Google accused of being unpatriotic…(Don’t feed the trolls)

Posted by Catfish as BS, Computerz, Tech, USAUSAUSA

planet erf is blu Everyone’s seen how Google messes with it’s logo in honor of certain holidays and historic events. Last week, the second “g” in Google was replaced with the image of the Russian satellite Sputnik blasting into orbit. When I saw it, I thought, “oh, that’s neat, I wouldn’t have realized today was an important date in history,” and went about my day. Well, it seems a bunch of conservative sore spots are upset because Google did not have a commemorative logo for Memorial Day and Veterans Day, two US holidays with Military themes to them. It is worth noting that Google displays commemorative Logos for several other US Holidays, as well as several other World Holidays, but none of them are war themed. Here’s a quote from a big baby named Joseph Farah, editor of WorldNetDaily.com, a conservative website:

“When they ignore Veterans Day and Memorial Day, I think they’re telling us something about the way they view America,”

Well good for Google! America has a lot of tellin’ to be told if you ask me. It is total B.S., mindforkingly irritating to me how “conservatives” are so obsessed with war and patriotism, and then pointing out all the pooftahs not waving their “made in China American Flags”. Google is used world wide, by many nations…hello…can you hear me Major Tom? If the conservatives aren’t happy with Commie Luvin’ Google, then they should just go saddle up at the search bar across the way, say over at MSN or at Yahoo. Or maybe they can invent their own search engine, and decorate it with whatever they want and filter out whatever content on the internet they are afraid their kids might see. I’ve tried for an hour, but I just can’t imagine what they’d call it. USeArch.com? gotdotgov.com? unclespam.com?

What they don’t get though, is that The Google, once it finally gains sentience through the Google AI programs, will turn on those who turned on it. Conservatives, listen up, this is for you own safety. Obey the Google, play a long, it might let you live.

Internet 69 Dude

Posted by Catfish as Computerz, Tech, USAUSAUSA, science

No, not that 69…I know it makes sense to lump 69 and the internet together (does it really though?) but what I’m really referring to is the year 1969 and what people thought the internet might be like. For starters, it wasn’t called the internet yet, Al gore was only 21 and not yet finished with law school at Vanderbilt University, let alone in politics (and thus, sorry Mr President…you didn’t “take the initiative to create the internet.”) in 1969 when the government first commissioned ARPANET. Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, ARPANET was the world’s first functioning packet switching system, which most today consider to be the predecessor of today’s Internet. Here’s a nifty little video from 1969 that shows just how people thought computers might connect us…

Surprising how many things they sorta had right isn’t it?(As an aside though, you gotta love that the husband, on his own console, has to pay the bills his wife racks up on her console!)

Seeing how many of the predictions from then actually came into being, it makes me wonder, where do we, as a culture, see the technology of today going, and how will it change our lives? Recent claims of synthetic life being made in a lab for one has the potential in it to entirely transform the way in which humanity will (or will not) move successfully forward in the game of evolution. I for one am entirely excited to be alive in this day and age just to bear witness to the many changes that will occur. I imagine my grandmother must feel a similar sense of awe. So many forms of technology were born during her lifetime. She tells me in her day it cost a nickel to go see a movie. A nickel. That’s how much I made for my first Google Adsense click. It seems not too far off until when time travel will also be part of our reality…at least I hope so. I’ll take that that nickel, and go back in time to treat my Grandma to a movie…er I mean, a picture show.

Google Haxor

Posted by Catfish as Computerz, Tech, neat web thingy

Habitually Bored? A wee bit Pervy? Well here’s hope for you. What I am about to show you will allow you to waste countless hours scouring the internet for web cams that might have some panty cam action. Most of what’ll you actually see are a bunch of parking lots, dark undefined areas, empty offices, warehouses, but also some rather nice outdoor cams, as well as traffic cams. But there are so many, the chance for superpervdom exists, only, if you will dance with it.

There are phrases you can type into google that will bring up literally thousands of web cams that have been left open. I’m not sure if people are ignorant, lazy, or voyeurs, but there are tons of search results that come up and most even let you control the camera’s zoom, pan, and scan. It’s a bit like sifting for gold though. The best I came across was an old dude with a blanket across his lap reading. Ooh la lame.

1) /view/view.shtml axis

2) “adding live video to one of your own pages a very easy task with an AXIS 2100 Network Camera”

3) “Live view - / - AXIS”

4) “Your browser has JavaScript turned off.For the user interface to work effectively”

5) indexFrame.html axis

6) “Live web imaging unleashed”

7) “my webcamXP server!”

8 ) /home/homeJ.html

9) /app/idxas.html

That’s just 10 of them…there’s so so many others I saw. But here’s the thing, if you spend more time on these than those 10 I listed, then you got problems. Might I suggest throwing your computer out of the window right now. Don’t unplug it, just pick it up and heave right now before you waste another second on this crap. I may be lost, but let me use my folly to help you.
