PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
carolinek:
sistermarymartha:
I am spending my New Year’s Eve right here, watching movies, drankin and tumblring away.
Who’s with me?
I’m with ya, kid! This will be the first New Year’s Eve in many years where I am staying in, but I am actually really good with it. I have always had fun on New Year’s but the stress leading up to it is always annoying.
So, tonight I will stay in, watch some...

Official response for Zune 30 Freezing Issue →
Did no one see this coming? Isn’t a leap year bug kinda like “oh, we didn’t see Y2K coming” in 1999?
Greatest Microwave note ever.. →
wearethegeeks:
This note was found on a microwave somewhere in America, and this is why camera phones are the best.
This drives me nuts.
Justifying the iPhone
marco:
Casey Liss debates Verizon-vs.-iPhone:
My wife and I are currently Verizon Wireless users. We’re due to get a $100 credit on new phones at the end of January, thanks to Verizon’s “New Every Two” program.
Unfortunately, things haven’t changed much in that Verizon has (in my opinion) far and away the best network.
I’m not sure how they compare where you live, but in the NYC metro...
3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late

1 // You may need more sleep than you think. Research by Henry Ford Hospital Sleep Disorders Center found that people who slept eight hours and then claimed they were “well rested” actually performed better and were more alert if they slept another two hours. That figures. Until the invention of the...
Reasons Why George Bush's Autobiography Will Never...
shutupinternet:
By the time he’s out of office everyone in America will likely detest him.
Have you heard him speak? Now imagine him trying to spell. George Bush is the the only person in America that could break Microsoft Word.
Dick Cheney will most likely kill George before he can type the name of the Vice President in the opening chapter.
Oliver Stone already made a less-than-compelling...

Results from the iPhone's new rate-on-delete...
marco:
The new rate-on-delete popup in iPhone OS 2.2 has already destroyed the average for Instapaper Free.
Before 2.2, it was a solid 4.5-star average (the same as Instapaper Pro). Since then, very few written reviews in the App Store have been added (about 10 of the 180 total in the U.S. store). And if you look at the written reviews (sort by Most Recent), they’re overwhelmingly positive,...
Before I capsize. Before I overcorrect. Righting the ship now.
Vin Diesel Is The Greatest Actor of Our Generation
shutupinternet:
Forget giving Heath Ledger the post-humorous Oscar for his role in The Dark Night, give it to Vin Diesel. Why? Vin Diesel’s got balls. Cajones.
Vin’s not afraid to make movies like Pitch Black and The Fast and the Furious, movies that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan would stay far away from. He knows that his movies aren’t big name blockbusters like The Green Mile and Gigli but he gives...
What WWE champion Mick Foley thought of The... →
guy:
And everyone involved—Rourke, Aronofsky, independent wrestler Necro Butcher, stunt coordinator Douglas Crosby—deserves credit for creating a memorable midmovie bloodbath, a fight involving broken glass, barbed wire, a staple gun, and other implements. Difficult to watch but impossible to forget, the scene shows not only how far Randy has fallen but what lengths he’s willing to go to in order...
The most blatant Tumblr ripoff I've ever seen →
inky:
livejamie:
There’s even a black dashboard link in the top right.
I made an account and tried it out for a few minutes. It felt like I’d returned to those dark days in which MORE CLICKS = MORE PROFIT.
Imagine someone made an exact replica of Tumblr, and thought, “Now, how can I make this bloody impossible to use?”
Pyooblr. It sounds like a site for sharing indecent photos.

This made my day. Because I always wanna punch people it the face. Now I have more reasons.
This is AWESOME!
People 'still willing to torture' →
marc:
science:
Some scientists repeated variations of the original Milgram experiment, which tests how far people are willing to go hurting others at the request of an authority. Unsurprisingly, human nature hasn’t changed: most people will submit to authority with little moral regard for the victim’s suffering.
We’d all like to think we wouldn’t do this, but looking back at human history it is...

Why we yawn →
guy:
If your head is overheated, there’s a good chance you’ll yawn soon, according to a new study that found the primary purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature.
The more I write about yawning the more I yawn.
So work causes my brain to overheat. Probably from walking someone through locating Internet Explorer on his PC… for 25 minutes.
(He never did find it)
Lykke Li
Lykke Li is awesome and will rock you softly, then harder, then leave you wanting more.
Even better, thanks to the fantastic musical impulse buy of my baby we are going to see her in January.

brocatus:
Users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer have been warned of a flaw that could let hackers gain access to their computers and steal personal data, and told them to swap to a rival browser.
No gloating here, just spreading the word…
Hasn’t this story been rewritten a couple times every year since 2001??? When can this stop being news?
GPOYW Theme PSA
yourdp:
With tomorrow being the middle for week and more commonly know as Wednesday means that GPOYW is fast approaching. The GPOYW committee (me) has decided that this weeks theme will be based on the second best holiday movie ever Home Alone. A Christmas Story is #1 one obviously.
So what I’d like to see is your best Kevin McCallister “aghghghrhrhhgh” face. Easy enough where everyone home...

topherchris:
Okay, so all the NYC tumblr people are at a burger joint right now. Think of everything we could do while they aren’t watching.
For starters, let’s invade Brooklyn and fuck up Williamsburg. That’s right. By the time they get back, it’ll be filled with nothing but Applebee’s, Walmarts, and sports bars. Fuck yeah!
Viva la Revolution!

Things that feel outdated but sadly aren't
marco:
Discs of all types. Why do I need to take this plastic disc out of this plastic case and insert it into this complex, loud, clunky mechanical drive mechanism every time I want to use it instead of copying it to a hard drive once or just downloading it in the first place?
DVD menus. Why do I have to wait through this crap that I can’t skip? Why was one of the most successful...
