  • Best Site Evar

    I’ll let you guys in on a secret. One of my fave sites in the world is thebestlegaladvice dot com.

    I know, I know, it sounds weird, but where other site can you study the very strange hairdo of Flock of Seagulls lead singer Mike Score?

  • Girl fired via text

    A yawner of a news article From Yahoo:

    LONDON (AFP) – A company has defended its decision to sack one of its staff by text message, claiming it was keeping in touch with youth culture. Katy Tanner, a 21-year-old sales assistant, received the message while she was off work with a migraine, the South Wales Echo newspaper said Friday.

    The text message said: “We will not require your services anymore…Thank you for your time with us.

    “I don’t think it’s right to just text someone. At least they should have talked to me face to face,” Tanner said.

    From the looks of it, it’s more likely she’s peeved because she was fired, and not necessarily that she was fired via text. I mean, what if she was promoted instead? Would she have felt it was inappropriate then?

  • Bionic Bio Page By Bioman

    Just made a bio area at the sidebar, and am making this post so that I’d have a page where people can leave comments on. Decided to name it that way just to see how many times I can say ‘bio’ in the title, without resorting to ‘biology’, which I don’t like because I almost flunked it in High School. I mean, who flunks in high school?? (more…)

  • Pure Shmure

    I know these are harsh words, but trust me when I say I’ve tried not to say them. Here it is: I do not recommend the 02 XDA Atom Pure.

    I’ve had it for longer than two weeks, and as of yet I’ve not had it provide any level of reliability or usability.

    I’ve had the black one too, and I wrote about it back in May. Results were almost similar, except that was even worse as it was slow. This white one, nicknamed ‘Pure‘, a limited edition version with a firmware update (as I understood it) and a replacement to the black one when I told them about my problems with it, is a lot faster but nonetheless – and I really hate to say this – useless.

  • Belkin Appoints Microwarehouse

    Attended the fashion show / launch event today at Shangrila Makati. Belkin is the world-famous iPod accessory manufacturer, but they’d be the first to point out they also manufacture other stuff like input devices, wifi routers (which will incidentally compete with Microwarehouse’s Linksys products), and the one that caught my eye, pretty KVM switches. That’s right. No longer will sysads have to contend with dreary, gray monotone KVM boxes. Merely buy these and they can release their inner interior decorator.

    At any rate, here’re a few pics of their more famous products, plus you can download the press kit and prices after the jump.

  • Ability wha?

    From Pinoytechblog: ICAP chooses Ability Office. I first read about it or Bernie Janda’s blog here.

    The reaction from PTB has been expectedly fierce, saying in effect that ICAP was out of its mind to choose that in lieu of Openoffice, and hinting at under the table arrangements.

    However, I’d like to ask a few things first:

  • Suing Microsoft – A good investment?

    In this article Californians to soon get $1.1 bln from Microsoft, it says:

    Beginning in August, Californians who have filed claims will receive vouchers that can be redeemed for cash during the next four years, said Richard Grossman, whose law firm represented plaintiffs in the class-action case..

  • Yet Another Photoshop Contest

    Ladies and gents, here’s the winner of the Bestweekever.tv Matthew Mcconaughey Photoshop contest, where an image of him working out at the beach was mangled enhanced, for our viewing pleasure (certainly not his viewing pleasure I’m sure).

    Actually, I was voting for this: (more…)
