I scored an 8.82. Clearly this site knows what it’s talking about.
Seems NBC and SNL creator Lorne Michaels want to start a streaming video site that will feature only SNL content. Schmitt’s Gay, The Rapists for 500 and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin, all in one place. No wonder it’s so chilly. Hell froze over!
When Wolfenstein 3-D and Flickr wanted to get married, I gave them my best wishes. Just kidding, software and photo sharing sites can’t get married, silly. They can, however, be fused. Thanks to some anonymous geek with Javascript skills, this mashup of the popular FPS shooter game and photo sharing site takes the best from both and allows users to see their pictures hanging in the galleries of the Third Reich. That’s actually kind of creepy, now that I think about it.
It’s simple to use: just enter your Flickr username and let the app collect your photos. It then maps them on to the walls of a 3-D maze resembling Castle Wolfenstein. Awesome concept but it performs rather sluggishly when high res photos are taken into account, or if you just have a slow computer. Hey, it beats having Nazi propaganda on the walls.
Barack Obama is all about spreading the word of hope. His counterparts would like you to think otherwise, as can be seen by a recent hacking of Obama’s very own Hope.net. The hacker smeared the site with red lettering which says “Spread the word! Barack Obama has no security on his web site! Will his administration have no security?”, later editing the text to read “To the media! Stop saying Clinton hacked Obama. They want nothing to do with this. You spread lies.”
I’m not sure whether this was a legitimate hack or not, since removing the “www” from Hope.net will take you to the normal appearance of the website (Editor’s Note: Or at least it did, seems the standard Hope.net page is now redirected to the www version), though the addition of the www still takes you to the defaced version of the site. If so, is this a prank from one of the Nutcracker’s supporters, as the links clearly point towards Hillary’s website? — Andrew Dobrow
The Japanese are ingenious, they’re bringing the simple technology from banks directly to your room. I’m sure you’ve seen under-table emergency buttons in banks, some are pressed with the fingers, and some with the foot. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to turn off all your embarrassing and personal pursuit on screen as soon as somebody pops up behind your back? May it be your mom, your co-workers in office or your significant other. Well, a Japanese company developed this emergency button to place under your computer table and that you can step on, to bring you back to a pre-assigned minimized screen, for example MS Word. Of course, your computer must be fast enough to respond, so you still have to think twice before browsing sites heavily loaded with graphics and videos. The emergency switch costs $26. –Sam Chan
