Top 11 signs you're spending too much time on Google

11) Your browser sets Google.com as your home page all by itself

10) You adopt "Bork, bork, bork!" as your mother tongue

8) You answer every question with "Google it!"

6) You can predict the sponsored links

5) At parties, you brag about your boolean constructions

4) If Google is down, you figure you might as well go home

2) You use Google to find your own Web page

1) You turn down a date because she only has three Google hits

Thanks to Dave Deschere, Mark Erickson, Shirley Falls, John H. Guillory, Mark Jass, Dan Kwitchen, Melley, Harald Mondy, Augustin Edmond Paar and K. Prewett for their submissions.



HTML Coding: a dangerous business

A hapless Microsoft developer has introduced perhaps the simplest bug capable of remotely crashing Internet Explorer. Something as simple as <input type crash> will bring any browser to its knees. We've tried to uncover more productive bugs by testing the following, similar HTML tags ... so far with little success.

<input type raise>

<input type vacation>

<input type no-spam>

<input type corner-office>

<input type lakers-win-in-seven>

<input type no-more-american-idol>





Thanks (for Nothing), Slashdot

As publishers, we long for those times when Internet fate smiles upon us, bestowing a mention on slashdot.org, an act that usually precipitates a favorable influx of traffic known lovingly as the "slashdot effect." Unfortunately, not everyone agrees (as the graphic indicates).
