Opera released their latest update yesterday and when they said it was fast, they weren’t kidding. Opera has been consistently faster than IE and FireFox for me, but this latest update blows all previous versions out of the water.
Does anyone else find Facebook a little more than annoying recently? I don’t know what’s more insulting: that Facebook thinks Yves has no friends, or that Facebook thinks I have time to find him more friends.
A picture of a kitty stretching in the kitchen results in a “How To Sex” advertisement in the sidebar … how odd.
One of the many things that men learn when they’re young is that there are three mothers we should be especially careful with: Mother Nature, Mother-in-Laws, and Mother $%&#ing Spammers. This third one is quite upset with me today …
Imagine, if you will, a future where people are more aware of their ecological impact on the planet and strive as a single collective to reduce our emissions-loving ways as much as possible without simultaneously destroying nations and economies. Believe it or not, it is possible.
