Tetris with people

So funny. We need quality programs like this in the UK :-)

Physics can be fun. This would make for one hell of a stage show!

Microsoft threatens its Most Valuable Professional (theregister.co.uk)

A bit of a slip up there, Microsoft awards someone for writing a utility that improves their development software, then writes them a series of threatening letters because they think it's hurting their business.

Just another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing I hope, though withdrawing a new award seems to indicate that both hands are now in sync and they've decided to go with the nasty one.

It's always frustrating when someone puts in their own time and hard work to do something that's useful for many people and get bullied into retracting it.

If we didn't have proprietary software, where would the innovation come from? People like this who are being stifled by proprietary software vendors, that's where.

Al Gore on The Daily Show

Just think how different the USA might be today if this man was leading them. I still find it hard to believe that the race was so close despite the candidates being so... errr... different.

If the same election was carried out today I have a suspicion that Gore would walk away with it.



Part 2:

Perry Bible Fellowship

The Perry Bible Fellowship is a great webcomic, with a very twisted sense of humour. Normally the comedy comes from the unexpected pain of one of the strip's subjects.

This one, however, is a little more direct and not quite as tragic. Well... kind of.

Eight year old rock god.

Bloody hell, he's not even watching the screen for half of it.

Nintendo DS is a target for child molestors

Top quality scaremongering from Fox News. Obviously you should always be completely terrified of the child molesters that are stalking your kids 24-7.

They even go so far as to insinuate that child molesters might be cruising the highways, DS on their laps, just waiting for a pictochatting kid to pass them so they can follow and pounce.

So much more dangerous than, say, playing in the park or walking home from school.
Next week on Fox:
"Did you know that the air can transmit sound vibrations over distances of 300 meters? The child molesters do! Keep your kids safe from regions where air can be found."

Breakdancing... with a difference.

You will laugh. You will feel guilty for laughing. You will laugh some more.

I guarantee it.

(Incidentally, the original is quite sad)

Vista Speech Recognition

This is actually a pretty impressive display by Vista, but it's also pretty funny as the frustration starts to build.
