"Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s)."
gareth: It's pretty awesome - I'm using it with a xp and a ubuntu box right now, it makes a nice dual-monitor setup out of two machines without the capability to be as such. Not to mention that you can effectively make a dual processor box out of two mono processor boxes.
Marcus:
"A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a 'first' for Pro-Life"
Marcus: It also marks a first for "naked pregnant Britney Spears doggy-style statue porn" enthuasiasts everywhere.
Marcus: And there's something wonderful about how the sculpture is not only "pro-life" but also "pro-hunting", given that Britney is clutching onto the head of a sculptured bear skin rug
Marcus: "Natural aspects of Spears' pregnancy, like lactiferous breasts and protruding naval, compliment a posterior view that depicts widened hips for birthing and reveals the crowning of baby Sean's head."
Marcus: Lordy!
justin: Yeah, either the artist was being hugely dismissive of the pro-life brigade (losers), or like many Americans, totally missed out on the irony.
Gareth:
Microsoft are being so nice as to allowing website developers 60 days to make their sites compatible with IE7. Oh, how nice of them.
gareth: It might be just me, but I tend to think that a new browser shouldn't be forcing new standards on the internet community, but better interpreting the already prexisting languages. Maybe it's just me being annoyed with all the stupid little hacks you have to code into a page just so it'll look nice for IE users?

We all love Disney video sex scandals, so here's one that's true.
justin: While we're at it, let's see what Disney has to say about VD.
gareth: Wow, the VD one was actually pretty good. I wish I got that stuff in school.
gareth: Got to see that movie, I mean.

A video demonstrating the upgrade and reassembly of an Apple 12" Powerbook G4. Upgrades include a 16X Dual Layer DVD burner, a 100GB hard drive, new speakers with a louder bass response, and a new Apple rainbow logo on the lid. All of this in about a minute and a half! Check it out and let me know what you think.
gareth: While the assembly is pretty interesting (he mentions that it is the most difficult one he has ever done), the video effects he applies are really awesome.

The CJAM 1000 is a powerful advanced jamming device that utilizes unique and intelligent techniques interfering with communication along up to 3 frequency ranges specified by the customer. Choice bands include Cellular, GSM 900, Paging, PCS, Wi-Fi or any other Microwave frequency.
justin: Their slogan is "solving cellular communication problems worldwide" - obviously other people communication is a problem. And doesn's this break the law?
gareth: It probably is in the UK, considering using an FM transmitter is illegal there as well.
Marcus: This sort of thing has been around for a while - used in cinemas and restuarants etc.
Justin:
Watch Quicktime files with Quicktime Alternative - without having to install such a massive player and iTunes and all that bunkum.
gareth: You can extract the individual installers for itunes and quicktime out of the hybrid installer Apple has been pushing in order to skirt the the need to install iTunes, but in the end Alternative is much more streamlined.
justin: They do actually offer Quicktime standalone, but it takes some findin'.
Chris:

It’s Apple’s 30th birthday next month; and they’re planning something big to mark the occasion.
chris: Hmmm, I'm not so sure - if you follow the link to Google Earth, there's a very similar looking object a few miles to the south east. Why make two? And why make something that onlt the crew of the ISS will actually be able to look at?
On the other hand, Pizza Hut putting an advert the size of Texas on the Moon, that we could have all seen - that was *so* last century...

Something Awful's Pretentious Video Games Photoshop contest is one of the more amusing things they've done.
justin: Yeah, I was gonna post that - I liek the Mario Art Critic one.
Justin:
Cuss Control was touted as the Something Awful 'awful link of the day' - but it's not that bad. I get accused of swearing alot, because I swear alot - it's nice to have a site that puts some of the arguments against swearing so eloquently.

BT goes after broadband gluttons - "If a small percentage of users are using far in excess of others, it distorts the amount of bandwidth we have to buy, which increases the costs for everyone".

Some demonstrations of Ageia's PhysX dedicated physics processor. It looks pretty awesome, the direct comparison with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is especially good.

The new Star Wars TV series could be good.
chris: I'd really like to believe that, but I can't. Just can't. The words "jumping the shark" spring to mind.
I'd also really like to believe that someone will make a great film out of Alfred Bester's Tiger Tiger, (a.k.a. The Stars My Destination) because it's an amazing book. But, who knows...

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, has stepped into the controversy between religious fundamentalists and scientists by saying that he does not believe that creationism - the Bible-based account of the origins of the world - should be taught in schools.
gareth: That's that then.
Justin:
Hooray for France - although I'm a bit sceptical of the legality of what they are doing, the French are debatign whether or not to force music players to be able to play any type of digital music rather than being locked to a format such as iTunes or WMA
Marcus: I predict that either the law will be overturned, or Apple will skulk out of France rather than make interoperable proprietory DRM.
Marcus: But the big companies opening up their DRM standards is a nice dream.
Justin:
Pre-owned APACHE AH64 A / D Longbow American Spec
justin: Impress your friends - mow down your enemies.
Marcus: They say that piloting a helicopter is like riding a motorbike but with the extra up/down dimension - so I guess it's the next logical commuting upgrade for me. And at a starting price of £10,000,000 too - a snip.
justin: Who said that?
gareth: You know what's scary? Some celebrities could afford (or atleast pay) that. Can you imagine Tom Cruise with an Apache?
gareth: Actually wait no, Tom Cruise doesn't have his helicopter license does he? I think John Travolta does though.
justin: He has a civil pilots licence, definentely for a 747.
Gareth:

Jason Brass has a Power Mac G5 Quad with dual 30-inch monitors and eight gigs of ram. I am very very jealous; although not a mac user, so I guess that helps a bit. He mentions in his bio on his site that he was a previous Apple employee, so I'm guessing he's got an obscene discount with them (he lists all his computers: Power Mac G5 Quad, MacBook Pro, PowerBook G4s (12/15/17-inch), Mac mini, Xserve G5)

This is really scary: Pentagon plans cyber-insect army. What's even more disturbing is the small list of instances where the Americans previously used animals in warfare - such as "Attach a bomb to a cat and drop it from a dive-bomber on to Nazi ships. The cat, hating water, will 'wrangle' itself on to enemy ship's deck. In tests cats became unconscious in mid-air".

gareth: Hehe: "Matt and Trey did not go on to say that Hayes should probably move to France with the rest of the pussies, and that, seriously, your religion is based on UFO’s trapped in volcano prisons. Good luck with the sanity."
gareth: That's from a different site (the BBC wouldn't have terrible punctuation)

When Chinese-Taiwanese relations are as complicated as this example of 'panda politics', and there is a US and EU arms embargo on China, how come the US can sell weapons technology to Taiwan?
gareth: Well, if you can secure that little bit more funding for your ridiculously massive weapons and tech research facility, why the hell not? Weapons leading to war, you say? Why, war is profit!
Gareth:
Swarm intelligence — the collective behavior of independent agents, each responding to local stimuli without supervision — can be used to understand and model phenomena as diverse as blood clotting, highway traffic patterns, gene expression, and immune responses, to name just a few.
gareth: What I'm especially proud of is the fact that this guy does his work at the University of Calgary (in Alberta, Canada), which I am attending.
Gareth:
A Yahoo article on the latest James Bond movie, Casino Royale, is to have "no Q, no Moneypenny and only a little bit of gadgetry". That could be interesting.
gareth: It's being directed by Martin Campbell though, the same guy who directed Goldeneye - my favourite Bond movie. So I have atleast a little confidence it should be good.
Marcus:
"Creationist theories about how the world was made are to be debated in GCSE science lessons in mainstream secondary schools in England."
Marcus: Apparently it's so that "candidates [can] understand the social and historical context to scientific ideas both pre and post Darwin's theory of evolution"
Marcus: But it still sounds dangerously close to a bad idea.
gareth: In the same vein: 15 answers to creationist nonsense
justin: I have to disagree with Marcus - it seems as if they are trying to present classes in a balanced way - but I doubt teachers will be anything less than dismissive of creationism though. I don't think it's a 'bad idea' to show multiple positions on an argument.

"You might never lose another sock once radio frequency ID tags are used everywhere."
Marcus: Yay! I'm sold! Perhaps they can figure out a way to tie RFID into those new ID cards too, so if I lose a sock it can be instantly identified as mine and returned to whatever location I'm currently in by a helpful sinister government agent person?
Marcus: It's good to see a positive use for RFID outlined for once, instead of all that boring tedious stuff about how it's the thin end of the wedge in kicking the f*ck out of our civil liberties.
Marcus: They can probably use RFID to stop terrorists and paedophiles too.
Marcus: Or find their socks anyway.

Lacie's Brick Desktop external hard drives look like Lego bricks hit by some kind of sinister enlarging ray. But stick two red bricks together and before you can say "what the f*ck was Duplo all about?", you've got 1TB of storage.
Marcus:
BBC News: "Google is planning a massive online storage facility to encompass all users' files."
Marcus: Here's the post from the blogger who spotted it.
Marcus: Direct quote from the "leaked" PowerPoint presentation: "Theme 2: Store 100% of User Data
With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including: emails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc).
We already have efforts in this direction in terms of GDrive, GDS, Lighthouse, but all of them face bandwidth and storage constraints today."
Marcus: Speaking of storage, I just received an external Lacie 250GB external hard drive, along with an additional one I didn't pay for. I'm assuming this is because eBuyer wanted to say sorry for originally delivering an 80GB one by mistake. Only logical explanation.
gareth: Yeah, I just found a 60gb harddrive in my coat pocket. Seems like storage is cheap these days.
Justin:
This is totally random - but I have a random Wikipedia page button, and it took me to this entry about RuPaul - there's a photo of him as a man. Wierd.
gareth: Hehe, I like this quote:
RuPaul: I do not impersonate females. How many women do you know who wear seven-inch heels, four-foot wigs, and skintight dresses?
Aimie: He's a bloke in But I'm A Cheerleader. Sounds an apalling film but is actually not too bad in a trashy kind of way.

How to perform an abortion. Not for the faint-hearted. (via)

Aimie: Ok. That *is* a disturbing site - even for someone like me who deals with guts and gore every day.
Marcus:
"All Britons applying for a passport from August will receive an electronic version of the document. As well as a conventional photograph, it will include a chip which will store the individual's facial biometric and other security advances."

justin: I want them to implant the chips into our brains.
Justin:

Robotic 'pack mule' displays stunning reflexes
justin: Interesting video.
gareth: That's really creepy and really impressive. I wonder how long it can last on it's battery?
gareth: I guess this means that we are one step closer to AT-ATs.
justin: It looks like a cat on a hot tin roof - or at least some surface it is not completely comfortable with.
gareth: Haha, you're right - especially how it seems to keep the legs moving even while stationary.

Snopes on Disney films with dodgy content.
: This week I actually had someone at work ask me to check Snopes to see if an email she'd received (it included the line "forward this to everyone you know!!!") was a hoax or not. Snopes said it was indeed a hoax, and she deleted it without sending it on. Perhaps the tide is turning...
justin: Did the email say she would never fall in love if she didn't forward it on? Did Snopes tell her she was an idiot?
Marcus: Hint for the less well-informed: if an e-mail tells you to "forward this to everyone you know!!!", it is guaranteed to be a load of bollocks.
Marcus: You will only annoy people by sending it to them, and if I am one of those people I will bite your legs off. Hard.
justin: Agreed - now forward this link to everyone you know otherwise all the things you are quietly anxious about will come true.

"The art of De Touch explores the manipulation of images related to the human form."
gareth: Some of these are really, really good. They allow you to see just how much is hidden with good ol' Photoshop.
justin: It's interesting how much is covered up by Photoshop and how much more sanitised images can become - but it's also obvious from looking at this - that often 'the media' guilds the lily and goes too far to clean up someone oro something that is beautiful already.
justin: Here's an exercise for you - next time you are in a newsagent or supermarket and see the women's magazine section - de focus your eyes a little so you can see all the covers at once - now notice how every eyeball and every tooth is pure white. Nothing gets published 'as is'.
gareth: Very good point about them covering up something that is beautiful already, they are really killing the uniqueness.
Gareth:

Marcus:
A video and transcript has been obtained by the AP which clearly shows - before the hurricane hit New Orleans - President Bush being told how Katrina was really going to f*ck things up, despite later White House claims that he wasn't given the information.
Marcus: What I really don't get is that notoriously Bush-supporting Fux News is taking a similar line to the BBC, clearly highlighting that Bush lied and f*cked things up, whereas CNN, supposedly a "serious" news outlet, has become some kind of news hippy, preferring to point out that "governments at all levels were ill-prepared for the storm" and not really criticising Bush much at all.
justin: Remember when the Guardian did that thing where UK citizens could write to people in swing states telling them not to vote for Bush? and they got all pissed off about it? I wonder if we can do something similar where we write back saying "I told you so".
justin: From now on, here's a good rule of thumb for Americans: If someone appears to be a complete idiot, the chances are they ARE a complete idiot - but not only that, it's better not to take the risk of making them president.
Gareth:
Spore, an upcoming game from Will Wright and Maxis (creators of The Sims), has me giddy. Thirty five minutes of gameplay footage here.
Wikipedia: Spore is, at first glance, an evolution game: the player molds and guides a single-celled species across many generations, until it becomes intelligent, at which point the player begins molding and guiding a society into a spacefaring civilization.
gareth: Not to mention how they've moved back to algorithmic level generation - no preset maps with little to no replay value here!
andy: Reminds me of simlife on my old IBM 386 with 2mb of ram. The only Maxis game i could run.
Memories....

BBC on filesharing
BBC: File sharing is not theft. It has never been theft. Anyone who says it is theft is wrong and has unthinkingly absorbed too many Recording Industry Association of America press releases.

Marcus: I'd have to say this is NSFW, more so if you have sound - there's a "pumping" bassy soundtrack.
gareth: Pumping indeed
