Problem With Processing Dirty Regions

Processing dirty regions is not an easy task, it makes computers have internal errors. It makes computers feel dirty inside.

The Facebooks Know What You Might Like

Technology is frightening, your phone knows what you wanted. And the interwebs understand you more than you know. But sometimes robots do not have the human touch and make their suggestions in inappropriate groupings.

I love Pixar movies, that is true. Toy Story 3 made me cry. So obviously I would like nekkid pr()Nz.

January Mubarak

But it's only June.

January Mubarak is:

a) Sister of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

b) Syrian stunt double of Mad Men actress January Jones.

c) A subtle hint to replace the lunar month of Ramadan with the solar month of January in which fasting from dawn to sunset is a small ordeal considering the short days and cool weather. Nice try, CAPTCHA, but not even my favorite Saudi cleric would support this kind of reform.

The iPhone Knows What You Really Meant

No, I did not mean that

I was searching for a Coinstar app in the iPhone App Store so I could locate a nearby machine and exchange my coins for a gift certificate. The iPhone made an unsettling assumption -- perhaps with uncanny insight -- about what I wanted to find.

50 Beautiful And 3 Ugly Ones

Clever sign to sell mobile phones makes a reference to popular tagline of a well known chain of strip clu... gentlemen's clubs. I'll take one of the ugly ones.

I've only seen the sign from the road.

Smoke Crack All Day WiFi

I decided to check my email while riding the bus, and my phone informed me of the available wireless networks within range.

The YouTubes' Creepy Relevance Algorithm

How does The YouTubes make the connection between my video of Ozan conducting a baking-soda rocket experiment seen here:



and the "Related Videos" that it suggests?

Since there are no tags or keywords in the description of the rocket science video, it is rather amazing that they assumed I am a Funny Dancing Turkish Man, surrounded by crazy people from the Indian subcontinent as a result of a wedding.

Free Hi-Def Monitor with Gamer Chair

My generous neighbor decided to give a free Hi-Def monitor with a gamer chair to the first lucky person who wants it.

They Urgently Need Software Engineers

(Click the picture to see the full-sized image)

A *friend* who responded to some software engineering job postings later sent the recruiter a follow-up email to inquire about the status of those positions, pointing out the urgent need of the company to hire these developers.

Automatic Ball Washer Systems

A few minutes before I was escorted out by security, this is what I saw at the kids' fun park. Well then why do you put it there in the first place?!

Phone Call From (res) tri-cted

Click the picture to see the full-sized image.

Some LOL-ness from my online voicemail tool. Someone tell these guys to use s/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/($1) $2-$3/ to match a phone number pattern instead of /(.{3})(.{3})(.{4})/. For a text manipulation geek -- and nobody else -- this is (HYS) TER-ICAL!

Frosty The Cylon Spy

This USB Snowbot appeared on my desk. Is it spying on me? Is there a microphone or camera hidden inside it?

Who's watching me? This is not helping my paranoid panic attacks.

I Hate Computers: Failing at Failure

The Eclipse IDE for Java software development is a pretty useful tool... most of the time.
