Microsoft explains bland new Windows logo

With apologies to "Love is Blue"

With the introduction of this logo, now we can do things like "Blue, Blue, my World is Blue, Blue is my World 'cause Windows 8 My Data."

Stare at the the blue boxes long enough, and the lines separating them will start to fill in with the blue color. Windows is all illusion!

Facebook login page still leaks sensitive info

For What it's worth

Yahoo! email has a similar response. If you type in a valid user ID and an incorrect password, Yahoo! responds with a message that says either the ID or password is incorrect and asks you to try again. On the other hand, if you incorrectly type your user ID, Yahoo comes back and tells you 'This ID is not yet Taken. Are you trying to register a new account?"

The results can also be used to verify a user account.

Amazon punters go mad for 'Laptop Steering Wheel Desk'

Steering wheel desk

After looking at the picture of this thing at Amazon, I've determined that the picture has the steering wheel rotated 180 degrees in order to give the desk the necessary clearance to mount (airbag at the bottom of the steering wheel is the normal position of the steering wheel.) This means that anyone using the desk must be going around in big circles, so this is obviously only useful in roundabouts.
