I hate ponies!

"Darling Winston, I hope you will try & not smoke. If you only knew how foolish and silly you look doing it you wd give it up, at least for a few years. If you will give it up & work hard this term to pass yr preliminary I will get Papa to get you a gun & a pony".

Lady Randolph Churchill in a letter to her Harrow studying 16 years old son, dated 19 September 1890

Ataque de panico!

A small time producer from Uruguay puts Hollywood to shame. His bet? Making a cool video of a robot invasion in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, on a 300$ budget. Long story short, he gets 2 million + views on his Youtube page, and bang, Hollywood calls: he signs a 30 mil. movie deal.

Watch his four-minute short, "Ataque de Panico!" (Panic Attack)

Product tip for Asus

Hello Asus Product Development Team,

if you were wondering what should be the next big thing after you flattened the EEE netbooks, here is a free tip from me: just put an eInk based e-book reader on top of them, on the back of the actual screen, for an extra 200$. No, actually, for an extra 199$.

The thing is I don't want to carry both a netbook and an e-reader around. If you price the combo better than the cost of a separate netbook + ereader combination, it would be great.
And you should, as the combo should have only one battery, not two, as its separate pieces.

Decat

"Mai aveti decat trei zile de mandat, domnule Basescu..."
Mircea Geoana, in timpul dezbaterii

E greu cu romana, domnule Geoana. Decat ca din cauza asta o sa pierdeti voturi, chiar mai mult decat din cauza vizitelor la Moscova si la Vantu.
