iPod cardboard update

iPod cardboard

today I invented the iPod cardboard. this was mostly because I posted my iPod mini (pink, found in a skip) to Steve Jobs because it's bust. maybe he'll give me a new one

faster firefox

to speed up firefox - here's some ideas...

1. type about:config in the address bar and hit return. then filter to network.prefetch-next. double click it so it says 'false'.
2. right click on the about:config page and select new -> boolean. name it config.trim_on_minimize and make sure the value is set to 'true'.
   
3. on the about:config page, filter to network.http.pipelining. double click it so it says 'true', then double click on network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and enter a higher number like 40. set network.http.proxy.pipelining to 'true', too.
4. lastly, right click anywhere and select new -> integer. name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to “0″.

here and here are where I last read these, and explain them a bit more.

nes

the geek in me says modifying a nes controller
to work as a phone is very, very cool...
what do you think?

turn your ipod into an ipod shuffle

1. get a Post-It note
2. get your iPod
3. put the Post-It note on the iPod

now you can enjoy the ipod shuffle’s cool new features without having to buy a new player

kettles

why do kettles make boiling sounds so long before they boil? is it a ploy by kettle-makers to make you think it's faster than it actually is..?

the nazi question

some nazi hacker's changed the homepage of a friend's football team, felixstowe trades labour club fc to say lots of bad things, e.g:

"everything is the fault of the jews"*

what do you think? is this a strong enough argument for censorship, or not?
