Proof that people are stupid – Number 487

There’s some morning TV show called “Daybreak” here in the UK. It has a clock on it so you know whether you’re late for work / school etc. Anyhow, there’s a Twitter account too, but it looks like the account gets bombarded with utter idiots who constantly tell them that the on-screen clock is wrong. What is actually happening is that the viewers are watching the time-shifted ITV1+1 channel, and despite the fact it clearly says “ITV1+1″ in the top corner, people continue to complain… Dicks..

Another site closes up shop

It looks like btjunkie.org have decided to go the way of the Dodo following the shutdown of well-known file sharing websites. What exactly prompted this we’re not sure, but it was a hugely popular torrent website which indexed a pile of illegal material. Perhaps they just got spooked.

Knight Rider – Livin in the 80 s

Remember when Knight Rider kinda ran short and they just filled up the time with “cruise scenes”?

Those were the days..

Nokia. Has the brand left the building?

Hmm… I’m wondering whether to expand on this and post it on Coolsmartphone. It’s a little something I found here and, to be honest, I think they’re not far off the truth. Is Nokia a brand people still want ?

Lulu. I hate Lulu. I hate Lulu.

I must admit to not liking Lulu very much. Don’t ask me why, I think it’s just when she continually pops up on TV and starts singing, “Weeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll”

Anyways.. strangely this remix has turned that all around.. suddenly I find myself tapping my foot and generally thinking, “Yes, I like Lulu…”

Another day, another FTTC router.

You may have read several items here about my adventures with Fibre To The Cabinet, aka FTTC. It’s sold by BT Retail as Infinity.

I’ve had the VDSL modem replaced once already, but it seems that it still generated enough heat to cook an egg. Now BT have contracted out an company called “Kelly” to replace some 800,000 sweaty Huawei modems. Here’s my new one ..

How great is Birmingham?!

Blimey, the actual New York Times had written an article about Brum, and it’s complimentary too!

So, errr.. am I going mad here or?

Quidco sent me a mail saying that I could get Virgin Broadband for £5 a month for 3 months. Not bad..

Just £5 for the first three months. Sounds like a deal, and you get a whacking cashback… I think I’ll check it out, so .. just a few clicks onto the Virgin Media site and… am I missing something here? Doesn’t that say (lower left) “save £5 per month for the first 3 months”. Errmm.. that’s a bit different than just paying £5 a month. It’s actually £5 off the £28.50. Umm.. That’s false advertising isn’t it Quidco?
