    Uhuh, I’m sure it is.

    I really don’t see the need for any of that “designer bottled” water stuff.

    Stuff like Evian water. I mean, srsly?

    Come on. You’re better than that.

  • If programming languages were religions…

    Java would be Fundamentalist Christianity – it’s theoretically based on C, but it voids so many of the old laws that it doesn’t feel like the original at all. Instead, it adds its own set of rigid rules, which its followers believe to be far superior to the original. Not only are they certain that it’s the best language in the world, but they’re willing to burn those who disagree at the stake.

    Epic lulz.

    Check it out – there’s C, Java, PHP, C++, C#, Lisp, Haskell, Erlang, Perl, Lua, Ruby, Python, COBOL, APL, LOLCODE, and Visual Basic.

    Interesting read, nonetheless!

  • iPhone-Optimised Search Results from Google Toolbar

    So… props to Daring Fireball for this one.

    If you hit the Google something from the Google toolbar in Mobile Safari on iPhone/iPod Touch, then it doesn’t automagically format the search results for your device – until now.

    Seems to only work for google.com searches, though, not country-specific ones as per this flickr comment.

    Bummer, indeed.
