I don't hate iPods. But I do hate every individual represented in every iPod ad. Digg this.

We don't do cute here at GNF. It just ain't dignified. But wait till you see Admiral Ackbar representin' for the letter 'A' in this Star Wars ABCs series. I mean... he's just so...

Actually, it isn’t but it should be. IMHO the Optimum Online Spanish friendly, beach rap commercial is the most terrifying song to get stuck in your head of all time. “what the hell is he talking about” you say? I refer, of course, to the insidious Rick Roll . If you just clicked on that link you sort of got “Rick Rolled.” The way it really works is someone provides you a link to something you really want to see and BAM you are hit with the elctro-tom intro of Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley instead. To be led to that video against your will is to be Rick Rolled. I firmly believe the I/O Digital Cable song could do more damage. On a completely unrelated note: Lindsay Lohan did it with by a pirate, a ninja, and a monkey... video here.

My ReplayTV (Tivo) Completes Me

Image
My ReplayTV DVR knows what TV I watch, and how much TV I watch, so it also knows I wont be getting any Valentines Day cards. With that in mind, on this loneliest of the Hallmark holidays, it slips me a little reminder that if nothing else my TV loves me.

Starbucks announced today that they are switching from T-Mobile to AT&T and providing free WiFi to their customers for 2 hours a day. Wont be long before we are skipping the line by ordering with our iPhones... Maybe something like THIS! Okay, pretty lame post, but I had that great Laughing Man style screen grab I just had to use.

WE ARE ANONYMOUS (And So Can You)

Image
Unless you spent the last month in a sequestered jury hotel room you probably know that a large and growing group of anonymous “hackers”/internet users/concerned citizens have been waging war against The “Church” of Scientology. They call themselves Anonymous. They are making life miserable for the greedy group of nut jobs through various methods. Some small... like faxing and re-faxing sheets of black paper to all Scientology fax numbers. Some Large... Like protests outside of various Scientology headquarters. So if you plan to organize or join a protest in your area, why not do so with hacker-chic stylish anonymity. Just click on the 2 halves above and print them out, over lap em, mount em and cut off the excess. The result is a replica of the digital mask worn by the ultimate hacker with a cause.... The Laughing Man of Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Fame. I have replaced The Laughing Man’s J.D. Salinger quote “"I thought what I'd do was, I'd prete...

Fax From Your iPhone! For FREE! (Well, For 30 Days)

Image
Faxing from your iPhone is now as easy as 1, 2, 3! A little company called eFax.com exists to help you receive and send faxes from your computer/laptop. The beauty is they have a way to send faxes from your iPhone as well. And it comes in a FREE 30 day trial. 1. Create the text you wish to fax in an email 2. Send that email to the phone number you wish to fax plus @efaxsend.com (ex. 555-555-1212@efaxsend.com) Hmm, I guess its actually as easy as 1, 2. Let me also say that I know damn well this will work on any phone/PDA that can send an email, but I’ll be damned if I am gonna give up all that tasty iPhone traffic. On a side note, a nifty little fax prank that GNF does not condone goes as follows. Get yourself a sheet of black paper. Fax it to someone. They run out of ink. Mean right? So do not do it! On an entirely different subject, if you are interested in Scientology you can contact them at this number (727) 441-8849. Oh, wait never mind. That's their fax number.
