Facebook’s continuous crusade to ‘improve’ their site has led them to come up with an obviously standard but unwise (given the site’s purpose) feature, which is to have Facebook Usernames in the URL. In other words, your profile will now have an address of facebook.com/firstname.lastname The catch? You can’t change the address once you set [...]
This isn’t exactly a search engine but it’s a nifty tool when you’ve already found what you’re looking for (or something close) but want to check out other sites sporting the same information. It’s called SimilarSites and works using page rankings – quite a homage to Google’s Similar Pages – where you type in the [...]
I was watching Microsoft’s E3 Press conference (yes Geek, rest your balls) and I was blown away at the possibilities of their new gadget even if the technology itself is not that new (but less refined).

Although it’s an old tech demo for a game (forget lip-syncing), I like it because it is atmospheric and draws you in for the few minutes of footage. Enjoy.
