In other animal related news, real dog versus SONY AIBO; "Can a dog tell the difference?".

 
Uh oh, those noble little hiveminded, collaborative ants are not so unselfish after all; Nepotism uncovered in ant colonies.

 
Computers on wheels; Good article on the Ten most technologically advanced cars.

 
Min blog er listet under "Kultur" i Jubii's BlogGuide. Ka' det nu oss' pass'?

 
Finally, a good article about us introverts; Caring for your inner introvert
The worst of it is that extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves.

 
And finally it's here; The USB Toothbrush.

 
Found a nice blog today, looks very promising. It's kept by Alex Pang, check it out. Oh, and the new Danish/Indian Fanta site is pretty cool too...

 
If you (for some unknown reason) haven't seen the latest in Japanese teen underwear fashion, here it is.

 
Proud to report that tveskov.com is the second hit when you Google for "LEGO LL Cool J".

 
The highly trained PerversionTracker staff locates the very worst of Mac software. We search the web for 15 minutes a day — so you don’t have to!

 
Ser ud til at min.jubii.dk kan være et lækkert og nyttigt tool (Hvis ellers det funkede på Mac...). Men jeg vil til gengæld checke Newsmonster ud ved lejlighed.

 
Så er der satire over Pepsi-Sellout poppedrengene Nik & Jay (der iøvrigt taler et værre dansk end selv Vigga "Zulu" Svensson).

 
Godt citat fra P1 lige nu;

Enhver idiot der kan tælle til 90 kan blive politisk journalist i Danmark. Og for tiden er det ikke engang nødvendigt at kunne tælle til 90...

Hmmm.

 
Straight outta Orwell; Ready.gov fuels the fear-fest in the US to the MAX.

[Update. As expected, satire strikes, fast and hard...]

 
Surprisingly well thought out thoughts on the Instant Messenging revolution from Forrester.

 
Hvad sagde Anette til Casper da han var på vej ud af døren? -Husk lige T... Sjovt Ikk'?

 
Hvis du virkelig vil skille dig ud fra det omliggende samfund, så prøv en Netscape browser... (Hvis du bare gerne vil spilde din tid, så deltag i den "gode" gamle hvilken-browser-er-bedst debat...)

Citat;
Netscape 6.x og 4.x blev i fjerde kvartal brugt af henholdsvis 1,1 og 1,2 procent af brugerne, mens norske Opera kun blev brugt af 0,1 procent af de europæiske brugere.

 
On reading this report about the recent Slammer Worm;
Propagation speed was Sapphire's novel feature: in the first minute, the infected population doubled in size every 8.5 (±1) seconds. The worm achieved its full scanning rate (over 55 million scans per second) after approximatly three minutes, after which the rate of growth slowed down somewhat because significant portions of the network did not have enough bandwidth to allow it to operate unhindered. Most vulnerable machines were infected within 10-minutes of the worm's release.

I simply can't help thinking about this good ol' Terminator 2 quote;

Terminator:The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

Fun things ahead for sure. Stay tuned for the next worm to hit. Hard. The Net has not yet had its Chernobyl but we're getting closer.

 
One of the few sites which haven't changed at all over the past few years is FuckedCompany.com

 
Så er Hr. Bove-Nielsen på banen med weblog og ny bog; Corporate Kindergarden. Interessant citat fra første kapitel;
Mange mennesker slår deres kreativitet ihjel – eller får den kvalt under opvæksten. Dette kan illustreres ved hjælp af resultaterne af den test, som George Land i 1968 udviklede for NASA til at screene kreative medarbejdere. Testen blev senere anvendt på 1600 børn i femårs alderen. De samme børn fik testen igen som 10-årige og som 15-årige. Senere blev en tilsvarende test kørt på 280.000 voksne. Resultaterne var opsigtsvækkende.

    Alder    Kreativitetspotentiale
    5           98 %
    10          30 %
    15          12 %
    Voksne   2 %

Joichi Ito writes about Emergent Democracy. The conclusion;
We must make spectrum open and available to the people, resist increasing control of intellectual property, and resist the implementation of architectures that are not inclusive and open. We must encourage everyone to think for themselves, question authority and participate actively in the emerging weblog culture as a builder, a writer, a voter and a human being with a point of view, active in their local community and concerned about the world.

 
Everybody loves Google, right? Wrong.

 
Hr. Olsen har "lige læst i Samvirke" om en fætter fra IBM og det er jo meget fint. Men det var altså 28. September. Kom nu Jesper, opdatér, inden du får den knapt så kendte not-updated-for-six-months-mini-blog award...

[Update. OK, ingen award denne gang. Så check Jespers site ud .]

 
Nyt nummer af Jubii Sjove Links er online her.

 
There's no "I" in "Team" and there's no "L" in "EGO".

 
Jeg her en rejse-webside om Egypten, og får cirka en gang om ugen en mail i stil med nedenstående som kom igår;
hej med dig, jeg tænke om du ikke kunne finde nogle ting for mig på nettet og skrive om hvad du ved om Egypten jeg laver nemlig en opgave om Egypten så nogle fact. ville være godt
Hrrrmff, ungdommen nuomstunder. Tror de unge mennesker virkelig at de bare kan få os andre til at arbejde gratis for dem? Find dog selv jeres facts. Næh, i min tid der måtte vi skam selv slå op i et atlas og der var langt til skole og vi gik i korte bukser gennem snedriverne, for dengang var det rigtig vinter og(forkortet af red.)

 
It makes all the sense in the world for Google to buy Blogger just like Google buying Deja.com was a sweet deal. Congratulations to Evan surely this is good news to all us Blogger users at least as long as Blogger is free of charge.

 
Photoshoppers against Big Brother; political posters 2003.

 
Hr. Ole Kjeld Hansen slutter beskrivelsen af egen weblog med følgende; Ingen gæstebog, animationer, reklamer, hysteriske farver. Kun virkelighed.. Det er muligvis den mest provokerende statement jeg nogensinde har læst på en blog. Hvorfor det forholder sig sådan, skal jeg lige tænke lidt mere over.

 
Sorry, but there is just something wierd and sci-fi'ish about this headline from CNN; Sick animals may have licked shuttle debris. Like some twisted Philip K Dick short story title.

 
Hold da fast hvor det bare kører for Arriva for tiden. Det blir ikke nogen picnic at lave brandbuilding for Arriva, når tiden mest går med brandslukning...

 
Gamle kolleger med succes; Ghost, nu osse med 007 special effects kan man læse i Jyllandspesten.

 
Hvis du er veganer, blir din baby dummere end du aner.

 
Man må sige at Rocazinos 80er klassiker om Columbia har fået en helt ny mening idag. Scripting.com har den hårdeste dækning af rumfærge-tragedien netop nu.
