Software patents suck
Category: web

Can you believe this? I hope the facebook people die. If the U.S. goes further in this direction than I am leaving.

Facebook received a patent for:

"dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." In the most basic terms, this means Facebook has patented technology that delivers the stuff filling up your newsfeed like shared

Think how ridiculous this is. Its one thing when you do something unique but "dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network." is something that was going on way before facebook.

"dynamically providing a news feed about a user of a social network."

As in helping random people, jealous ex'es and other demented loonies spy on your every move and perverts stalk you effortlessly? Thank you. I pass.

Ugli fruit
Category: food

The ugli fruit

sure is ugly and the taste is not unique enough to warrant looking at it. It basically tastes like a tangerine.

Sign at work
Category: signs

Does everyone see the irony in this. (E:enknot) put this in the microwave at work to remind people to be clean with it and now the sign is dirty too.

Maybe I will take a picture of our department's microwave. I refuse to use it. I asked for a new one but that is not happening.
