I’ve been hearing a lot about Linden Lab’s virtual online society Second Life lately, but I never really bothered to check it out. Well, today I had my first taste of it, when an interactive advertising agency we wanted to interview decided to give us their pitch in their virtual meeting room. After being shown [...]
Here’s a pretty neat picture of last Saturday’s rare night launch of the Discovery space shuttle.
This is hillarious!! This guy sure loves his toolbars, extensions, and plug-ins…
The US and Russia have reached an agreement to shut down Russia-based allofmp3.com, a controversial music download site. This is obviously part of a larger push to bring intellectual property rights in line with WTO standards as Russia aspires to join the WTO next year. It’ll be interesting to see how effectively Russia can address [...]
This is getting ridiculous. It seems to be true; I’ve been getting so much friggin’ spam over the last few weeks it’s not even funny. After a nice four-day Thanksgiving weekend, my inbox at work is completed drowned in spam. I’m not sure who I should be more upset with: the idiot spammers that use [...]
So a few weeks into the life of Microsoft’s Zune, reactions like this one seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Which doesn’t really come as a surprise – Microsoft just doesn’t seem to get the concept of “user friendly”. Before its launch, I was briefly toying with the idea of getting a [...]
Check out Confabb, a new service where you can find information on all sorts of conferences and events. It has reviews, information on speakers, and a bunch of other neat features. I have a feeling I’ll be visiting this site pretty often.
It’s time to get a new laptop again. I’m switching from my beloved and rugged IBM ThinkPad T40 to the T60 (now manufactured by Lenovo). While I love the idea of better performance and new features (like the Integrated Fingerprint Reader), I’m not looking forward to transferring all my data and programs and reconfiguring all [...]
Innaresting…
I saw somebody with a Walkman today, complete with tape and all… Funny, you don’t see those very often anymore.
Ever wonder which of the two major search engines yields better search results? Check out GahooYoogle, which displays both search engine results side by side for comparison. Kinda fun. And at least for me, Google still seems way more relevant.
You don’t have to be a scientist to believe that this will not end well…
In today’s world, it’s easy to get fooled by manipulated pictures…
With all the applications, images, and music files on my beloved little laptop, I’ve been running somewhat low on disk space… So today I finally gave in and bought an external hard drive, the neat little My Book Premium Edition from Western Digital. Now I’m a whole 250 GB of space richer. That’s 256,000 megabytes, [...]
I just added a little Pandora widget to my blog – it’s on the left sidebar if you scroll all the way down… It’s pretty neat, it stores the stations I created so I can have easy access while I surf the web. Try it out- signing up takes only a few seconds, all you [...]
