Futurama is an amazing TV cartoon. However, it’s more than silly jokes. They actually use precise maths and science in their shows, right down to the minute details.

A recent episode was broadcast which is the same idea i have about how the universe works. How the big bang happens, then forms galaxies, then planets, then life. Life dies, planets die, suns die, galaxies implode, universe implodes. Then suddenly, BANG. Another big bang happens. And the same sequence of events follows.

I like this.

Looks like you’re gunna have to check out the link above, sorry. Or upgrade to a better browser.

Works in all major browsers except any of Internet Explorer browsers.

Because they’re laden with so many features you will never use.

Just look at this motherboard for a PC. It has:
1 x 7.1 Audio I/O [perhaps, but i prefer my external soundcard]
1 x D-Sub [no]
1 x Line In [no]
1 x Line Out [no - why with the 7.1 then]
1 x Mic In [no]
1 x Parallel (LPT) [hell no]
1 x PS/2 Keyboard [yawn no]
1 x PS/2 Mouse [no]
1 x Serial (COM) [no]
1 x 10/100/1000 (LAN) [okay useful]
4 x USB 2.0 [you got me, yes]

Why do PC users always want this crap?

Is what my new Visa cost me:

Now I can live and work in the UK for 5 years.

I’ve found this really handy jQuery plugin for TextMate.

It’s originally written by kswedberg on github, but i’ve compiled it and zipped it for ease of use.

When you plug in a mouse to a Macbook/Pro/Air sometimes you want to ignore the trackpad because, well, you have an external mouse and don’t want to flick around with the trackpad.

Apple have changed this from being in either Mouse/Trackpad under System Preferences, to being in Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad.

Great stuff, Apple.
