Facebook Claims New Terms Were “Overly Formal” and Reverts to Original
February 18th, 2009The other week, Social Networking website Facebook had made an adjustment to their user Terms of Service. This update stated that any content uploaded to Facebook was now property of the company and could be used and held onto even if the user deletes their account. Once word of this got into the open, bloggers, news stations and even my school’s web radio had been bashing the subject of Facebook now “owning” your information. The Facebook staff held a meeting amongst themselves in response, discussing what should be done and Mark Zuckerberg this morning posted an announcement on the Facebook blog that will be seen by Facebook users next time they log in:

New Simpsons Intro Sequence
February 16th, 2009
After 19 Years, The Simpsons now comes starting with a new title sequence! The change being brought by the whole idea that even cartoons should be in HD for as the chalkboard reads, “HDTV is worth every cent.”
So is the internet.

Two Travelers
February 3rd, 2009I (spontaneously) try my hand at the short allegory and this is what comes out:
Two travelers are walking down a path to a distant city far beyond the horizon. One stops and says, “What is the point of walking if we cannot even glimpse the city?”
The other continues and shouts back, “What is the point of thinking if it stops us from walking?”
The first traveler, persuaded, resumes walking.
I’m having a field day interpreting it; would anyone like to take a shot in the comments section?

Incredible Failure: DS Stylus Usage
December 27th, 2008As I posted on my personal blog…
The Internet Just Failed Me
The tip of the stylus for my Waccom Tablet stopped functioning for some reason, so like any other resourceful internet user I went to Google for a solution! I typed in “stylus tip stopped working” to see if somebody has asked a question somewhere. Rather than getting the returned results I wanted I stumbled upon a link that just made me hate the internet and love it at the same time: “Stylus tip stuck in headphone jack (no sound!)”
I clicked the link to be brought to a “Fixya” support page. Apparently some internet hero decided to ram their Nintendo DS Stylus up the headphone jack, causing the DS to stop sending sound out its speakers. Better yet, the stylus is JAMMED in there so it seems they’ll have to dismantle the thing!
This reminds me of a time a few years ago my friend murdered his computer by trying to jam a microphone jack into a USB port. I hate people.
