  • In Germany, there is a law that regulates the amount and intervals of advertising for private television broadcasters: 20% or 1/5 per broadcast day may be used for advertising. Programs that are shorter than 30 minutes may have a break, otherwise there must be 20 minutes between commercial breaks - 30 minutes in the evening. Unfortunately, there are still some loopholes.

    Children’s programs are not allowed to have commercial breaks.

    It’s a shame that this law still doesn’t apply to YouTube.



  • Remembering the situation when Macromedia was bought bei Adobe – now I have the same vibes again. Five years later nothing was left except Flash – that horrible piece of software – and Dreamweaver – I liked that one. The best transition back then was from Freehand to Illustrator and (consequently from Quark) to InDesign.

    And then in 2015 to Affinity. So … 5 years with Corel, 12 years with Adobe/Macromedia, now 8 years with Affinity, so far … let’s see what they do and what we decide afterwards.
