Spooky CCTV captures pub ghost splotch

That's an easy one. It's a person's reflection off a piece of glass - most likely the dome on the camera. It's just a coincidence that it appears to be going up the stairs. I bet anybody with half a brain could easily reproduce their "ghosts"!

@#5: My cheek swab kit is on its way to me. I donate blood regularly, so Canadian Blood Services sent me a Onematch brochure in the mail. I signed up that very evening.

Fuck You, Razr: The Monkey's Paw of Cellular Phones

April 21, 2008 6:58pm

I've been the owner of three Motorola phones now - a V300, a V551, and a Razr. All were disappointing. Between the V551 and the Razr, I got a Sony Ericsson W600, which maddened me to no end with its clunky UI and swivel design which is prone to losing screws (though I've downgraded back to it, because it wasn't as bad as the Razr).

The one thing above all else that enraged me about the Razr was text messaging, and specifically the total and complete lack of control over the custom dictionary. It took multiple typings of the same word to get it to remember, and it seemed to have an internal dictionary of words it deemed inappropriate, any of which it would refuse to remember. It would randomly forget your most used custom words, especially ones used all the time.

What bothers me the most about the Razr? The fact that it had the same wretched UI as the V300 and V551, and that I actually bought the fucking thing. I will never, EVER again buy a Motorola. I hope the iPhone comes to Canada soon!

I want that! I hope it comes to North America.

It looks like a poorly-executed imitation of the Sony Anycast. Fail.

Request: The Incredibly Bad Art of Motherboard Companies

I stand corrected. I never have had a motherboard die from bad caps, but I've seen (and deliberately caused) a few of them fail in a non-passive mannder :)

Solid State Capacitors? It MUST be good! I wonder what they were trying to say with that little gem.

WANT! My Canon AE-1 would fit that nicely...

Joel: I never wear the extra bit pouch for my Leatherman either. I have the standard issue nylon case with stretchy sides, and I can fit both sets of extra bits, a mini Sharpie, and my Leatherman without any appreciable extra bulk.
