only 3 of the ten films here are in the English language - I wonder what that says about the UK and USA when it comes to fine cuisine!
