Mr Schofield regrettably separated from his wife because of digg blinds.
“It was coming anyway?, Mr Schofield told us, but my design choice for the blinds was pretty much the nail in the coffin. She doesnt understand the intense geek in me. And anyway, the only one shed even heard of was Youtube?”

So he did. As soon as the email came through, the office (the majority of whom obviously spend far too much time on the internet) erupted in a wave of confused laughter. Why? We’ll let you look at the results below. These are…

Social news sites like Digg and Mixx could then be grouped with social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn. In any case, it is a simple term to group social? sites together. So, without further ado, here is the required reading list for people interested in social media:

As I said in my previous post, these are blogs that have a significant amount of content about social media. There are plenty of blogs I am not listing because they are about general technology or software development and tend to dabble in social…

Breasts move on three different axes: from side to side, front to back, and up and down. The most motion is generated on the vertical axis. Naturally, the bigger the breast, the more momentum it generates. You can generate enough energy to power an iPod.

Of course, even a bra that perfectly maximized motion (without sacrificing support and comfort) would be useful to me only if there were a way to turn that motion into energy. For a primer on how to do that, I turned to Professor Zhong Lin…

What would the best geek epitaph be? A question fertile for outrageous humor, witty comments, and downright geeky cheekiness. Here are some beaming examples:

Royal HeHe2-ness is a world where free software is valued, nay sought for!! While proprietary software is banished, degraded and ridiculed till the end of times.

That photo of 11 weirdos in '70s clothes you may have seen on the Internet really is the original Microsoft team, snapped Dec. 7, 1978, on the eve of the company's move from Albuquerque, N.M., to Seattle. Almost 30 years later, a few weeks before Bill Gates's departure from Microsoft, the group (looking better) reconvened.

“The photo really does capture a moment of time and the spirit we had in the office,” says cofounder Paul Allen (bottom right), now a media and sports mogul. Signing up for a little company in the then unknown field of PC…

It’s uncomfortable when this should be the main priority!

Time is round. Space is curved. Why should your mouse be linear? Plenty of applications require you to do more than scroll up and down. Mighty Mouse offers 360-degree scrolling capability, thanks to its Scroll Ball, perfectly positioned to…

A well-written article on the design, philosophy, and culture of Linux, written for the Windows convert struggling with his new operating system.

A motorbike driver who tries to corner a car by leaning over is going to run into problems very quickly. And Windows users who try to use their existing skills and habits generally also find themselves having many issues. In fact, Windows…

OLPC founder Nick Negroponte just unveiled the next-gen XO Laptop, and it totally blows the original away. Smaller and more like a foldable book, it does away with the keyboard and trackpad to go totally touchscreen?that’s right, dual touchscreens, straight out of the future, like a kid’s book in Minority Report.

Enhanced Book Experience - Dual-touch sensitive displays will be used to enhance the e-book experience, with a dual-mode display similar to the current XO laptop. The design provides a right and left page in vertical format, a…

No great surprise, but the numbers in a new study show mathematicians are viewed as geeks, a stereotype that keeps students from studying math or using the subject later in life.The researchers suggest there is a link between popular culture’s image of nerdy mathematicians and a lag in math students.

Nearly all participants, both math-friendly students and those who steer clear of equations, think of a mathematician as a white male with white hair, who is obsessed with the number-laden subject to the exclusion of any social life. For…

It's well known that failed hard drives can be recovered, but few people actually use a recovery service because they're expensive and not always successful. Geek.com has an article walking through a drive recovery handled by DriveSavers. The recovery team did not give away many secrets, but they did reveal a number of insights into the process.

Still not believing that it was time to throw in the towel, I remembered a company that specializes in recovering dead hard drives: DriveSavers. I dialed them up and after answering a series of questions, I was quoted a range with an estimated…
