Watch Star Trek and MacGyver Online, From Europe
The American network CBS is remarkably with the times when it comes to putting TV shows on their website for free ad-supported. Alas, the online service is available only to Americans. That is, unless you use Firefox armed with FoxyProxy configured to view websites through a free US proxy (here’s a list of free proxies). [...]
Why iTunes Really Really Sucks, Part 2
It’s been a while since I happily flamed and subsequently ditched iTunes in favor of Floola for adding stuff to my otherwise beloved iPod Shuffle 2G. Alas, Floola — while able to add stuff to the iPod — is neither able to update it nor _not crash intermittently_. So I decided to try iTunes one last time. I shouldn’t have, because I was reminded how much iTunes on Windows absolutely fucking sucks.
Kung Fu Panda Mini-Review
Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.
While the noodle-slinging panda Po dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master, an evil tiger escapes from a prison. The escape urges the summoning of the next Dragon Warrior to protect the valley. Accidentally (or was it?), the panda ends up the nominee.
Kung Fu Panda is gorgeous and hilarious. It’s deliciously produced and impressively crafted [...]
Hancock Mini-Review
Reviews are spoilerfree but beware of comments.
Hancock is a drunken, superpowered non-hero who feels a calling to help people but never manages to do so without wreaking his own havoc. Eventually he meets Ray, an idealistic PR guy who makes it his mission to turn around Hancocks image.
Hancock is an extremely odd movie. It tries to combine braindead superhero action [...]
No Redesign Today
I know I promised the ether that I’d publish a Noscope redesign today. And here it is; white squares on what is currently a grayish background in a fixed-width single column left-aligned design.
No WWW After All
Cabel writes: Japan: URL’s are totally out. His photographic evidence is compelling. Reading it, I was reminded that I was still clinging to the www part of my web address; my prime argument was that the www is integral in saying “this is a website”. No more. If simple search keywords are the next big [...]
No Shop, Yes Posters
It’s grand opening day at my very first real webshop. So far, it’s entitled No Shop, but what it should really be called is _me plotting posters on art canvas, packing it and sending it off to you_. Because that’s what it is.
It’s A Deskvu
Resident digital life refurbishing outlet, Deskvu, or in humanspeak: website holding wallpapers, has been updated. There’s a refreshed layout, an updated frontpage and most interestingly: an option for you to submit your own wallpapers. Woohoo! Let’s see what happens to that. Unchanged is the amount of wallpapers there, or the features to instantly crop any [...]
The Ethics of Human Teleportation
Sure, Star Trek-style teleportation seems like the next big thing. Sure we could _go on vacation in July_ just by stepping on to a transporter pad and be instantly moved from A to B; B probably being _Acapulco_ or somewhere really nice. Off the bat we would love it, but have you ever pondered the moral and ethical implications of teleportation?
How To Get Rid Of Your Gmail Invites Box [Update]
Back in the day, invitations to Gmail were so scarce and popular that people would pay for them. Today, the Gmail invite window is just a nuisance. As it turns out, if you wish to be rid of said framed box, simply give away all your invites. Personally, I just invited myself 100 times over; [...]
