Skype Rolling Out “Phone Booths”
Imagine being able to hop into a booth like Superman and “call” up your wife and kids, or some friends via Skype. That’s the plan they have in store for you. Just launched is the first of its kind in Estonia’s Tallinn Airport. You can now connect to all your Skype buddies via this wonderful device. [...]
Man Offers $1000 To Restore His WoW account
Those World of Warcraft players can get pretty fanatical, but this is one of the more extreme cases I’ve seen. Granted there are quite a few freak outs on YouTube. Apprently one guy loves his character so much that after having his account banned he posted this on Craigslist. “I got my WoW account banned [...]
How Much Do You Love Your Search Engine?
There are many products and brands that I am a devotee of, and I’ll admit Google is certainly one of them. But I’m not so sure I would ever love a company so much as to permanetly “ink” them on my person. I mean, does this girl not realize that in 10-15 years or however [...]
Buffering…
Looks like someone has gotten a little frustrated over the constant “buffering” over at YouTube. So much so that they felt the need to head over to their main headquarters and make a mockery of them. At least this makes a statement and hopefully they’ll get the point. It’s problems like these that frustrate users. [...]

Egypt’s Internet Still Shut Off
As of noon on Friday the “government” of Egypt effectively switched off all internet connections in and out of country. Currently all connections still remain down. President Hosni Mubarak also ordered the shut down of mobile phone networks, including one run by Vodafone, all in an effort to undermine the growing protests over Mubarak’s rule of the country. While the world [...]
Thomas Edison’s 2011 Predictions From 1911
Way back in 1911 the ever inventful Thomas Edison was asked by the Miami Metropolis what the world would be like in 100 years. That was on June 23rd, 1911. From golden taxis to books printed on nickel, some of his theories were spot on and some where quite far fetched. He accurately stated that [...]
They Call it Baby Man Yellow.
Sometimes things just work out perfectly. That’s what I thought as I sat down with my buddies Alexia and Janine for a cookie on Friday. Once I was done it was smoke time. And the pack of cigs had the exact same color tone as Alexia’s finger nail polish. And the same color as Babby [...]
