Improv Everywhere's latest video: The Mute Button

If I saw this in the street, I would join in, right then and there. Great job guys!

The New York Times' article on Chromebooks is RIDICULOUS

" There’s no “desktop;” there’s no hard drive."
Yeah.....Wrong. Completely.


"O.K. I mean, I’m sort of with you here, but walk me through this."
Who writes professionally like that? A 6 year old?


"If you do not have a Google account, you can log in as a guest."
OR MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT


" There are no other programs or applications to use."
I dont know what screen you're looking at, but I have a nice 32 apps......


"So, with these netbooks and laptops that cost the same or less, and weigh the same or less, and come with screens bigger and smaller than Chromebooks, I could still do all those cloud-based things you were talking about, but I could also have a full-fledged computer as well?

Yes. So I would want a Chromebook because…? Good question.

They REALLY dissed Chromebooks here, and I don't blame them for one reason: Chromebooks cost WAY too much. I have owned 4 netbooks and each has proved to be a powerful device. Netbooks can even run Mac OS X at normal speeds! But the focus of these devices isn't iMovie, or COD; it's the web. 

So shout out to Sam Grobart, great job on the article! [NOT] I can't wait for your next article about how the news doesn't investigate in their topic. Oh wait, you already wrote it.

Geocaching (Not geocatching, as I thought for the first 3 months)

If you haven't already heard, there are THOUSANDS (just look to your left a few pixels to see) of hidden treasure boxes places throughout the world that you can find, take something out of, and replace with something else - trade hunting, if you will.

All you need: A smartphone!

There could be one in your neighborhood, because there was one in mine, and.........come on, the population is in the few thousands!

Sorry for the terrible screenshot, Chrome OS doesnt have a selection screenshot YET :D

The most Ghettotastic city...... EVER: Reloaded

The Kowloon Walled City:



I am really upset this complex was torn down in the early 90's, because I wanted to see this for myself. I mean, LOOK AT THAT! ................And people said the South Bronx was ghetto, PFFT!

Check out the Wiki page, for that's unfortunately the best post on it I could find....

General Blog Update: HEY

A: Who's the funny guy who created an ad.fly to my site?!
Look: http://adf.ly/50856/jcoinster.blogspot.com/2011/06/hey-cr48-users-googles-hiding-something.html
TSK TSK!

B: And why are so many people from Russia visiting my site?
(Yoyoyo Russians!)
C: Why does my site come up when you search "enjoyable peeing"?!?!

This has been a JCoinster Update.

The British really are crazy. An Ice Cream Tru.......Boat?

That's right! The British have amazed me yet again........
I wonder how their business is on a rainy day.

HEY CR48 USERS! Google's hiding something from us!

.....And apparently it's been 6 months!

Says it all on the forum:

But what is it?

The News Doesn't Check ANYTHING! - This is proof

This institute did not exist. Just Saying.

Rant: WHY DONT WE REALIZE ALL ELECTRIC CARS ARE JUST AS BAD AS GAS CARS

Take this commercial for the new All Electric Nissan Leaf (Nice name right?)

In case you live under a rock, all of our electricity is powered by coal plants, nuclear plants, wind mills, solar panels or dams (which are known for killing salmon).

Now, if you're thinking, "but wind and solar power are still good for the environment!?"
Well, they sure are! Too bad we get barely a single percent of energy from them (as of 2006)

Look down.......

Enjoy your coal-powered "electric" car!

Now before you make any conclusions!!
Hybrid cars are the good ones! The gas engine charges the battery, so no need to ever plug it in!

Now go buy a Prius.
