greatest Twitter functionality yet
I just came across this Twitter feed, for Amazon.com… Apparently, built using Amazon.com’s own API, though not run or endorsed by Amazon, by sending a book title or ISBN via Twitter’s direct message function, you can get the current price of the book on Amazon.
This will be fantastic for when I go shopping for […]
The Future of the Internet – And How to Stop it
Last week I mentioned in my article on Google’s Android that Professor Jonathan Zittrain had announced to the world in his new book that gadgets such as iPhones and Xbox’s would threaten the future of the internet. The book, entitled The Future of the Internet – And How to Stop it, has stirred up a […]
one easy step to be a bigger dork
I’m not sure if I think that this is totally cool or totally nerdy, but either way, the black guy (not being racist, you gotta watch the video) is the epitome of nerdy! The rest, well, they’re ingenious, and obviously having fun.
Yes, that’s right, they’re playing Quidditch, straight out of J.K. Rowling’s Harry […]
Air Force Colonel Wants Friendly Botnet
When you hear of spam or cyber attacks taking place, you can bet your bottom dollar that a botnet is at the bottom of it. Simply put, a botnet is a collection of computers – totally unaware of their involvement – being enslaved to do the bidding of someone. From there these zombie computers are […]
MIT Students Demonstrate the Power of Android
The second half of this year is going to bring with it one of the most highly anticipated technology releases, paralleling last year’s release of the Apple iPhone. Google, the internet search and advertising giant, will be releasing its Android operating system for mobile phones.
Google is billing Android as “a software stack for mobile devices […]
DARPA’s Fight on the Internet Begins
One of a number of groups or people attributed with the creation of the internet are now intent on finding ways to protect from cyber attacks. DARPA – the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – have announced their desire to create what they are labeling a National Cyber Range.
Pretty much a firing range for nerds!
The […]
Man’s Mission to… 2000 SG344?
Those who keep track of such things will know that there is a lot of discussion as to where man will head next, in its continuing journey in to space. Bush wants us to head back to the Moon in 2020, and set up a lunar outpost. Experts want us to forget the Moon and […]
Buzz Town Parliament
Well, it was always going to happen, the moment that Larry threw his hat in the ring. Call after call no doubt flooded the Buzz Out Loud offices, from nobodies who wanted to get in on the “Mayor of Buzz Town” joke. It is the way the world works; they think they’re cool, clever, etc. […]
Is Math Discovered or Invented
There isn’t anything quite like a philosophical debate involving scientists. It’s like asking a high school jock to participate in… well, anything academic! They are so far out of their depth, but still carrying all that good old fashioned tons of knowledge and arrogance that come with being a scientist.
Want an example of what I’m […]
Wikipedia: Fight!
Wikipedia has created more controversy than O.J. Simpson and Bill Clinton put together in its short history. The online encyclopedia, open to editing by the general public, is both an invaluable location for research, and a minefield of badly backed up opinions.
A recent article from Lawrence Solomon, of the Financial Post, at the National Post […]
Social Networks as the new Online Search? I damn well hope not…
In this day and age the internet is forever changing. People throw around terms like Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 as if they were candy, when in reality, the former is frustrating to hear every four minutes and the latter is nothing but nonsense.
As the resident Daily Galaxy Geek (ooh, that’s should be my title), […]

twitterpolls - more web2.0 misc
I found this article at Webware.com, pointing out the new PollDaddy Twitter Polls… so I decided to go check it out! It’s pretty nifty, and puts a little Poll link right in to your Twitter with the question. This is the one I’m starting with - we’ll see if it’s actually any good or not. […]
