I’m glad I’m not a Facebook fan. I still don’t know why people allow this changes and continue to use such faulty product. Making your own blog is not that hard. Connecting with people via other instant messengers is easy. But instead people choose to continue to use it…

Interesting that a small accident makes this guy want to move everything to the cloud. To me he had a perfect setup. Instead he is going to trust someone else with everything. Yes his company depends on his servers. So why pass the bucket? Because he can blame someone else if something goes wrong. False sense of security that big companies will take care of him or compensate him if something happens. Because big companies love to take care of little people… Once they start forcing changes down his throat I would like to see if he thinks it was a good decision.

Idiot tax is becoming more and more popular. And since there are so many I bet this will take off and become a new norm. If you don’t know about MAME and other emulators and how to retrofit or build an arcade you do not deserve your own. Their website try to lure you into it with this pic. Sure an arcade might lure some ugly chicks in skimpy clothes to your creepy basement… If you have hit that far bottom just directly pay the $75 to a prostitute, save you a lot of hassle.

As expected all part of the master plan to spam you more but it is Google approved SPAM so it is not as bad as regular SPAM. Happy to be using RoundCube now to check my Gmail. If you don’t want a web client then I recommend Thunderbird. If you are a computer guy there is no reason you should deal with this. Hurry up and setup a Linux postfix email server and take control of your data!

I haven’t used my TVs for anything other than displays/monitors for the past 12 years. Maybe I will try this and confirm that cable/antenna’s are worthless. Why follow someone else schedules, have commercials etc instead of watching what you want on-demand?

With this you should be able to realize that Ubuntu is no longer Linux. It stopped been Linux and became a company no different than apple or Microsoft the day they stopped listening to the majority of their user base to follow the goals of the people in the high ranking company positions.

Was about to eat a Snickers bar after reading some article about sugar. So I was curious to see the sugar content of the candy bar. That’s when I noticed they cleverly put all that information in the seam where it is not visible at all unless you unfold it in the opposite direction. It is a candy bar! They are not healthy and there is no reason to hide that! People are already fat and too weak will power to stop them from eating it anyways so don’t hide it. Proudly advertise it to the world, they will still eat it:

I used to send emails to a few friends with the subject “Doomed Humanity” when I found articles that I believe are somewhat big steps in human beings de-evolving into some other species. This article is one of them.
Videogames now sport and gamers now world athletes… humanity takes another death blow
In case shutting down reader and also changing all your navigation tools was not enough Google decided you need more tabs in your inbox. The good news is it allowed me to explore alternatives and now I have installed and configured Roundcube to check and access my Gmail.
Replace the fear of loosing your key with the fear of some company having access to your house. Of course I’m paranoid… big companies never screw the little people…

Pretty cool, if they maintained a LEGO texture pack which was up to date I bet lot of people would be happy
I think a bike is only useful if it carries you more than you carry it. That said you never know when you might go riding with a crazy friend that adds a 15 mile hike to the ride.

Decided to start my own site in my own server since even Google now loves to dictate what you can and can not have.
Suppose you really need to put people in their place? Consult the great works of science fiction and fantasy! You need a lot of imagination to concoct a truly bracing put-down, so it’s probably not surprising that speculative fiction writers cook up the best burns. Here are 20 great insults from SF and fantasy novels.
