Sunspot 486

Via NewScientist: Unique double solar punch strikes Earth
It certainly has been a great week for skywatchers and amateur astronomers. Not so great for orbital arrays, navigation systems, power grids and satellites however. The chance for more X-class flares remains strong. Keep your eyes on SpaceWeather.com for the complete low-down.
Once again, it is interesting to note […]

IntelliTXT

Hmm. I’ve been wondering about these annoying links that pop up everywhere on the net these days. Finally found out what the little buggers are called - it’s IntelliTXT.
Ouch, it’s Smart Tags all over again. Only this time it is REALLY obtrusive. Just look at sites like Warp2search, Anandtech or Neowin if you’re not sure […]

New Lite-ON 411S firmware(s)!

Oh boy. Oh boy. Read all about in the official Lite-ON DVDR thread over at the Atomic Forums. There is both an official (FS07, 2003/10/15 20:54) and an un-official (FS0B, 2003/10/27 21:10) version.
There is also a link to CDFreaks that has the official (FS07) firmware in bin format for LTNFlash.
The media codes don’t indicate that […]

New host

I finally decided that it was time to stop fannying about. F2O has been great but I felt it was time to move on. New host is 99kronor.com. There are several advantages to this:
- More storage: 250MB (was 50MB).
- More bandwidth: 10GB/month or unlimited if not abused (was 3GB).
- Web Control panel with improved stats […]

Mortal Kombat 3

IMDB: Mortal Kombat: Domination (aka Mortal Kombat 3)
Could this possibly work? Is there even a snowflake’s chance in hell? Well, if they can mimic the unrestrained style of the first movie it could actually be a load of fun. Yes really.
I’ll just go right ahead and admit it. I think it (MK1) takes a very […]

Christian Vikernes on the move

Amazing. I actually forgot about this guy, rotting away in Berg (Vesfold) prison since 1994. Seems he was recently moved to Tönsberg and thus allowed periodical leave of absence.
The first thing he does is try to escape (or so it seems) in an incredibly lame way. He was caught yesterday driving south towards Oslo.
Pretty predictable […]

Drugs on the net - the hunt is on

Time for a little media feeding frenzy again. Seems someone at SVT (Swedish Television, i.e. Public Service) just realized that you can buy “drugs” on the internet. Oh no. Gasp. It can’t be! *irony*
Only the “drugs” aren’t drugs because they aren’t classified as drugs. Thus the entire program looses much of its credibility. Suckers. Never […]

Biobanks … the breakdown

The definition of a biobank is a little blurry but essentially it is nothing more than human tissue/fluid samples, kept in cold storage. In reality it is part of a larger picture known as human bio-collections. The other two components of bio-collections are genetic data (derived from the samples) and personal records (being able to […]

Knee Defender

Via FARK: Knee Defender
On the one hand, I think we’ve all been subject to “full-recliners” and they are a real nuisance, but on the other hand I wonder if this is the best way to deal with the situation.
It is in a way so characteristic for the US. If you have a problem with someone, […]

What’s up with SonyEricson?

From Mobile Review: Review Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Car
Amazing stuff and kind of what you would expect from SE. Say what you will of the merger but they have in fact come up with some pretty interesting stuff during the last year. The T68i for example, or the T100, T310 and T610. All winners in their […]
