It might be a piggy back on the uber success of the CareerBuilder.com Monk-e-mail, but it looks like E*Trade has their own version this year with Baby Mail – here are some outtakes from this years E*Trade Super Bowl 2010 spots…
This might be my favorite quote from the article about Facebook developing their own version of PHP 
When we asked what he thought of this style of release – years of secretive development by two lonely coders, likely locked in a deep, dark vault – Crowley said it was typical.
“[Facebook] tends to do giant code dumps,” he said. “Facebook tends to build something big, use it, and open source it.”
Instant Classic! Gotta love it!

I thought this was funny today when searching for a driver for my new Dell display…Dell is inspecting the HTTP USER AGENT for IE to determine if the user can download using the Dell Scan tool – apparently Googlebot can’t download drivers for his 1080P Dell 100ft x 100ft LCD at the Icelandic Google Data Center.

As an owner of a Android based MyTouch 3G, I’m really tempted to get the Nexus One phone from Google. Question for any current owners of the Nexus One – do you like it? Also, does it run smooth? No lag, etc. That’s my one complaint from my 3G MyTouch is the lag of the phone at times. Don’t get me wrong, I love it but sometimes it’s slow. Tempted to root it with a mod’d Android – anyone have feedback that’s rooted their MyTouch?
On another note, here’s a really funny story about the Nexus One handset from Google a la CNET…
You see, the pungently polite people at Reuters were playing with their Nexus One when they noticed something about its built-in voice-to-text feature.
Every time they said something naughty into the phone, the naughty word came out as “####”–and not just “f—.” It even censored the “S” part of BS.
It’s a ####ing good phone, so I’m told.

Here was the last part of the Nexus One ****** story on CNET
One other thing. I have a Croatian friend. If I ever got a Nexus One, I would like to be able to address him by his name. His name is Fuk. Would his name be transcribed, every time, as ###? How sad. – Chris Matyszczyk
Ok, so who knows if you can get this type of retro Nintendo adapter for a Wii classic controller? I’d so buy one if they had one to connect to the Wii Remote!
VERY well said BRABO GATOR!
I absolutely loved seeing this as the ESPN College Basketball Home Page right now – Go Vols!

will that be enough to support the flash of a URL to a national audience of 5M viewers on ESPN during a national sporting event? Time will tell over the next 24-48 hours… details to follow. Be sure to tune in to the Chick-fil-a bowl during the 1st quarter to see my 15 second national television debut on ESPN 7:30 on 12/31/2009.
Will do a full write up over the next week with site stats and details of what a national media mention will do for your website…
An experiment that HP built in web cams can’t follow black people properly. Guess the QA process wasn’t that great over at HP, no?
