“Windmills are Ugly”

No they aren’t. They’re sleek, they look high-tech, and they’re cool. They look like freakin’ Apple products! Anyone with any sense likes the way iPods, iMacs, and the like looks. If you don’t, what the *beep* is wrong with you?
If you don’t like the way wind turbines look, then don’t look at them. You can […]

“Windmills Kill Birds?” Take a Look at These Statistics…

Approx. 1 bird is killed yearly by each of the U.K.’s wind turbines.
Of the annual bird casualties in the United States, 57 million are from cars, and 97.5 million from hitting plate glass windows.

And besides, couldn’t you just fit cages to the windmills, in a similar manner to household fans, to prevent the birds from […]

Have You Read Facebook’s Terms of Service?

Have you read Facebook’s terms of service? Here is one particularly worrying bit (and I’m sure there is a similar part of the MySpace ToS):

They Must Really Want to Get Rid of Those Zunes…

Microsoft must really want to get rid of all those Zunes (screenshot from Hotmail promotional email):

Hulu: The Pretender

I’ve been watching a lot of videos on Hulu lately (in between Netflix movies). I’ll probably write-up a review of the service sometime in the future, but in the meantime, I’d like to share what I’ve been watching…

I remember The Pretender from when it was still on, but not many details as I was fairly […]

Weekly WTH February 2, 2007

The MacBook Air is a totally amazing computer. Not only is it small, it’s feature set is amazing. Look at this comparision.
“Over the past decade it has become increasingly obvious that countless web users are misrepresenting themselves by typing LOL (or “lolling” as it has come to be called) when they are NOT actually laughing […]

MySQL: SELECT Only When Needed

Wise words:
“SELECT only what you need. Even though databases fetch data blindingly fast, you should still try to reduce the load on the database by only selecting that data which you need to use. If you need to count the number of rows in a table don’t SELECT * FROM, because all the data in […]

WSJ’s Walt Mossberg Reviews the MacBook Air

Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg sums-up the MacBook air: “If you value thinness, and a large screen and keyboard in a subnotebook, and don’t watch DVDs on planes or require spare batteries, the MacBook Air might be just the ticket. But if you rely on spare batteries, expect the usual array of ports, or like […]

BSOD Generator

I just found this Blue Screen of Death Generator. It’s funny, put it’s probably a good idea to crop-out the URL shown at the bottom of the image (otherwise people will instantly know it’s a fake, and that’s no fun, is it?).

Hilarious New Apple Ad on New York Times Website

Okay, after this, I promise I won’t post another Apple ad (for a few days, anyway). :D
This ad was spotted on NYTimes.com. A static screencap has made it on Digg, but the YouTube video is much better.
