The Consumerist’s 3-month sting operation snared a Geek Squad technician stealing porn from our hard drive, and we’ve got the work-safe video and logfiles to prove it.
Sneaky stuff here. I wouldn’t trust a computer help desk of any kind with any length pole.
So Oizys and I stumbled upon a pretty awesome phenomena: people are sequencing songs in Mario Paint. I gave a good portion of my childhood to this game, be it making animations of genitalia flopping around, playing the fly swatting game, or making music. It’s always nice to know I’m not alone!
Clocks by Coldplay on Mario Paint
Street Fighter Two Guile’s Stage on Mario Paint
Mega Man 2 Dr. Wily’s Stage 1 Theme on Mario Paint
Mike Tyson’s Punch Out! on Mario Paint
Michael Jackson’s Punch-Out!
This guy made a few good ones, check them out.

Some peeps even went so far as to create a music tracker by itself; it allows up to 5 notes per beat, 4 times the song lengths, sharps and flats, volumes, and the ability to save unlimited amounts of songs. Mac only, unfortunately, but one can dream!
The Facebook API is a web service which provides a way for external applications to access Facebook content on behalf of Facebook members
At first I though this was a cool idea, but I’m realizing that it’s a bigger then awesome idea. Being able to make APIs for users of Facebook to just click and activate on this social networking site has quite some potential. Imagine if you could do the same with Myspace?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE INTERNETS. Meebo has made an awesome thing. Now anyone can embed a chatroom in their own webpage, free of charge. All it requires of your users is Flash. No more javascript, no more IRC channels. Nothing but flash and a page to host it on.
Again, it’s completely free and powerful and awesome. It has great features like keeping track of links that get pasted into the chat, as well as, if I’m not mistaken, PLAYING YOUTUBE VIDEOS AS THEY GET LINKED INTO THE CHAT ROOM.

About the Newsletters :: Azeroth Advisor
The Azeroth Advisor is an electronic newsletter that is personalized to your World of Warcraft characters. It is delivered to you by email, customized to your character’s current level and status. Our idea is simple: give you the information you need when it’s relevant to you. The Azeroth Advisor is not a cheat guide or a set of walk-throughs; it is insightful guidance that helps you make informed decisions throughout the game.
Kinda interesting; an addon probably updates them somehow, and then they tabulate a newsletter and shoot you info based on what’s going on.
