Kashi Dark Chocolate Kid
Recently while clicking on a Kashi advertisement to find out more of their delicious and healthy-looking granola bars. To my surprise there was a black child greeting me with a small after clicking on the Kashi Peanutty Dark Chocolate layered granola bar!
Ask Google For Your IP address
Google has always known your IP address, but now if you need it for something and share my lazyness. You can cut out that extra click by simply typing ”what is my ip address” in the search query box and Google will promptly display your current IP address. If you’re really lazy, you could just type “ip” and it will work just the same.
BofA plans to charge a $5 dollar debit card fee next year
Let me get this straight? We, the tax payers bailed out these HUGE bank monopolies with our hard earned money and now they want to charge us a $5 dollar fee for using their precious debit cards? Are you kidding me??
Leave it up to the latest “trendy” beer commercial by none other than Heineken to resurrect a catchy Bollywood 60s tune while at the same time confusing the audience and alienating a couple of races.
What if I told you that you could Google Talk with whomever you needed to without the use of a web browser? If you’re a Command-Line fanatic like myself, you will welcome mcabber — a small Jabber console client — into your life!
New Facebook Privacy Controls Inline
Just a few moments ago while complaining about something utterly unimportant on Facebook. I noticed this little guy pop-up telling me about some new privacy controls on status updates. It seems now that you have the option of tagging who you are with as well as your current location and finally with the option of making your update public or whatever. I know they say that these are privacy controls but if anything it seems like they are more ways to lose your privacy. You decide.
Now I don’t feel so bad that this site got compromised last week. I received an email yesterday regarding a security breach on the developer.nokia.com/community discussion forum. It looks like someone forgot to patch the forum which was exploited via an SQL injection attack.
Unfortunately some douche decided to ruin my day by exploiting this site via the zero day vulnerability found in thumbtim.php that can allow arbitrary file uploads. Yup, just like many self-hosting WordPress bloggers one of my plugins and themes was using the vulnerable thumbtim.php and ended up taking most of my day to — with the help of other victims — restore the site from with a fresh and shiny clean install. I’ll have to admit that the site being compromised was due to laziness on my part. Even so, its not cool to mess things up for someone with not a lot of time to keep everything in check. Bastards!

Nowadays most modern HDTV sets have built-in DLNA streaming capabilities. I for one have a Samsung LN55B650, which is capable of streaming media from a DLNA server (not just the one included with the TV CD package). Most notably movies! Unfortunately — that I know of — this particular TV will only accept .srt subtitles files. If you happen to have a .sub file, it will not be able to read it. Fortunately there are ways to convert .sub/.idx files to .srt plain text format. This is where Subresync comes in.

Yesterday A few days ago I posted about the release of the Nokia N9, which with all its impressive features disappointed me with the lack of a physical hardware keyboard. There were however some good news as I learned from Twitter that the Nokia N950 has been quietly and officially announced! As promising as that was the bad news is that the device will have limited numbers and be only available to developers.
