Sony does some good PR (note the sarcasm)

December 30th, 2008 | Category: Evil, Israel, Judaism, Politics, Religion, Software

It looks like in a effort to boost their dwindling console sales, sony has decided to attempt to appeal to the anti-semitic market by banning words like “Jew” from their “home” service. Read the washingtonpost for more info.

Is Wikipedia being anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi?

Every fiscal year Wikimedia (the organization behind Wikipedia) produces an annual report that talks about what it has accomplished and how it spent money. This year’s report can be viewed here.

Like most reports of this type, wikimedia’s report has nice graphics and is visually appealing. However, unlike most reports of this type, wikimedia uses the Nazi flag and the Nazi swastika to help its visual appeal.

This is the where the swastika appears:

To help see it I zoomed in on this part of the image:

And here is the blue in that pic up close:

That is not the only place in which swastikas appear in Wikimedia’s report, in fact if one were to zoom in on almost any part of the last page, they would be able to find at least one representation of anti-semitism.

What happened to myorangepc?

November 16th, 2008 | Category: Apple, Computers, Evil, Funny, Internet, Life, Mac, Software, Websites

A fun past time of mine at the mall is to go into the Apple store, go to a few computers, open the web browsers and open myorangepc.com. Then I’ll stand outside the store with the people that I am with and watch the shopper’s reactions. It can be really funny.

So anyways, last night I was at the mall with Kevin and Nicole and we went into the mac store, I went to a computer and tried to go to myorangepc.com, however when the page loaded it was not myorangepc.com it was some type of control panel. It was very disappointing, myorangepc.com used to be a very good site.

New iGoogle layout

October 16th, 2008 | Category: Computers, Evil, Gmail, Google, HowTo, Internet, Programming, Rants, Software, Websites

I really hate it when developers change something when the old system worked just as well if not better than the new one. Mozilla did it when they got rid of the lock icon if FireFox and it looks like google just did when they moved the tabs in iGoogle.

The old iGoogle had tabs at the top of the page, like almost every other website.

Old iGoogle tabs

 However the new iGoogle has moved the tabs to the side.

If you are like me and want the old tabs back then follow these 3 easy steps…

1) Go to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en

2) Click the sign in button in the top right corner and if prompted sign in

3) Enjoy the old iGoogle tabs and update any bookmarks or homepage settings
