For some reason her passion for the books hit me and I bought the books on amazon without really knowing what it’s about other then vampires and a girl in love with one of them.

So after two weeks the doorbell rang and the books had arrived, almost had forgot about them too. International shipping is damn slow but with the euro being like one dollar fifty I can’t realy complain saved about 30 euro’s on three books for just 2 weeks of waiting

By reading this post you know I got hooked immediately otherwise why would this post exist. Six days later I’d finished the books and craving more and my mind wandering what would happen next.

First I had to find out when the next book was gonna be released. Finally I was for ones lucky, only 2 more weeks So I ordered the book on nl.bol.com so I would haven’t have the 2 week shipping and took the extra cost. €17,- so about $26,- for one paperback but heck just can’t wait the extra 2 weeks

So now my theories about what’s gonna happen in Breaking Dawn.

First half of the book,

I think Bella and Edward will get married early on in the first half of the book, Bella can’t be having that much bad luck. So everything is great until just after the wedding when Alice sees the Volturi coming to wipe the Cullens out of existing.

The Cullens probably conclude that the Volturi think the Cullens are a threat to there ancient ways. They made it look like they defeated Victoria and the new born army just on there own without anyone getting killed. And with Bella in the near future a vampire with the power to cancel mind powers the Volturi will severely be down in power.

That’s something they can’t let happen so they mount an offensive against the Cullens. Now it gets interesting because the Cullen need to seek the help of the Werewolf’s and that’s where it get tricky because Sam is still alpha male and doesn’t want anything todo with this.

So Jacob had to decide to step up as alpha male for the pack and I think he does. But Jacob had 1 condition for helping, that Bella stays human.

So the Cullens agree to the demand because Bella can cannot live without them in her live.

So they fight again together but the Volturi are no new born vampires but killing machines living for a fight. So in the end volturi lose the fight that was let by Jane but not before Edward reads Jane’s mind and finds out about Bella gift if she ever becomes a vampire. Jane escapes back to Italy.

In the Battle Jacob dies to save bella from Jane and I think 1 or 2 of the Cullens will be hurt but because there not burned they can heal back together again. Sam probably dies to.

Second half of the book,

Bella is very upset about Jacob and wants revanche on Jane but Edward is reluctant to turn Bella. Bella turns to the one person in the family who can understand what sees going through, Rosalie. She makes a plan that involves Leah and Rosalie and runs away so that Rosalie can turn her without Edward being able to stop her.

Because she choose to be turned the controlling of the hunger is far easier for Bella to do then the others and within no time she is as skilled as the rest of the Cullens. Because Alice has seen the Volturi preparing to mount other offensive that include Aro, Caius, Marcus.

That’s what I have so far.

By all means this is not a great movie but it’s a decent flick.

The story begins with Speed Racer who is a young man with natural racing instincts whose goal is to win The Crucible, a cross-country car racing rally that took the life of his older brother, Rex Racer. Speed is loyal to the family business, run by his parents Pops and Mom. Pops designed Speed’s car, the Mach 5. The owner of Royalton Industries makes Speed a lucrative offer, Speed rejects the offer, angering the owner. Speed also uncovers a secret that top corporate interests, including Royalton, are fixing races and cheating to gain profit. With the offer to Speed denied, Royalton wants to ensure that Speed will not win races. Speed finds support from his parents and his girlfriend Trixie and enters The Crucible in a partnership with his one-time rival, Racer X, seeking to rescue his family’s business and the racing sport itself.

EMI was the first to sell DRM free music in Apple’s iTunes music store soon followed by Vivendi’s Universal. And last December Warner Music Group made the decision to drop DRM. Now Sony BMG as the last one of the 4 major music labels will sell part of its music library without DRM.

This is a great victory for us, the consumer. Now we’re no longer bound to one brand or device.

A passage out of the open letter from Steve Jobs ‘Thoughts on Music‘.

The third alternative is to abolish DRMs entirely. Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats. In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat. If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store. Every iPod ever made will play this DRM-free music.

There are already floating alot of rumors around on the internet, some are reasonably possible and some are wildly insane but still they’re rumors and some of the time there’s a grain of truth to them.

Here is een summary of the rumors for Macworld 2008,

•  Jay-Z and Apple starting a record label.
• An ultra portable Macbook with no cd/dvd drive and a Solid State Harddisk so that the thickness can be reduced by 50% compare to a Macbook Pro models.  It  would also have a 13 inch LED screen and an extra wide multi-touch touchpad.
• An iPhone with 3G for fast internet.
• The new iPhone will maybe make use of the new ultra portable intel cpu chip.
• An iPhone software update(1.1.3) that makes sending sms messages to multiple people possible, rearange your icons the way you like them on the home screen, create webpage shortcuts on your home screen, locate yourself on Google maps using celltower triangulation, hybrid map view in Google maps, Making copy/past possible, and maybe adding video recording to the iPhone.
• The announcement that the iPhone is coming to more countries all over the world.
• Blueray support to the Mac.
• An iMac like dockingstation where you insert the new ultra portable Macbook into.
• Maybe a new iPod touch update that incorporates some of the new futures that the iPhone is getting like, adding shortcut to webpages and rearrange you home screen.
• An update for the Apple TV.
• An Apple TV with blueray player.
• The announcment of movie rentals from Fox and Disney.
• And ofcource something that we never saw coming, the way Apple likes it.

The keynote will start on January 15 at 9 AM, PST and will end at 10.30 AM.

First this may work with Windows Mobile 5 phones that have ICS(Internet Connection Sharing). But this tutorial is written with experience gained from setting up a Samsung i600 Windows Mobile 6 phone.

1. What do you need to make this work?

• Preferably a 3G phone with WM6 that had built-in wifi and bluetooth.
• An iPod touch or laptop

2. That’s the hardware part you also need to following software.

• WMWifirouter
• PHM (if needed)
• Wlan IP Manager (if needed)
• SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab (if needed)
• SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip (if needed)

3. Next check if you can setup a static ip on you WM6 phone.

• Go to -> Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wifi
• If there is a Network Adapters tab go to 6. Ad Hoc , else go to 4. Wlan IP Manager.

4. Because there is no Network Adapters tab on you phone you need to download Wlan IP Manager and install it. Search on google for, WLANIpManager_Setup.CAB and copy and install it on you phone.

5. Setup of Wlan IP Manager(only when you don’t have a Network Adapters tab)

• Go to Start -> Wlan IP Manager

Next step,

• Select options -> New profile
• Input the following settings

  IP 192.168.0.1

  Subnet 255.255.255.0

  Gateway 192.168.0.1

  When done your phone will reboot with the new settings. If an error comes up it could be because your phone is registry locked.

5.1 To unlock follow the next steps(at you own risk, may cause damage to your phone).

Get the next 2 file from google. SPAllowCertificateInstall.cab and SDAApplicationUnlock.zip

• Copy SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab to the root of you phone.
• Run the application.
• After unzipping run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe while your phone is connected with active sync. (If you’re a Mac user use Virtualbox or similar to install windows xp with active sync.)
• Download PHM Registry Editor Smartphone 2002, 2003(ARM/PXA) package.
• Copy it to your phone and install.
• Go to Start -> PHM
• Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies

  Change the DWORD named “1001″ to 1 (could originally be 2)

  Change the DWORD named “1005″ to 40 (could originally be 16)

  HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 1017 = 128 or 16 (before) 144 (after)

  HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\0000 101b = 1 (this key might not exist, if so, create it).

• Restart you phone
• Next Follow the 5. Wlan IP Manager steps again.
• Now it should reboot and have the correct settings.

6. Next step is to setup an Ad Hoc Wifi connection on your mobile phone. - Wifi must be on. - Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wifi - Add new - Enter a Network name. - Networktyppe is internet - Check for device-to-device

  7. WMWifirouter

• Download WMWifirouter and copy it somewhere to your phone.

• Use your explorer and launch WMWifirouter
• Press connect and let WMWifirouter configurate your phone, wait till it’s done.

Now you’re done with you phone and should it be configured correctly.

8. I’m using the setting for an iPod touch for these should also work on a laptop.
