THIS IS THE BEST PIECE OF PUNCTUATION I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. I CAN'T WAIT TO USE THIS IN REAL LIFE.

The Exclamation Comma. “Just because you’re excited about something doesn’t mean you have to end the sentence.”
That’s true.

Just a matter of time until this isn't just street law anymore.
Cool hack. See bellow.

This just made my morning.
Translation for my non-nerd friends:
+ camera reads license plates + text of license plate is stored in a database + this guys covers his license plate w/ special text that hacks databases (“drop database table”) + … so if the camera reads this guy’s license plate and tried to add the text to the database, there’s a chance the database gets deleted (“dropped”) if it’s not properly protected + ha!
For another nerd-version of this, see this XKCD comic.
Since when was Facebook smart enough to know the name of the new Kanye West album? Spooooky!
But seriously - this is the smart kind of functionality we should have been building all along. Let's watch as Facebook pushes social networks towards this smart sharing instead of just "pix with fri3nds", only for Google to then write better algorithms and take over the space.
Until then - anyone hear the new Kanye? Is it worth getting?
If you're still following along, you'll know that I haven't really been posting regularly for a while here.
All new posts tech/otherwise related will now be posted on Google+. Feel free to drop me in a pundit circle and follow along in the future! Until then, keep saving the fun!
Take three minutes and read shit flowchart. It's accurate. Follow it. I just signed up for Foodspotting - might shut down my Food Tumblr. Those are the facts.

When you think you know what heavy hitting business models are out there, you should wait a few weeks and check back with Amazon.com.
Today, they've announced that all Amazon Prime members will now be able to access hundreds of movies and TV shows on Instant viewing service.
Fortunately, I still have my Amazon Prime activated from back when they gave all college students a free year. In quickly clicking through the Prime free selection, I can't say there's too much stuff I want to be watching at this moment.
What is more interesting though, is the continuing fragmentation of existing movie/TV distribution channels. I believe the average college student will move out and not re-up on their cable subscription. Who in their right mind would pay over a hundred dollars a week for access to shows that are only played on certain channels on certain times?
Instead, I think we'll continue to see large independent subscription models, with all you can eat packages, tiered by quality of content. Just look at other providers like Hulu, Netflix, Cable on Demand, and now Amazon. The real fun will be if Amazon unleashes a video Kindle-style device. Then we'll see some real flares against the iTunes store and the iPad.
Just a matter of time until color eInk or an alternative is perfected, and computing speeds get that much faster...
Britney is back on my monitor, getting all sorts of weird. Is she anywhere close to Gaga. Not a chance. In my opinion, I don't think her product placement even comes close!

Hollywood is important to tomorrow, but not really...The biggest industry in [the music] company is the computer company. Apple...The RCA era is done...Let's call it what it is.

I'm in "the cloud!"
I had a bit of a paradigm shift just now.
I was telling my friend, Rob, about the Chrome notebook which I just got today. When he asked me "How do you use programs?" I joyfully exclaimed, "There are no programs! It's the all just the internet!"
We continued to talk, then I told him that even MS Office has a web version of Office, and that I sync my OneNote notebooks. Then he said something that oddly upset me. He asked, "by sync you mean put them in the cloud?" For some reason, the idea of my notebooks now living in some other place, some "cloud" weirded me out.
To clarify, by putting them in the cloud, he meant being able to access them without locally storing them. I guess the reason this bugs me is because this is an action I've been doing for a while. I guess it bugs me because it is something we've been living through and don't arrive at. You don't download and install "Internet 3.0: Cloud Edition", but rather "the cloud" is just a buzz word of today and label of tomorrow.
From GMail, to Netflix, to Dropbox, to practically everything in-between, I'm already in the cloud. The only thing that I do which aren't always in the cloud is specific content consuming (it's easier to get around certain timing/legal restrictions) and Pro Audio work. That being said - it's a specific/professional field, so who cares!?
Hello cloud, you're here to stay.
Yea, I might have heard about this because of a claim that this is copyright infringement, but I have to say it's pretty neat. I always am interested in going beyond our current systems, aka how can we type faster, aka how can we communicate easier?
I still think full QWERTY keyboard is quick enough for me, but would love suggestions from other approaches?

What a mysterious package....
Apparently when you download Silverlight and stream Netflix, they ask you if you want to keep the video full screen when maximized. I'm talking multiple monitor action, with maximized video on one and me typing on the other.
For some weird reason, perhaps a change to the registry, but now not only do my Quicksilver Netflix videos stay maximized, but so do my Flash YouTube videos! This is quite a happy day, as FlashHacker has not been updated for about a year and no longer works.
The little things.
You might have heard of the tragedy of the commons... Well I think this video highlights some things which could highlight some of the possible triumphs of the commons. While some might fear this Big Brother inspiring future, I hope and believe that after working together, we not might but will move past where we are right now and achieve a higher quality of life not just for the elite, but for all peoples.

College students are far more likely to use Twitter than are other segments of the U.S. population: While 8 percent of American adults who go online use the short-burst messaging service, the proportion for full-time or part-time college students who go online is 18 percent.

In other news: college students are the most bored segment of the population, with thirty five percent falling asleep in class at least once per week.
