Touch Screen interface in linux

i just love the way the bloke in this is whistling away like “ooooh yeah im so coool look at me with my laid back computing attitude” until he knocks somthing over and shows his inner, true, deep twatheadedness.

the actual usefulness of the technology shown in the video is unusually high for one of my posts too.

My Xbox360 starts its own blog

yet again i find myself starting a post with the words….this is odd.
i now have on the side bar a section titled ‘Delta Kilos xbox can blog‘
this is a feed to a website powered by http://www.360voice.com.
basically its just a automated system that when my xbox is on and
connected to live (i.e always) it blogs away automatically to its website with what its been up to. mines pretty sparse at the moment as
it takes a couple days to form itself but it is a weird enough
idea/feature that i had to include it.

Xbox live hits some serious figures.

The Xbox PR team just realesaed some interesting data. Check these numbers out!

• The Xbox Live Marketplace just passed 50 million downloads. That is double the 25 million mark from just three months ago.
• In
  the first week of Madden ’07 releasing, Xbox Live members unlocked over
  600,000 achivements and hosted more then 2-million hours of Madden
  gameplay.
• ‘Texas Hold ‘em’ set a one day record as the
  fastest download item every on the Marketplace. There were over 100
  downloads a minute in the first 24-hours of release.

Other Xbox Live statistics:

• More than 50 million downloads of gaming and entertainment content from Xbox Live Marketplace to date
• Over
  2 billion hours spent on Xbox Live by gamers across the globe since the
  launch of the Xbox Live online gaming network in November 2002
• More than 60 percent of Xbox 360 owners are connected to Xbox Live
• 1,300,000 text and voice messages are sent via Xbox Live every day. Currently totaling half a billion sent
  messages between the Xbox Live community per year, this figure is set
  to explode with the launch of the Xbox Live Vision camera on September

Absolutly crazy man does star-trek vs the simpsons

words can not even begin to explain this

why?

I wouldnt of belived it if daniel halliday hadnt seen it.

all hail the MC ARABIA burger from the king of capitalism. McDonald’s.

i dont know why but i just couldnt believe it when i heard this existed so did some research on the net. it exists and seems to be a normal burger wrapped in pitta to make it oh so plainly Arabic! found this news piece on net

JEDDAH, 5 March 2003 — In a bid to salvage its business
interest in the Middle East, McDonald’s has introduced a new
sandwich for the Arab consumer: McArabia.

The new sandwich,
which continues MacDonald’s tradition of catering to local
markets, is made of Arab bread, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes and
Arab sauce.

In a year which, according to a McDonald’s
representative who spoke to Arab News, saw a sharp fall in the
company’s profits and the laying off of workers including many
Saudis, the once undisputed fast food king is working hard on catering
to a market that is looking for alternatives to US products in the
current international political climate.

ironically, the main ingredients that make up the new McArabia are of
international origin. The Arab bread for the sandwich is imported from
Britain. The chicken is currently being imported from Malaysia.

unbelivable. firstly there actaully referd to as ARAB BREAD and ARAB SAUCE. secondly there made in malasia and britan alike. authentic arabic food.

more pictures of the fine authentic delicacy can be found HERE

UPDATE: there is also a chicken variety. I repeat A CHICKEN McArabia

thats not a poster…THIS IS A POSTER

e-paper its coming..slowly

You’ve heard of e-ink devices, like the Sony Librie,
or e-reader, or whatever. But you’ve never seen a real working
prototype of an electronic reader based on a flexible e-paper, that
rolls up like a scroll. And you’ve never seen a video of said device
being explained by a Norwegian named Hans to an Austrailian guy named
Max. Whatever, I don’t care what his real name is. What we
care about is the prototype’s 5-inch screen that runs at 320 by 240
pixels. The screen, by E-Ink corporation, only uses power to change
states, so battery life is measured in page turns

Roy Keane. TIT

After receiving rejections from Bono, The
Pope, Val Doonican and Martin McGuinness, Niall Quinn looks to have
secured the services of Roy Keane as his new head of excuses.

What else could we do than remind you of Roy’s own words of wisdom,
beginning of course with his golden nugget which now has an extra
resonance:

“Shearer’s right, 

I am a prick.”

(Extract from Keane: the autobiography, referring to Keane’s red card at
SJP in 2001 when goaded by Big Al and biting, big style)

Moving on, things haven’t always been all sweetness and (stadium of) light
between Keane and his potential new Chairman:

“And Niall Quinn. 

Who is he, Mother
Theresa?”

(Extract from Keane interview from 2002)

Let’s not forget Roy’s message to former mackem boss
Mick McCarthy:

“Mick, you’re a liar… you’re a f*cking w*nker. I didn’t rate you
as a player, I don’t rate you as a manager, and I don’t rate you as a
person. You’re a f*cking w*nker and you can stick your World Cup up your
arse. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are
the manager of my country! You can stick it up your b*llocks.”

(From the Observer)

(this all stems from Keane’s departure from the Irish World Cup squad
in 2002, amid wrangles over training and what he deemed amateurish preparations)

If Keane is appointed as seems likely, we look forward with great
interest to November 25th, when he’ll take his misfits XI to Molineux for
a face-off with McCarthy:

It promises to be an interesting few hours, if his response to questions
about whether he’d encountered McCarthy since their fall out are anything
to go by:

“Nah. And I hope I don’t. I’d tell him where to go. I wouldn’t go out
of my way to, but if he was passing, like.”

And as for sitting down and having a
drink with him?

“Not in a million years. I hope I don’t come across as bitter and
twisted but that man can rot in hell for all I care. I don’t feel any
guilt about saying that at all because he deserves it. He deserves it.
F*ck him. F*cking tosser.”

(Both from The Observer)

going to be one hell of a season! then again he’l probably not join…hes not THAT big a idiot.
