Unbundling: A fool's errand

Unbundling: A fool's errand 04/09/2004 04:10 PM
Here's my two cents about the European Union's fine and sanctions against Microsoft. I have to agree that a legal crusade to mandate unbundling is a fool's errand. It would have been far better for the EU to focus strictly...

Fool's World Map

Fool's World Map 08/03/2004 11:27 PM
Fool's World Map: "This is a project visualizing the world map which many fools in the world imagine. If you can see this map comfortably, you are definitely a fool." The creator updates and reformats the malleable map based completely on capricious, erroneous geographical inconsistencies found within oblvious statements from his comment logs. Examples: (095. Upper right side of Germany became Australia due to a posting by another stupid American thinking "Australia is beside Germany.") and (001. Due to a Texan who thinks "Japan is accessible from Texas by car", Japan and Texas is land-attached."). He also has a page of user-submitted maps, where he encourages you to create your own global eyesore and send it to him.

EFFector April Fool's Day edition

EFFector April Fool's Day edition 04/01/2005 05:12 PM
Cory Doctorow: We EFF staffers have spent the past week cracking each other up planning our April Fool's Day edition of the EFFector, EFF's weekly newsletter. It's online now:

RIAA Lawsuits Draw to a Close Washington, DC - The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) this week announced that its litigation campaign against American filesharers will now end. Explained RIAA President Cory Shoreman, "In short, we sued 'em all. All 70 million, plus their parents, grandmothers, and roommates, have been properly brought to heel, for settlements ranging from between $3,000 and their entire net worth."

Shoreman continued, "The only logical result is that a properly chastened nation will now herd - peacefully, without protest - into the local malls to purchase from dusty, bulging shelves a dozen copies each of $18 Ashley Simpson copy-protected CDs."

"Why a dozen? Why, one CD for every RIAA-designed, government-approved listening device, of course! And then on top of that you've got to buy duplicates for back-ups in case any of them get scratched."

Twirling his moustachios and straightening his top hat, Shoreman chortled, "And they said the recording industry would never adjust to the Internet era!"

Boring Boring: Awesome April Fool's

Boring Boring: Awesome April Fool's
parody of Boing Boing 03/31/2005 11:46 PM
Xeni Jardin:

Some anonymous geniuses whipped up this incredibly thorough parody of Boing Boing. I LOLed until my very eyeballs popped out. The detail is frightening (note the "Studious Girls" ads), as is the volume of witty, nuanced little references to actual crap we've blogged. To wit:

HOWTO: De-everybody Boring Boring
Jason Gill says, "Someone has posted a script for GreaseMonkey (a Firefox extension that lets you add your own Javascript code to any website, to remove ads or add features) that automatically removes every post when viewing Boring Boring." We wish we had thought of that.

and

At last, an alternative to Firefox!
Firefox Alternative Chris James sez, "I got so tired of all the updates, lame plug-ins and the W3C evangelism of the Mozilla crowd that I've been looking around for an alternative to Firefox for quite some time. Finally, I've settled on a great free app called Internet Explorer -- and it looks like I'm not alone. According to my site stats, Explorer is running neck and neck with Firefox for marketshare. It's about time somebody gave those thugs at the Mozilla Foundation some competition." Link

Link to "Boring Boring: A Directory of Dull Things." It's a masterpiece. Thanks, smartass(es)!

Update: Looks like their webserver is acting squirrely. If you can't access the site, here's a partial screenshot: Link. Come back, you big tease!

Search Returns!

Search Returns! 08/03/2004 09:03 AM

So our behind-the-curtains team here at the Gawker Empire has been, well, besides basically keeping we lazy editors afloat, working hard to make sure that our websites do cool things like actually work. Brice (who I, of all editors, forgot on Sysadmin Appreciation, but will remember now) spent a long time finally building a search tool that would get the job done for Gizmodo (MT's search, god love it, just wasn't quite up to the task of handling of dozens to tens of dozens of requests at once), and we've been testing it out for the last week or so, and so far it's working pretty great.

I just thought I'd point it out to you (it's up there in the right hand corner), say thanks again to Brice and everybody who works so hard to make our jobs easier, and explain a little about the new search's extended features after the jump.
