Oh this is nice. My good friend Jos provided me the link below. Microsoft’s attempt at an internet search engine is called Bing. They registered a lot of bing.<tld> domains.. but not all… not all… Here’s Bing Liechtenstein. Thanks Jos for providing this link.
Oh look at this. I saw this picture on digg. During a flight-show two boeings performed this very dangerous stunt. Emil Watson took the marvelous photographs. Great job!
I told you… I haven’t been drinking. Pass me the breathalyzer and I will prove it…
Great joke when you are sober and pulled over for an alcohol-check.
Okay here’s a really funny video. Sure you’ve seen all the raps to order at drive-thru fast-food joints… But these guys do it in a folk song…. and… they get p0wn3d… BIG TIME!!
Oh this is very nice. I just came across this geek hack that plays the Super Mario tune using the stepper motor of a laser cutter. Now they actually use both axis. One for the tune the other for the bass parts. A truly amazing hack found through hackday.com. Even the ruby source code is available through the link.
Now here is a piece of remarkable news: Antarctic ice is growing on some parts and not melting. And I thought the Al Gore “inconvenient truth” ‘awareness’ program was just a load of bullshit. But now that the ice is growing around Antarctica I have to confess that Gore at least created some awareness amongst the ice itself. The Antarctic ice clearly got the message and now stops melting and is even recruiting happy little crystallized friends.
Or could this have anything to do with the all time low in solar activity? Hell no! What am I talking about? That is not true because Al Gore says so. My mistake. Way to go Al Gore! Now do a campaign on the financial crisis… How about “an expensive truth”? The vaporized money will come to its senses and will materialize again. Go for it man! You have my full support for you speak the truth and nothing but your convenient truth.
Oh this is nice. A small video of a simulation what you would see if you were falling into a blackhole… well until you hit the singularity itself.. that is still a mystery. But if you happen to fall into a blackhole please drop a line and tell me what happens next…
This seems to be the future of creativity. Kutiman used multiple YouTube video’s of people playing instruments to create a beautiful mix. This is really amazing…
A nice article on this video can be found here. More video’s can be found on Kutiman’s page.
The airstrip at St. Maarten (SXM) is known for it’s dangerous approach. On YouTube you can find many examples of this. However this video is the most bizarre landing I’ve seen. This is really.. really… really close.
Oh no… today is 03/03/09 and today is much anticipated by many obsessed math-fans. It’s Square Root Day. For those who don’t know: 3 x 3 = 9 (32=9). This so utterly useless, boring and stupid that I had to mention it. You can read all about it here… and here’s a small quote so you know you won’t miss anything by completely ignoring this topic.
“These days are like calendar comets, you wait and wait and wait for them, then they brighten up your day — and poof — they’re gone,” said Ron Gordon, a Redwood City teacher who started a contest meant to get people excited about the event.
Mayday mayday… we’re going down.. we’re going down. Finally when Microsoft had an OS that actually could run more than one application at once they now use that to extort some money out of you. The Windows 7 Starter Edition will not allow you to run more than three applications at the same time (virus scanners etc. not included). Whahahahaha what is wrong with those people from Redmond?
Surely this will also raise the price of netbooks once they are preinstalled with Windows 7. I thought that Vista sucks but this is really crap. How many more arguments do you need to start using Unix? Now please be aware that Microsoft claims the average user uses only two applications at the same time. Yeah right. I don’t know about you but during the day I’ll have around 10 to 15 applications open. Tssss… I wonder what’s next. Pay extra for using multiple USB storage sticks? Pay up when you connect a new mouse? This is pathetic.
This originally started as a post about two foxes happening to jump on a trampoline during a playful encounter and one of ‘m has an investigative mind. Than I started looking for more funny trampoline video’s. And then I came across a great video on funny cats. So this is just about funny animal video’s. Enjoy… or don’t. Whatever.
I saw this image of a hamas sympathizer holding up a sign saying “Death to all juice”. I wanted to know where the image was taken so I searched for “Death to all juice” and found the source of the image. It was taken in New York on Fifth Avenue on the 28th of december 2008 by RedSquirrel from Vigilant Squirrel Brigade. Clearly the protester meant “Jews” instead of “Juice”. I think this photo clearly demonstrates that blind hatred and lack of education go hand in hand. Only his stupidity is greater than his hatred of jews. You may hope that one day all people of the world will have at least some kind of education and the ability to think for themselves. Enlighten this fellow creature…
Har har har… you might think the IT industry at large may have learned a small lesson from the millennium bug (Y2K bug). Well most professionals probably did but Microsoft still manages to screw up bigtime. In this case the Zune 30GB version has a leap-year bug. It will not start up properly due to the bug. Fortunately there is a fix at hand… Just let it run out of battery capacity. Recharge the battery and start it after noon GMT and your Zune will be fine. You got to love those Microsoft products.
With the Zune you get the full Microsoft experience. Think of continues thrill and exitement the Zune is offering you… is it going to work or will it blow up in my face? It’s like rebooting after a blue screen of death… you’ll never know whether your system will successfully restart or not. Microsoft gives just that little more excitement…
Do you still feel comfortable with Microsoft products being used in nuclear submarines?… Happy New Year, enjoy it as long as it lasts.
Being an IT guy I’ve lived many years with the assumption that computer users are idiots. However I always put the blame on myself and put some extra effort in making some programs fool-proof (which is hard: no matter how smart you are… there is always a fool who does the unimaginable). Now I finally can stop the charade of improving programs beyond the level of reason. An experiment with pop-ups has clearly proven that computer users are idiots. Even a pop-up with the message “You are about to install Malware. Malware is bad. By reading this warning through the end and still clicking ‘Yes’ you’re failing the Windows Darwin Test..” did not prevent the user to click on the yes button. Mind you: the test subjects are college students… Here’s the full article.
