99 Luftballons vs 99 Red Baloons - Lyrics compared

The clip is pretty poor, you really need to click the link. Then you will see 99 Luftballons in German, the German translated into English and the lyrics as sung in English - not an exact translation as you will see. Very neat to see how it was changed for the English speaking listeners, yet retained the spirit of the original.

clipped from www.inthe80s.com 99 Luftballons, Side by Side Comparison I thought a side by side comparision would be very interesting to see how the lyrics had to be changed to fit the meter of the song when it was translated into English from German. I'm not sure who wrote the original English lyrics, but they certainly did a good job at capturing the original spirit of the song. I think it's neat both versions work in Captin Kirk, even if they do come in different stanzas.
Hast Du etwas Zeit fuer mich?	Do you have some time for me	You and I in a little toy shop
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich	Then I'll sing a song for you	buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Von 99 Luftballons	About 99 balloons	Set them free at the break of dawn
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont	On their way to the horizon	'Til one by one, they were gone

Free Battery Tool for Laptops - Battery Bar

Something all laptop owners can use!

clipped from jkontherun.com BatteryBar for Windows Today’s Freeware of the Moment is a BatteryBar that does the same thing and works on any Windows PC.  There is a full-featured free version that shows the remaining battery life in the taskbar and full information about the battery when you hover over the graphic.  There is also a Pro version for $7.50 that supports some extra stuff like themes but I have not found a need to go that route. BatteryBar is a great addition to the mobile computer toolkit and has worked flawlessly for me on Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7.  Give it a try and you’ll see how useful this simple little tool can be.
