Alek’s Controllable Christmas Lights

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Stumbled across this brilliant site on Digg, and I also understand it’s all over Fark and Slashdot, so I won’t be surprised if you’ve seen it already.

Anyway, what you’re about to see is 15,000 christmas lights, and four giant inflatables, all outside Alek Komarnitsky’s house in USA. Oh, and you can control them from anywhere in the world.

That’s right, all day, every day from Thanksgiving 2006 to January 1st 2007, Alek’s webcams will be showing his workstation, the front of his house and the lawn, which together home the mass of lights and inflatables. And between 1700 and 2200 MST (GMT -7) every day, the buttons alongside the cameras work (more…)

Today Microsoft unveiled Zune’s official homepage, MicrosoftShitBrick.com

Ok, maybe it’s not the official site, nor is it Microsoft owned, but it’s the one I’ll be showing to people!:D

Microsoft buy Blinkx

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

A few days after Google accquire Youtube, Microsoft signs it’s own deal on purchasing Blinkx.

I’m not even going to write about this. The fact that Vista is a replica of Mac, Blinkx is a wannabe Youtube, and that Microsoft are left with little or no originality whatsoever is enough to annoy me to the state of not wanting to write.  :(

Click here to read the full story as told by someone else.

Addition: Also remembered Microsoft’s iPod Clone, the Zune which also annoys me.
Sick of Microsoft? Please, add me to msn at msn@moture.net - I personally will help you through every step of getting rid of Windows and moving onto Linux. Seriously, just get away from microsoft, now!

Urgh, I can’t believe I’m even writing about them.

1.65 Billion Dollar YouTube Takeover

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

Everyone’s talking about it, it’s all over the news, so you’ve probably heard all about it.googleyo

Which means I won’t ramble on. If you want the info, click a link in the “Everyone” at the start of this post.

My thoughts:
Google Video is better than YouTube. Just integrate YouTube into Google Video, set youtube.com to redirect and get everyone to shut up!
