Guide: Modifying websites and how to say what you really think without sending it.

This is what I wish to see on the Cr-48 tracker.
How can I make this?

I use a firefox extension called Firebug
You can download the newest release here: http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.7X/

Using this extension is really simple. Just highlight over the selected text and click "Inspect Element".

I have also edited some random person's facebook status to make it more entertaining then something such as: "Shopping, It was fun."

The good part about this add on? Nothing is sent to the person, no one else can see it and a simple refresh of the page will bring everything back to normal.

I'm sure people can think of more mischievous uses for this app.

Please for the love of Steve Jobs, can you make an Italian to English version!

Google TISP, get yours today. One flush away.

Just flush it down and wait an hour. Google's workforce will be ready to lug your connection in withing 60 minutes. The sad part? I believed it for at least a minute...

I wonder what happens when you go potty...

Thank you Cr-48 thread on Slickdeals for entertaining me!

Make peeing much more enjoyable!

That's right! Sega is making these peeable games for urinals

Europe's Subway Systems, and why they're better

Most of the stations are fitted with surprisingly accurate estimated arrival time clocks. Only recently have I seen a few of these in NYC.

I fell in love with these things on my trip to Rome and Barcelona. They are much more secure then the gates that aren't monitored. The only problem is if you have a kid, who is free. In which you would have to keep them REALLY close to you.






The single and only downside: Graffiti

However, most of the trains have been replaced with ungraffitiable, if that's a word, paint similar to the US.

I hope one day, I will never have to walk another AIDS Walk.

One man has officially been cured of HIV. As a yearly walker and fundraiser, I hope next year will be one of the last.

A clear example we are addicted to Facebook

It's sad... We truly revolve around FB

While on the subject of facebook, one employee compiled an image of 10 million facebook friends. But where's Russia?

Again, Google knows how to advertise!

Their new promotion:

Why it's awesome:
Instead, it shows all their Google features being used in a ton of cool ways

Ex: Ordering Indian in Hindi, Virtual Skydiving, Googling a picture, yes, a picture and more!

Who watches a video and solves the equasion on the backboard? Someone.

That someone got a free Chrome Notebook (Cr-48)
Oh wait..... 60,000 other people are too.
Regardless, that was a sick equation Google!

My adventures with Mac OS X on my Dell Mini 10v

Now that the Cr-48 has taken the spotlight, I'd like to share my story of how my laptop.

One day, during a car trip to Florida, my Dell Mini 10v refused to boot my beloved Mac OS and would prevent me from opening any program on the laptop in a Finder error. I tried everything, reaching out to MyDellMini with no success. I've tried every forum's help I have looked for without luck. After retreating to an Ubuntu USB disk, I took all my files off my laptop onto my backup drive. Then I went ahead with a full format of my laptop, taking around 5 days before giving me a drive error (Bad Sectors.)

After trying 2 USB Drives, 5 Cham Boot Drives, 3 Snow and Leopard Images and attemps to write the images on Linux, Mac 10.3.9 and Windows, the install would appear similar to this:

Cham or syslinux boots the usb (with -v -x -f)
After 20 or so seconds I get a message saying:
"Bios read error: error 0x04
Block xxxxxxx: sectors 64"
(I have gotten the install to work a few times but it always failed after 10 or so minutes.)

And yet none of those gave me any resolution. To make it all better, and thank god I did this before zeroing the HD, my backup failed on me. So another few days was spent recovering, thankfully, all my files off the disk before inevitably zeroing the HD.


Now that the Hype of Chrome OS has begun, I have put it on my Mini JUST in case Google sends me one for the rigorous testing I would provide. However, wifi does not naively work and even the IMG from dell doesnt work after following the commands provided.


I hope whoever reads this will at least get some humor out of this story, I know I didn't.


P.S.: Ever since my Mini doesnt have Mac OS, the battery life has cut more then half. Just shows how much Dells like Apple and that we should all get along (Without Windows)

How to Update Chrome OS Releases

It was hard to find on the version i'm running on my Dell Mini.

It is under chrome://settings/about
Or you can find it under the wrench and click "about"

From there, you can check for updates or change from beta to dev.
