I just heard an interesting advert on the radio from BT, saying “if a conversation is worth having – use your BT landline”. Sounds like BT are feeling a bit left out in the cold while most people these days favour the ease of mobile phones rather than be tied to one fixed line.
Plus at £38 a month is a bit steep for a fixed line…
New viral adverts, promoting Microsoft’s latest browser IE8 are actually a little bit funny.
At first i thought it was going to be another Seinfaild, but this one actually made me snigger:
I think it’s the act of making it look like it’s been poorly edited which got me.
There has been so many posts around the internet about Michael Jackon’s death that it actually made the internet dip into a grave of 404’s, 504’s and even 509’s. One site affected in particular was, google news due to an extraordinary amount of search requests for “michael jackson” – the server thought it was a virus or DOS attack so it shutdown temporarily. The server was repaired within the hour.
But that’s not what I’m talking about. Michael Jackson was certainly a hero to many, as there were so many people with & against him during his lawsuit cases – but now the internet is overwhelmed with RIP notices and “oh he was so great” this that and the other.
It seems to me that his death was so sudden for people that they’ve automatically let go of previous feelings (or gained new ones). I dunno. I think many people thought (and have even said) that he’s a “weirdo” and laughed and scoffed at his return to the stage. Now these people are jumping on the RIP bandwagon and are up voicing their opinions (again) about him. Somewhat of a hypocrisy there.
The only thing i have to say about Jackson is “Sorry, I feel I’m apart of piracy because I once bought a cassingle from a store and they accidentally put your full album in the cassette case”. Plus, “Your death was the only news on this morning’s radio news and googling binging the legitimacy of the news i happened to miss the weather report. Thanks a lot.”
RIP wacko jacko

This is absurd?!
The other day in “hicksville” Whangarei, (near Auckland, New Zealand) – South African zookeeper Dalu Mncube was mauled to death in the white tiger’s liar.
Two (zoo)keepers went in to clean the white tiger enclosure when the animal attacked one of the keepers.
Mncube suffered injuries to the abdomen and lower leg which involved “tearing” by the tiger.
Ms Kennett said that, despite the best efforts of the other keeper, the tiger wouldn’t let go. Mncube died at the scene before an ambulance arrived at the park.
The tiger has since been shot dead.

Seriously, why kill the wild animal when it was only protecting it’s territory? Would you kill a man if he defended his property?
The only reason I can think they killed the tiger is because it has now tasted human blood? They should release the tiger from whence he came! (And that’s how Buster lost his hand).
Swine flu is the media’s new big sell.
Bird flu, SARs, Chinese Flu, Modified Influenza. These are all pretty much the same thing.
They are variations of the Influenza virus, simply known as The Flu.
In some rare cases (especially in deprived countries such as Mexico where the virus originated), people have died.
Medical advisers have issued a statement asking people who have come down with flu-like symptoms, to stay at home, drink water and take flu tablets. If the symptoms persist, see your doctor.
Pretty much the same as any common sickness.
Let’s not waste our time debating the affects, social implications, ask Hollywood’s actors what their thoughts are, or even blame-war Mexicans. Let’s just move on from this one quickly.
The media loves things like this as it is a source of income for them. If they can get a headline to scare you into buying “information” – then they’ll draw it out as long as they can. Even if the content is nothing more than a headache and runny nose.
In fact this reminds me of a great South Park episode (S07E07):
Apparently the North and South Island are not the official names of New Zealand’s two islands.
When Captain Cook was surveying the land in the 1700’s, the names they used were “Aeheinomouwe” for the North and “Tovypoenammu” for the South.
Both names are not correct in the Maori dictionary, and were probably misspelled by Cook’s penman.
I just had a thought of an application enhancer or even widget/application where an application (such as Safari – something that you use a lot) displays a visual clue of how long you’ve had the application open for, or how long the system has been up for.
My thoughts were having a skin over Safari.. First the browser starts off grey as normal, then slowly gathers sand. After time, it starts to grow grass and have animals walk around on it.. Then grow tree’s and eventually a jungle. When you move the browser around the screen it would simulate physics/gravity and sway the trees/grass and move the animals around.
Could actually be very horrible – but the thought of a beautifully masked app using physics to sway trees would be pretty sweet.
