Spam Gets Profound

It started with this:

God dag,

Profound, yes, but then it continued:

HFSExplorer

I found this cool piece of software - HFSExplorer. This software allows you to read Mac OS Partitions in Windows (such as on an iPod or external Hard Drive). From the website:

Potential users are:

* Users of Intel Macs running Windows XP with Boot Camp (primary usage scenario, as it’s my own reason to develop the app).
* Owners of HFS+-formatted iPods, that wish to access their content from within Windows or elsewhere (a user emailed me and verified that this works).
* Users of PearPC or similar Mac emulation/virtualization software that wish to access the contents of their virtual hard disks (will only work if the disk image is stored in raw format, as in PearPC).
* People that need to access the contents of HFS+-formatted .dmg files (conversion is no longer needed).

The program is written in Java and C, and is open source. Head over to the developer’s website to download it.

Create a Photo Collage of Your Facebook Friends

This is cool. Check it out:

We earlier asked you to spot a secret Easter Egg in Facebook that lets you create a photo collage of your Facebook Friends in two seconds flat.

Well, it’s an extremely simple process - just follow the step below:

Step 1: Login into your Facebook account and click the Friends tab.

Step 2: Select the drop-down box and click the list separator (–) in that drop down that’s also highlighted in the screenshot below.

facebook picture collage

Voila! You Facebook friends collage is right on your computer screen. If you have a long list of Facebook friend, it could span across several folds. Save that as an image using some screen capture application that supports auto-scrolling.

This is almost as cool as Friend Wheel. Too bad you can’t arrange or save the collage in any easy way……

This is so great.

I remember seeing this about a year or so ago, and I’ve been looking for it again ever since. It’s really awesome. Check it out:

It Doesn’t Work….I tried.

By now, you might have read this article on how to get 5 free songs on iTunes. I quote:

Log in to Facebook
Search for “ticketmaster live”
Join the group
Redeem the 5 free songs link
Leave the group if you want

Bada-bing!
5 free songs!

So, what happens if you leave the group and re-join? Do you get 5 more songs?
The answer, of course, is no. Now you know.

How to Prevent Razor Burn

Here’s a tip to prevent those ugly little bumps and irritation from appearing on your face/neck/legs/etc. after you shave. It takes a little longer to shave using this technique, but doing so will leave your skin smooth and irritation free. For each section you shave, first shave in the direction the hairs grow, then against the direction, and then go back over in the direction they grow. This three step process will stop razor burn and leave you looking good!

An Open Letter to Mr. Quentin Tarantino

Dear Mr. Tarantino,

Let me start off by saying that I love your work. I’ve seen all your movies and loved them. I think that what you did with Reservoir Dogs was innovative and original. Likewise, I thought that you really developed your style and let it shine through in the Kill Bill movies. I appreciate your work and always look forward to seeing your name on a film, because it means that I am going to be in for a good ride, and will enjoy what I am going to see.

Which brings me to why I am writing you. A couple of years ago, I saw posters for a movie called Hostel, presented by Quentin Tarantino. “Cool,” I thought, “this will definitely be a good thing to go see! Tarantino is helping some young director make a name for himself, that’s honorable. And I bet that the movie’s pretty good, too, since he put his name to it!” So, I saw the movie, and no offense to Mr. Roth, but it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The whole thing was just a lame rip-off of the Saw movies, except without any suspense or aspects of a thriller. I left the movie, Mr. Tarantino, wondering why you would associate with such a film.

And imagine my surprise, when a couple years later, you’re doing the same thing. What is it that you see in these movies? Have you watched them? Now, I haven’t seen Hostel Part II yet, so forgive me if it is actually good, and I might go see it if reviews are good enough, but I have a feeling that it’s more of the same. Mr. Tarantino, why do you do this to your reputation? Perhaps you don’t care about your reputation, which would be honorable and totally awesome. But I really wonder what it is that you see in these films.

Please, Mr. Tarantino, go back to directing and acting. Crappy, mindless horror movies will do just fine on their own.

Your Fan,
Madison Parks

Here’s a little tip for you.

OK, I’ve had with you people. You know who you are. Yeah, you’re the people hu tipe like dis. You’re the people hU tInK ItS cOoL 2 tIpE lIkE tHiS aLl ThE tImE!!!!!!!
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Just because we’re on the internet does not mean that you can forget everything you know about grammar, spelling, language, or just plain old FUCKING LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE. Seriously, folks, is this really necessary? It actually takes longer to write in alternating caps, and you look like a fucking retard when you intentionally misspell everything. Now, I’m not talking about using internet slang. Sure, it’s a lot easier to write “lol” than “man, that was hilarious”. And that’s fine. It’s also easier to write “g2g” instead of “I have to go, see you later”. But those are mostly used in Instant Messaging. My problem is with the bloggers, with the livejournalers. My problem is with the Facebook and Myspace users who think that it’s cool and hip to write like a fucking six year old. Well, I have news for you people:
iTs NoT kEwL!!!!! K RITE?????!?!?!?!
So, here’s my plea to you all. Write in whatever language you speak, and write properly, because chances are you’re intelligent enough to. But that may be pushing it.

Geek Squad, Change Your Name

Geek Squad, change your name, because your making a bad name for geeks. Between stories of you failing at diagnosing and fixing a problem, and now a lawsuit saying that a Geek Squad employee planted a camera to videotape a client in the shower, you simply don’t deserve to be called geeks. You rip people off, don’t even fix problems correctly, and apparently hire sexual predators.
Geek Squad, you need to change your name. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Bullshit Squad
  • The Rip-off Center at Best Buy (ironic, isn’t it?)
  • “Specialists”

Geek Squad, Go Away.
