Whatever. Earlier this year the Linux Foundation launched a competition for budding writers, film makers and just general Linux enthusiasts to make their own grassroots advertisement to compete with Apple’s highly-successful “I’m a Mac” series of adverts. The winner has now been announced. iTWire — He’s a Mac, he’s a PC, but we’re Linux This [...]
Long time readers of The Minority Report…hahahahahahahah…whew. I never get tired of that one. Anyway, long time readers of this blog know (Free Roomba Attracts Cheap Bastards) that I’m totally addicted to my stats and find interesting stuff while browsing them minutely (is that a word?). Today, I found that after all my hard work, [...]
I don’t use Facebook but I’ve had fun covering the various Facebook headlines here (here, here and here) on the best damned blog anywhere, The Minority Report. Facebook users have lower overall grades than non-users, according to a survey of college students who also ironically said the social networking site does not interfere with studying. [...]
Amazing how much you find about yourself perusing the web randomly. I find out that I have NADD and now this. Explains why my computers were apart, in pieces on the floor, for much of the last two weeks. You know that feeling when you are sitting on the floor by the dusty disassembled guts [...]
Goldman Sachs has money to sue bloggers? The bank has instructed Wall Street law firm Chadbourne & Parke to pursue blogger Mike Morgan, warning him in a recent cease-and-desist letter that he may face legal action if he does not close down his website. Florida-based Mr Morgan began a blog entitled “Facts about Goldman Sachs” [...]
I blogged the other day about the newest game sweeping the nation, Rock, Paper, Scissors, Spock, Lizard. It was seen on The Big Bang Theory, a great show on CBS, Mondays @8:00pm. For nerds and geeks, I think it should be required viewing. Anyway, I got lost on a tangent regarding Kaley Cuoco (Penny), one [...]
I read every single post that the Engineering Windows 7 blog puts out there. I think that Microsoft couldn’t have picked a better individual then the former Office head, Steven Sindofsky. I think it’s obvious that he and his team are on the ball and that Windows 7 is going to be one of the [...]
Google Image Search just keeps getting better. Searching by color?? Cool. We covered the Google Image Search imagesize search option in late January and here it is 3 months later and another excellent hack. Anyone know the HTML hex code for nude? The option that lets you filter images by the predominant color has been [...]
David Leonhardt, another genius SEO/Internet marketer, posted this discussion on his blog, SEO Marketing Express, today. How many of the following coding elements would you have known if you had not seen them here: The “abbr” tag The “acronym” tag The “address” tag The “base” tag The “bdo” tag Exactly. These are all HTML 4 [...]
Yes, yes, I’m being completely lazy and just clipping the whole post. Sue me. I doubt that Owen is going to mind that we are getting the word out about Dapple. I personally hope that he sells a million of these things and retires in Tahiti with dark island girls feeding him grapes, mangoes or [...]
Looks like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is done this Friday. I watched it for a while until it conflicted with something else (I think Big Bang Theory) and it was fairly good. I haven’t watch it in a while so I don’t know what’s going on but I don’t want it canceled. Regardless, it’s [...]
Dan Grigsby over at the Mobile Orchard asks this question today: when do you start building apps (for your iPhone) that rely on capabilities of the new iPhone 3.0 OS? When do you start building apps that rely on capabilities in 3.0? … At first blush, it looks like an easy question to answer: build [...]
It seems that the Jacksonville Florida Search engine optimization goddess, SEOAly, is back from IM Spring Break. She promised us cookies and she didn’t disappoint. I’m sure we can all expect a great report on her blog of all the excitement but here is the recipe for SEOAly chip cookies: I’ve had a couple people [...]
I totally did it for the headline. It’s a clone version of the Image Resizer Powertoy that supports Vista and 64bit but I just couldn’t help myself. The original Image resizer powertoy came at least from 2002 and I just wanted to yank at The How-To Geeks chain a bit. The Image Resizer Powertoy Clone [...]
Yes…I have NADD (Nerd Attention Deficit Disorder, so let me apologize up front that I’m currently fixated on the topic of free roomba’s. I’m not going to set the whole thing up again, so if you want to see how this started, click on Free Roomba Attracts Cheap Bastards to get most of the story. [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
