Way cool. Does anyone know how this can affect the body?
I thought this comment on Engadget was hilaaaaaaaaarious:
“if this bed flips while you are sleeping, the opposite poles will attract with a slam and crush you.”
I was flipping through .NET magazine in ASDA this morning, waiting for some photos to be developed. In the magazine, there was an article about a web technology called Ruby On Rails (ROR).
Anyway i’ve taken a keen interest on ROR so decided to read it. It was how to get started with it and how to use it for developing..etc..Towards the end of the article there was a little section saying which sites already use ROR. They had 10. The first one was A List Apart, which in my opinion is the best looking site on the Internet. Then next to that was another site that uses ROR called Spread Reading. “Cool”I thought, i must check it oot. So, what is Spread Reading? (get ready for a wank, mason)
Do you like reading, and talking about books? Do you like surprises?
We like both. Spread is our version of a book club. Each month, we will choose a few members at random and buy them a book. They can come back here, and discuss the book. The only thing we ask is that when they are finished with the book they pass it on to another person. It’s like a book club without the deadlines or cookies or weekly meetings.
I’ve just signed up it’s still a very small community
Somebody ‘customised’ a Pomeranian dog so it looks like the Firefox fox. Damn cute, if a bit snide.
Looks like the internet race to see who can be the first to dual boot Windows on a Mac has actually inspired/pushed Apple to create a product which actually allows you to do this without following the instructions provided by the original bounty winners.
The announcement was made by Apple before the markets opened which pushed their share price up immediately by around 5.5% (9.87% at the close of trade). You have to note that this is almost instantaneous (1 or 2 minutes) so if you wanted to make that kind of short-term return of the news you either had to own shares yesterday or have been lightning fast in executing the order at the open of trade.
Well we had Google Gulp, Google Moon Lunar Jobs, Google PigeonRank and Google MentalPlex. Well, today we have Google Romance.
Google Romance is a place where you can post all types of romantic information and, using our Soulmate Search™, see search results that could, in theory, include the love of your life. Then we’ll send you both on a Contextual DateTM, which we’ll pay for while delivering to you relevant ads that we and our advertising partners think will help produce the dating results you’re looking for.
Read the FAQs, they’re amazing. Don’t they have proper jobs to do over at the GooglePlex?
On a side not, I found the Google Map of the moon while searching for the Lunar Jobs
Came across an article titled “Web designers still failing disabled people” in this week’s Technology Guardian. It tells us about a law that just has been passed called PAS 78 and also that:
Making websites accessible is a legal requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), and service providers must ensure that disabled people can use their sites. This position was clarified by the DRC in 2002.
It also states how 80% of websites surveyed failed to meet the requirements, and also mentions how 2 companies have been prosecuted. Interesting read if your up for it. (link up at the top) 
Newsvine is the new community-wiki news site, it incorporates world-wide AP stories with individual comments, contributions and other stuff that’s cool.
Loads of people have quality specialist columns about anything and everything, there’s so much more as well, have a look, could be big.

Please go and give comments. I’m now looking for my next game to go at…I have a list of about 5 so far, I just need to decide what to go for.
Right, please open the link below in Internet Explorer (ugh, I know) and position the window so it looks like this image:
These should be C3’s dimensions for showing the article.
Now, read, look and let me have it, BOTH OF YOU PLEASE. I want criticisms so that I can respond to justify or correct them. I’m talking style, both writing and image wise, the choice of images, amount of writing, whether parts bore you, etc., etc.. This isn’t the final version as I may have more info. to put in later and I’ve not posted it in the staff forum yet as I want criticism from my expert proofreaders - Vikki’s already had a look and likes it.
Seriously, let me have it.
sorry, but it think it’s too cluttered and shit 
need to talk to youguys late on aboot a posibble degree change :S (don’t worry it’s not a HUGE change)
im in my CSS mood, and got loads of free icons in png format. bloody loving it. except one browser doesn’t support it. png is a replacement to the copyrighted gif format. it has other benefits such as alpha transparencies, so you can change the colour scheme of your site and the transparent bits of the png will change too gracefully. 
but…well let’s quote from an article in A List Apart : For People Who Make Websites.
So What About Browser Support?
By now, of course, we’d all be up to our ears in PNGs if browsers supported them reliably. But seven years after the format’s inception, you still can’t slap a PNG onto a web page like you can a GIF or JPG. It’s disgraceful, but not as bad as it sounds.
It turns out that most of the latest versions of the major browsers fully support alpha transparency with PNG – namely, Netscape 6, Opera 6, and recently-released Mozilla 1, all on Windows; and, for the Mac, Internet Explorer 5, Netscape 6, Opera 5, Mozilla 1, OmniWeb 3.1, and ICab 1.9. Incredibly, PNG even works on Opera 6 for Linux, on WebTV, and on Sega Dreamcast.
Now, what’s missing from that list?
IE5.5+/Win, bless its heart, will, in fact, display a PNG, but it doesn’t natively support alpha transparency. In IE5.5+/Win, the transparent area of your PNG will display at 100% opacity – that is, it won’t be transparent at all.
Bugger.
Bloody JavaScript is needed to make it show on IE…:P
Also slagging off IE…some guy on our forum posted a little thing about IE7. As i was expecting it’s a Firefox rip off. it even uses the same shortcut keys as firefox! grr
anyway that’s my slagging off IE finished.
I’m getting that MP3 player for my birthday. Offered to pay a load of money towards it (I think it’s way too expensive for a birthday really, even with discount), but dunno what’s happening with that yet. £169 with discount - that’s like 80 quid off, class!
HAPPY EID YOU GUYS!
I’ll have some of that.
£250 on my mum and dad’s work site, which means with discount could probably get it for £160 (hopefully). Might ask for it for my birthday. It’s a step-up from the one I was loving a couple of years ago, when Sy was wanking over the iPod (fucking hell, that long ago now?).
What do you guys reckon?
The Revoooo post seems to be stuck at 7 comments (at least on my computer), and isn’t displaying anymore comments I try to post.
Ideas?
Found this point and click adventure game. it’s pretty nice. can be a bit slow, and the reward at the end of the game isn’t too grrreat. but it’s brilliant walking round the offices with a PDA on you being contacted by the employees with video chat. make sure you look around the room you’re in carefully before you leeeave.
