Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not - for my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life greets it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us, and binds us. Luminescent beings are we, not this crude matter! You must feel the Force around you, everywhere.
Meeeeeeh.
This is a beauty:
In 1918, this was found scribbled on a wall:
Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.
I am a Communist, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can’t stop us all… after all, we’re all alike, and reside in the Castle of aaaaaagggh…
With regard to the rumour-mongering going on about how Apple is switching to Intel processors, this is the funniest take on it I’ve seen:
This is hilarious, it’s like Apple has a performance persecution complex. The one time they decide to switch processors, instead of going with the performance king (AMD), they go with intel. Priceless.– OSNews comments
I go away on vacation for a few days, and all hell breaks loose — Ken and Jorge have paid good money for the Opera web browser. I can’t begin to fathom the atttraction this thing has to offer. Just check this out, I found this image on the front page of the Opera website just now (click for the larger, scarier image):
People have said many things before, like “It doesn’t matter what their skin colour is, they’re still people, and you should look beyond all that and see the person inside”. But… what does one say in a situation like this? “Look beyond the freaky weirdo costume and cape, and see the browser inside”
I’m sorry, but I can’t. It’s just something I’ll have to work on.
McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, one of my favourite reads, has a really cute article up, Thursday and Empire: or, How a Typical Workday Can Seem More Important When Modeled As a Great Era in Western Civilization.
I’ll have to model an Empire after my workday sometime soon and see how it turns out. I suspect that my empire will be modelled after Rome, and involve lots of coffee, curry, and technology. It’d be one of those empires that died out because of the strife and chaos caused by rapid development with little thought to the side-effects such a pace would have on social well-being.
