BBC Magazine – 100 Things We Learned This Year
Random list by the BBC of things we learned this year. Though there are links to the info, some I remain dubious about (admittedly not having clicked through).
(And yes I realize that “So random even I don’t know what it is” would imply that I shouldn’t tag this post with other bits, but I didn’t read the whole 100 list and I’m leaving myself some grey area.)
This has been all over the techblogs, and I’m repeating it here because it’s just so hot. I need this phone. Okay, I don’t. But playing with my girlfriend’s new celly made me more than dissatisfied with my SLVR (form factor aside). I almost picked up a SE w810i (or dropped real money on the k790a) or the Sammy d900 carbon (pfft, links, bah, google them you want to know so bad), but have been holding out hope that the iphone/imobile is all I will want in a phone (form factor included). Though playing with the Blackberry Pearl was nice, even though I don’t need a smart phone. (This Sammy I linked has HSDPA, which I would get a data plan for ASAP, even though I wouldn’t get one for a smart phone.).
If the Applephone sucks, I can always get something else. (And Apple had better release another standalone iSight camera damnit! And iTV better not suck, with the new fee structure, Tivo doesn’t look like it’s going to be renewed, unless it only costs $3-5 more to install it on my Comcast cablebox).
Google Operating System: How to Add Search to Google Reader
It’s Google for crissake! How they didn’t have search from jump (yes I understand there are technological hurdels) is beyond me….
This is great. I hide nothing from my loyal 4 readers. Heck, you can check. Some posts come up as female. Some as mail. Rest assured dear readers, all written by me. I’m not farming out my blogging to a team of bloggers, nosireebob.
400hp hybrid sports car for $35,000 – Geekologie
It doesn’t look nearly as good as the Tesla (mmmm, Lotus goodness…) but for 35k, I’d get this and not the Tesla. Of course the Tesla is 100% electric and this is a hybrid, but still….
New tattoo ink means “4ever” neednt be permanent – Engadget
I’m totally against this. Part of the allure of the tattoo is the permanence. And that should be part of the reason not to get one if you aren’t into it. And the permanence should be punishment for the idiots who get cartoon characters and whatnot.
