The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Errr... kind of.

CNN in celebrity worship shocker

Oh how far we've come

The most incredible tech demo I've ever seen.

This just blows me away.

Tetris with people

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

Rubens Tube

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.
