One charger for new generation smartphones
avinashws:
A new generation of smartphones capable of using the same charger - from manufacturers including Apple, Nokia and RIM - will begin appearing in the new year, following the release of European technical standards. The standards, based on Micro-USB, have been welcomed today by the European Commission, which says they will be a boon for consumers and the environment.

I Feel Horrible
My entire body is weak, I have no strength to do anything, and my core temperature changes every five minutes. To make matters worse, it hurts my eyes to look at my monitor. I should probably get off of here then.

I actually enjoy doing dishes. Form an orderly single file line, ladies.

53rd Annual Grammy Awards
If Hans Zimmer doesn’t win “Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media” with his soundtrack for Inception, I’ll go into limbo.

If I Was Still In High School
I’d tell Truett Chambers to fuck off. I remembered last night that I’ve never had such little respect for someone.

Walgreens
It’s like the Room of Requirement.
I usually go there when I need a few things and I’m too lazy to go to Walmart. But when I walk in, they damn well better have exactly what I’m looking for.

Did Lost Steal from Terminator 3?
I was watching a time-lapse video on YouTube of the lunar eclipse and there was a song playing in the background that sounded very familiar. I knew it was from Lost so I looked in the video description. Sure enough there was a link to the song which can be found here, but to my surprise it wasn’t from Lost. Listen for about 30 seconds and pay close attention to the strings.
I knew something...

UPS Is Amazing
Customer satisfaction earns lifelong customers and UPS earned my loyalty a long time ago. It just so happens they’ve impressed me again.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, my graphics card died and I had to order a new one. While I was at it, I decided to go ahead and upgrade a few other parts so I ordered a case, motherboard, and processor in addition to the graphics card.
I confirmed the...

U.K. Porn Block
I’m not a citizen of the United Kingdom, but I dread the day that similar legislation is passed in the U.S.
“Conservative British lawmakers want Internet service providers to automatically block customers’ access to pornography websites.”
Yes, the government now wants to control what their citizens can and cannot watch.

The Federal Communications Commission
Needs to be abolished.
Three unelected officials in the FCC approved net neutrality rules that gives the commission authority over Internet service providers about how they are managing their networks. The FCC can also initiate their own investigations if they think ISPs are violating its rules.
As if I didn’t already hate the FCC enough, now they are messing with net neutrality in an...

Video Card
Unfortunately, the video card in my computer is no longer working. Technically, it is still functioning but there are purple screen tears all across my monitor.
So the question now is, do I replace it with another video card so that my resolution remains 1680x1050 or do I use my on-board graphics which will display in 1280x1024?
It sounds a little ridiculous, but I really want 1680x1050. At the...

Chrome for a Cause →
I think one of the most important aspects for a charity to be successful is making it easy and fun for people to participate.
Google executed this perfectly yesterday when they started Chrome for a Cause. All you have to do is install a Chrome extension and carry on with your day as you normally would. As you use Chrome, the extension accumulates the number of tabs that are opened throughout the...

Dominant Eye
All my life I thought I was right eye dominant and I’m not. That means that every time I’ve shot a bow or gun, I’ve been holding it on the wrong side. Obviously my natural tendency is to hold it on my right side since I’m right handed, but I should be adjusting to accommodate my dominant eye.
Determine your dominant eye here.
