You Wanted A Thin TV?
You got it. If this was much thinner it would have to be transparent.

Doggie Tail Communicator
You might be wrong when you think a fast wag of your dog's tail means "I'm happy to see you!" It might mean "I've just been eating out of the cat's litter box! Yum! It's so cruch and delicious!"

Why Your Computer Randomly Plays Its A Small World - Can you believe this is a built in warning for a computer problem? Well it is.

Solar Jacket - Grab power from the sky while looking too cool for school.

The First Computer Virus - Viruses may not be thought of as a prank nowadays. 25 years ago the first one was written as just that.

Magnetic Fridge - New cooling technology? Well, really old cooling technology being reused.

Fast Robot - This robot can walk/shuffle/run surprisingly fast. I for one welcome our evil robot overlords.

Real Pumpkin For Computer Case - At first I thought it was plastic or something. Did they cover it with Vaseline? I guess that would be a different "make your own" article.

Virus Alert - I saw this earlier in the week. I expected it was fixed but just surfed a site that prompted me to download exp.wmf. If you are using Firefox, don't download it. If you are using Internet Explorer, get the patch.

Internet Explorer users who visited a Web page containing this ad and whose IE was not equipped with the WMF patch would not get that warning. Rather, their machines would silently download a Trojan horse program that installs junk software in the PurityScan/ClickSpring family of adware. This stuff bombards the user with pop-up ads and tracks their Web usage. Only a little more than half of the anti-virus programs used at anti-virus testing service AV-Test.org flagged the various programs that the Trojan tried to download as malicious or suspicious.

Monitor Calibration Tool - Calibrate your monitor so you can really see your pictures.

Internet Acronym Search - Ever wonder what ascii or http stand for? Now you can impress you friends that don't care.

Flying 20 feet over the ground seems very dangerous, but the science is interesting.

Pit different sites against each other in Google battle. It's a simple way to see how sites stack up against each other in Google rank.

The Lenovo Tapes - I don't know if I believe any of this or not. Yes I do. I don't believe it. Do you?

Cool Search Engine - This is what I would call a web 2.0 search engine. It also reminded me of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Make up your own mind, but pigs and worms shouldn't mix!

The most powerful Diesel engine in the world is the Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C. Next, they need a really big go-cart.

What is PHP? - If you do any coding at all you will find this funny. If not, move along nothing to see here.

"PHP stands for Awesome HTML Generation Engine, but no one knows why. Some have suggested that the name is a recursive expansion like "GNU" (Got No Underwear). This explanation makes no sense, but persists anyway."
