Hands down, the coolest hack for Chrome

Who needs Ubuntu, Mac OS and umm, that other crappy OS! 

Just paste this into your URL bar and click enter. I've been playing with this hack for a good 20 minutes!

javascript:var i,s,ss=['http://kathack.com/js/kh.js','http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js'];for(i=0;i!=ss.length;i++){s=document.createElement('script');s.src=ss[i];document.body.appendChild(s);}void(0);

Yeah, no need to tell you to not enter it with quotes, because I didn't give you any.
Enjoy!

It doesn't get worse than this. The Story of my iPhone

It all began one morning at a gas station. I watched as someone accidentally ran over someone's phone, sped off, and left one angry girl. She picked up the broken up iPhone and threw it in the garbage. Luciky, I have an appreciation for technology, so, I picked it up and brought it home. It seemed to only need a digitizer(touch screen) so I fired up amazon and ordered one for a whopping: 15 dollars. I coated it in saran wrap to prevent me from scratching myself while I waited for the screen, and installed my Apps and Music.

When It arrived, I followed the poorly written, broken English, instruction sheet and opened the Youtube video they provided, since it was my first time attempting to fix an iPhone's screen. It went well, with the exception of a small dot on the top of the LCD known as "bleeding", which I ignored. 

After a few months, I broke the LCD while listening to my genius plan to squish the black liquid back into the edge of the screen. Back to Amazon I went, only this time for an LCD. Upon installing, I cracked the digitizer in the process, again. So, the Noob I am, kept the cycle going and ordered another one and installed it, this time perfectly. I put a screen protector on as well as a nice case to prevent any further mistakes. 

But, my luck, the LCD I was sent crapped out on me while riding home on the train. I contacted the seller and he gave me another one, but only after I reported him to Amazon because he ignored my claim for a good 2 weeks. Now that I was a pro, I didn't crack the screen or touch screen while I installed it. 

Recently, I was showing someone a picture and it slipped out of my hand, slowly falling to the ground. Unlike ALL the other times i've dropped it, it cracked right on top, but luckily not over the screen. Unfortunately, the screen stopped working after a few days and I have ordered the pricey 7 dollar screen once again. 

All in all, It would have been MUCH cheaper to buy an iPhone 3G online someplace than to keep buying these touch screens. As for now, here are some pictures to demonstrate my destruction.


Yeah......I don't have the best luck with this device.

Here comes the sun, Do, Do, Do, Doo

My little solar powered flower is finally getting enough sunlight to start flapping its stems.

The story behind my pink solar powered flower? I was actually paid to take it in a gift raffle. It has since been a wonderfully unique addition to my room.

My 5 year old sister can do a better wire job!

Seriously..... Ever hear of an EXTENSION cord? Yeah, they have those.

The most Annoying Video. Ever.

Why people need to proofread. Remember kids, "you need to get into a good colleague"


"Do you dream of going to an Ivory Legal Colleague like Harvard, Jail, or Prison? You know, Prison, NJ."

This guy's great.

Rant: What FIRST Robotics Should Be, And What It's Not

In Robotics, there are a few factors that give some teams a better advantage:

1. Lots of dough
2. Lots of teachers
3. Lots of Kids

Two of these factors are not appreciated when excess amounts of it appear.

Perfect example of how a FIRST Team should run: Gear Ratios
Student: Gear 1
Teacher: Gear 2

Direct drive= terrible, but i've seen it happen
1:2= ridiculous
2:1= better
4:1= closer
8:1= Student run team, this team learns how to do something useful for their future

I've seen teams from bad neighborhoods, missing functionality on their robot, with kids trying to compete with students with around 1 million dollars in spending money. These kids may be in the same competition, but they are far from similar. The kids without the money are trying to build something together, getting other team's help, and getting the most from their experience. These are the idealist teams, the ones who should be winning the prizes, because these people are motivated to do their best.

There's my rant. I hope this is heard by the people of FIRST

*I am not aiming this at certain teams, it is just a trend I am noticing*

Enough Said.

How to tell when your CR48 automatically updated

Simple. Try to tap to click. If it doesn't work, there you have it. Fastest guide yet.

Google Mobile App actually doesn't suck now!


That's right! It is finally something more than a bunch of links to Safari (Which doesn't work on my iPhone anyway. Oh, while I'm on the subject.... Yeah, another touch screen busted, totally now. Not just a crack...) Anyways, it offers IN APP functionality now.

Well, first it was Billy Mays, then it was Tony the Tiger, now the Aflac Duck...

Gilbert Gottfried
Gilbert Gottfried, the voice of the Aflack Duck, tweeted a few tweets recently that were trying to be funny about Japan. Apparently, Aflac was not happy.
Now, they are searching for a new duck voice. Here's a tip Aflac: Use a REAL duck. Then you don't have to worry about it tweeting about controversial issues.

A game inside the search bar, who knew....
