With sensationalist and other rather stupid stories on the rise and fewer good stories by the day, I must say digg is starting to disappoint. As an example here is a story that just made the digg frontpage: “Sneaker makers are seeing big dollars in little feet” … frontpage? really? ok…
Or how about this one I found the other day: [BREAKING] Scientists confirm the use of cheap sunglasses linked to eye cancer, followed by another one a few days later: [BREAKING] Use of flip flops linked to feet cancer… see my point? They’re tagged BREAKING and all. Also, we all know irresponsible exposure to the sun may cause skin cancer.
More examples! how about this one: “Study links hours in front of TV to Obesity” oh, really?? wow I never imagined that slacking on a couch eating away and not getting exercise would get me fat. People, we can do better than this.
I can go on and on forever with examples, but I just want to point out that Digg is rapidly becoming into a stupid news site, it used to be better than this.
Since I upgraded to firefox 3 on both my macs, the ‘full’ version of Widows Live Hotmail will not work, instead we get a plain old html mail app. Umm I’m sure mozilla did not remove javascript support from the browser, to this is a Windows Live issue. Can we have it fixed please?
Well I’ve actually been planning lately to move away from hotmail, I actually don’t know why I still use it, so if they fix it it’s ok and if they don’t I dont really care it will just push me towards dropping the service.
Well, I was kinda disappointed by this year’s WWDC, maybe I expected to much? I find it every year the masses start expecting more and more from Apple. It’s not Macworld anyways, maybe thats the problem. Well, having expressed that I must say now I’m enthusiastic about the iPhone 3G (I know I know… I bitched about the iPhone once) not only the features of the actual device I find cool, but mostly the software SDK, very cool apps in the vicinity!
As some of you may know, I use Vanilla to run one of my websites. Today it occurred to me there was no way to share cool discussions on Facebook, I looked around and found no one had developed an extension for this. So I made my own and I’m sharing it with the world.
You can go check it out at the vanilla extension repository.
Or download it from here.
