The Minority Report

The Minority Report…So Easy a Caveman Writes It

Your Cashier Was Gay

From the Spit My Milk Out Department (better known as the DailyWTF): “This is from a Kroger in Troy, MI,” wrote Mike. “Perhaps it’s proof that Kroger is not lying when they say they are an equal opportunity employer?” Sponsor Appreciation, Cabling Confusion, Dividend Bling, & More – The Daily WTF I love homo humor.

Influential Blog Scrapes Scraping Tips

Oh the irony… Still good tips though. Scraping RSS feeds or stealing entire websites is the bane of any webmaster. Unfortunately, there’s not an easy way to keep RSS feeds from being scraped or used. However, there are certain things you can do to make the scraped content work for you. … 1. Use absolute [...]

A Scrolling Mouse Wheel Gathers No Moss

This was worth stealin…I mean hat tipping. I’ve been using it already. I am setting my scroll speed as high as it will go so I can skim Google Reader, for example, much faster and then slow down on the stuff I want to read. Ever wanted to slow down the speed when using the [...]

Facebook Uses Gold Plated SANs

John Cook on TechFlash asks the question “Did Microsoft overpay for Facebook?” Good question. Calls into account a bunch of figures and possible valuations. However, notice that’s not what I clipped. Facebook has enough cash in the bank– about $200 million — to last for two years, VentureBeat’s Anthony Ha reports. Did Microsoft overpay for [...]

Hawking is a Big Faker

Looks like that sly dog Hawking was just faking… Physicist/mathematician Stephen Hawking has improved after spending the night at a hospital near his home in Cambridge, England, and the 67-year-old’s condition was described as “comfortable.” Hawking’s first wife, Jane, was quoted that she believed his illness was no longer life-threatening. A spokesperson for Cambridge University, [...]

iPhone Revolutionizes Mobile Industry…Again

Seems as if Dan Grigsby on Mobile Orchard is my source of iPhone news these days… (I have no idea why this chick came up on a search for iPhone images but I’m going with it…) Anyway, seems like a throw away line here as Dan is talking about the Undo and Redo API for [...]

Stephen Hawking Really Sick This Time

Stephen Hawking has three kids!??!? I knew he was married but I didn’t know he had kids!! Oh yeah…he’s sick. Leading scientist Stephen Hawking is “very ill” in hospital, his employer Cambridge University has said. A spokesman said Professor Hawking was undergoing tests at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. The spokesman said the 67-year-old, who has motor [...]

Apple AppStore Will Break Your Heart

Guest author Brian Stormon from Stormy Productions is guest blogging on Mobile Orchard with this information on how to keep your iPhone app from being rejected from the Apple AppStore. It’s a pretty insightful read and while I hit the titles, I suggest you visit and read up. I’ve been developing apps for the iPhone [...]

Wow. Tom Green spits it sick! (HT: SEO underWorld)

Your Mama Don’t Dance & Your SSD Don’t Rock & Roll

Martin on gHacks posts these tips to speed up your SSD drive. He’s totally right that SSD drives are going to be in all of our computers in another few years. They are basically working out the kinks now. For example, Microsoft Research Cambridge team recently published Migrating Server Storage to SSDs: Analysis of Tradeoffs [...]

Developing Pong for the iPhone

Somehow I don’t think it’s fair that this shitty blog is number one for iPhone game development on Google. So I found what looks to be a very comprehensive iPhone game development tutorial and as a bonus, if there is enough interest the blogger will create more tutorials. Looks like a pretty sweet deal to [...]

Other Blogs Dofollow Influential Blog

I found this clip browsing my statistics and am glad I’m not the only one that thinks this. Personally I am not sold on the fact that NoFollow really means Google, Yahoo or any other engine won’t follow the link. In fact, I may be just wishful in my thinking, but I believe many NoFollow [...]

NASA Treads Lightly

We’ve been covering the NASA Node 3 naming contest with our favorite being Serenity, after the ship on Firefly and the movie Serenity. Frankly, NASA had their back against the wall on this one and I think this was the only thing that is even close to fair. They named a treadmill after Stephen Colbert [...]

Mozilla Considers Eating Old

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it’s comforting to go to a website and see the familiar 2k/xp/2003/vista line that says the software you are downloading is going to run on the NT family of operating systems. On the other hand, Windows 2000 came out in 1999. That’s 10 years old [...]
