Who would want something like this over a real cat? Isn’t it just weird? These are worse than clowns.

It was first broken on an Italian blog. I saw it on Dave Winer’s site. Looks like the Google Blogscoped site has some information about it as well.

As part of the Google Factory Tour webcast earlier today, there were some screenshots of an application that Google should be launching on their site later today. [...]

Netscape released their latest browser today, version 8.0. It has been touted as the anti-phishing browser because of many of the features it contains that are aimed at preventing people for falling for these attempts at aquiring personal information.
The Netscape site is getting hammered right now (i guess) so I have linked directly to the [...]

So the BitTorrent of Episode 3 that supposedly leaked the other day turned out to be a fake. Probably a cruel joke played by someone on people that were overly excited about the film.
Waxy.org is reporting that a workprint copy of the film has been leaked and is for real. He even has the screenshots [...]

Frank Pape of Distracto has put together a quick tutorial on installing Subversion on Mac OSX. He goes through installation (relatively simple with provided installation packages) as well as post-installation tasks.

Also, as long as we’re on the subject of Subversion, if you know of any really good, easy to use GUI Subversion clients for [...]

So how did Microsoft finally settle on the look and style of the new XBox 360? The Seattle Times has an article detailing the more than 2 years that went into the design of Microsofts next-generation console.
So Microsoft did what a company with $38 billion in the bank can do. It poured money into the [...]

Yahoo tracks all of its users everywhere on the web and the way to opt-out is detailed below. If you have a Yahoo e-mail account or belong to one of Yahoo’s many Yahoo groups, this probably applies to you. Yahoo has [...]

IGN is reporting that an article published by a Japanese newspaper quotes an official from Sony who apparently told the newspaper that the PS3 would sell for “less than 50,000 yen each”.
Assuming that the price difference between the US and Japanese versions of the PS3 are not huge, that translates to somewhere around $465 [...]

Ever been in an argument with someone and just couldn’t find a way to win? Well here are 38 techniques you can use to win any argument. I have a feeling that all the trolls on the web have printed these out and made posters of them.

There have been a ton of sites popping up using Google Maps to show things like traffic conditions, apartments for rent, etc. Here are two that I found that seem pretty nifty.
Cheap Gas

The time has come to move the goods over to a new content management system and I am looking at either Textpattern or WordPress. The only problem is I have always been reluctant to make the move for FG because there is so much going on I am not sure of how feasible making the [...]

Gearing up for the Episode 3 release tomorrow (or at midnight tonight) and in need of some proper attire for the event?

I’ve been travelling a lot lately, and in some cases I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find free wi-fi access in some of the hotels I’ve been at. In many cases, though, I’ve been hard pressed to find anything offered by the hotel and have had to rely on jumping on to an open connection from [...]

One of biggest gripes for Xbox was that it didn’t contain the premier Playstation titles like Final Fantasy. Well that argument can no longer be used because Final Fantasy is coming to Xbox 360.
This is a major score for Microsoft. Can’t say it will dent Sony at all because I believe eventually everyone will end [...]
