If you google the coordinates 52.376552,5.198303 you can see this. Not sure if this is a real Dutch Dead Dumpin’ since it seems like the person would be seen from some of the nearby roads and the guys on the back paths, and I don’t think this object is being dragged FROM the water. But wows.

A country band conspired with a Google Street View driver and recorded an epic music video. And the music’s not that bad either.

This morning I tried to visit and Chrome popped up with this warning. Gotta love the binary blue thief.

Drudge of course makes his fortune from the advertising banners on his page. One advertiser has apparently been delivering malvertising, ad banners that cause redirections to malicious downloads. The problem is however, that Google Chrome is unable to block specific domains and urls, but instead it blocks the landing pages of internet sites that link to these external sites and domains. This is not a good strategy for web blocking and I hope in time that Chrome can get more intelligent and put INLINE blocks in place rather than just blocking the landing urls.

I don’t think people miss her very much given the lulzy images you encounter. Here are a few:

Candlelight Vigil for Whitney

Thanks to Robb for the inspiration!

And it was all velvet-covered. And full of revolt.

This is velvet:

And this is revolution:

Is there such a thing as information overload?

And really? Moron can’t find the music section on his own? And no one uses Google Circles. Instead of calling it “Project Glass” they should call it “Googley Eyes.”

And with more and more companies beginning to outsource their email to G-Mail, it is nice to see that there are alternatives out there.

I’ve used G-Mail for a corporate environment, and it was okay. Best things were the mobility, ease of access and fast searching capability. Drawback is that it was Google, with the ad-targeting, the questionable privacy tactics and the reports of breaches.
