Should Apple Learn from IBM?
So Bill Gates had a go at Apple’s commercials — good on him, I’d say! What is the big deal about Windows “borrowing” from Mac OS-X? Or any other system for that purpose? Do guys in Apple think that every company should only stick to their own internal ideas? How would they envisage progress in […]
“Piracy Worked for Us”
So, according to President Basescu piracy worked for Romania by helping the country grow a very vibrant technology industry. Being a Romanian myself and having “enjoyed” partially during my student years the “privilege” of pirate copies (mainly because there were no dedicated shops at the time where you could acquire a software with a license […]
Pluto — The Word of the Year 2006
According to the American Dialect Society, Pluto is the word of the year 2006. According to them: To pluto is to demote or devalue someone or something, as happened to the former planet Pluto when the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union decided Pluto no longer met its definition of a planet. Read the […]
Pluto — “The Onion” Style
So Pluto is no longer a “proper” planet for a while now. And what does NASA do about it? Well, apparently they’re sending a space probe to consolate the poor thing — aaahhh! 🙂 Check out this funny story on The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/56641.
Customize Your SquirrelMail Login Page
If you’re using SquirrelMail then you are probably a bit fed up with the plain look-and-feel of the product. I’m not against it, it’s just that it DOES look kind of amateurish, unfortunately 🙁 While there is currently work in progress to make it more customizable and skinnable and so on in a future release, […]
Solar System Live
Have you seen this “live” Solar system simulator? Check out http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar — really cool! And don’t try to keep refreshing it to see how the planets move 🙂 The scale of the simulation is small enough so you can just about see a diferrence from day to day. You can try playing with the dates […]
SquirrelMail Autocomplete for Firefox
So I finally got around to providing a fix for the Autocomplete plugin for SquirrelMail to work in Firefox (for those of you who didn’t realise, the plugin was only working with Internet Explorer before). Hopefully the fix will make it in the next release of the plugin, but for those of you who are […]
Firefox 2.0 and Existing Plugins/Extensions
So Firefox 2.0 has been out for a while. However, if you check out some of the release notes, the one that talks about updating extensions for Firefox 2 seems really interesting: The first step — and, for most extensions, the only one that will be needed — is to update the install manifest file, […]
Speaking of Amazon-WordPress Integration…
Found this plugin called WP-Amazon (check out the site here: http://manalang.com/wp-amazon/). Once configured it adds this button which allows you to search and insert content from Amazon into your post. So just to try it out, in this post there should be an Amazon link to Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man CD. Unfortunatelly it doesn’t […]
