Wing, an elderly Asian woman, has taken it upon herself to cover the classics, from AC/DC to the Beatles to ABBA. To avoid having to sign up, check out the Top Ten and Wing’s Picks.
I think she truly captured the essence of “Back in Black”.
Check out Guimp: The World’s Smallest Website, a nice mash-up of classic games and microscopy. Pong becomes noticeably more difficult with a one-pixel wide ball and a three pixel long paddle.
And, if you’re at work, your boss probably won’t notice that you’re playing Pacman.
Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett will be playing Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic I’m Not There.
Weird.
In one of the strangest stories I’ve encountered in a while, a very daring author has written up his guide to curing asthma and hayfever using hookworm (a note to the extremely faint of heart, proceed with some caution; there are a few slightly disgusting parts of his tale).
It’s an interesting idea, although I’d prefer to hear some results like this from a more sanitary and controlled test. Condensing the treatment to some form of pill might also be a more convenient method than flying to Cameroon to walk around barefoot in natives’ excrement.
Someone has figured out how to utilize the MacBook’s built in Sudden Motion Sensor as a sort of “hot key”. A well-placed smack to the side of the screen triggers some action, in this instance switching between virtual desktops.
For the full effect, watch the video. For an even fuller effect, do what I did and watch the video seven or eight times.
This is probably the coolest hack I’ve seen in a while, and I might do it to my PowerBook soon.
Researchers in the UK and the US theorize that they will be able to make a Harry Potter invisibility cloak within the next two years.
I’m just confused why they decided to figure out how to make the disgustingly flavored jelly beans from Harry Potter before they worked on this.
Dell, attempting to copy Apple’s retail success, is opening up two brick-and-mortar storefronts in Dallas and New York shopping malls later this year. Notably, however, they will not carry any inventory. Some thoughts on why they will fail where Apple succeeded.
Dell, as a brand, doesn’t drive people to malls. People will not line up at 2AM to be the first into a new Dell Store. On a busy Monday before Christmas, Dell’s store will not draw more than a thousand visitors looking to go home with a late Christmas present and, even if it does, that’ll be a thousand disappointed customers when they realize that they can’t buy anything.
I personally think a better solution for Dell would be making computers that weren’t horrible.
