Mashable -The Kajimoto Laboratory at the University of Electro-Communications has created a device which consists of a hardware receptacle which is placed into the mouth, and software that remembers the movements of your tongue and sends them to the other connected device, which moves accordingly.

Kiss transfer device? What. The. Fuck. What a waste of perfect brain power. You have these brilliant ass programmers and they inventing this useless nonsense that is of no purpose. How about you invent something that’s actually useful bros. Their defense? “If you have a popular entertainer use this device and record it, that could be hugely popular if you offer it to fans” Um no. It’s just a plastic piece wiggling around.How about you get your heads out of the lab and go find a real human to kiss.

We all know the Japanese invent a bunch of sick kinky shit. I guarantee you this was invented to be used for something other than kissing.

If I Ever Download An Android App With This AirPush Shit, I’m uninstalling it in 2 seconds

These fuckers have some nerve, developing a framework that lets them push ads to your notification window. If you watch the video, they claim that only 5% of app users are active, so if they never launch the app, the developers don’t make money. UH DOY! No shit. Why should the developers get advertising revenue if I’m not using the app. Christ!

“With AirPush, we let users view ads when it’s convenient, and not when they’re busy using an app”

Translation: When your phone is idle, lets just spam ad shit to it.

So if I install the app with AirPush ads, it’s going to run in the background and then I’m going to have ads delivered to mynotificationbar? That’s bullshit. If any developer uses this, they’re a fucking moron because I can assure you people will be uninstalling those apps so fast they won’t make any money on ads.

HAHA Your Shitty iPhone is Spying On Your Ass

Mashable – Two security researchers have discovered that Apple’s iPhone keeps track of a user’s location and saves that information to a file that is stored both on the device and on a user’s computer when they sync or back it up in iTunes.

The researchers, Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan, discovered the hidden file while collaborating on a potential data visualization project. At first we weren’t sure how much data was there, but after we dug further and visualized the extracted data, it became clear that there was a scary amount of detail on our movements, Warden told The Guardian.

Fucking Apple. Everyone loves them and trusts them so much and here they are spying on everywhere you’ve been – just throwing your location into a file that’s up for grabs. They just released some legal mumbo jumbo doc because some joke senators said they’d investigate. It was like 40 pages of privacy policy that no one wants to read.

Lousy bastards.

PS – This jerkoff Apple Fanboy Will Clarke wrote an article about how Apple is not tracking you. It ends with this: “Who cares? This still means there is a log of where I’ve been!Yes, it does. Like I said originally, I’m not saying there aren’t privacy concerns here.”

Guy fucking contradicted himself. What a joke. Typical fanboy. If Apple murdered millions of <insert race here>, fanboys would still defend them.

Firefox 4 Pet Peeves

Firefox 4 is being released Tuesday and if you followed my blog for the past few months and ready my comments about the betas, I ripped it toshreds. That being said, they really cleaned it up by the time the Release Candidate hit and now I have to say I’m a fan. Sorry for being critical – it was for your own good. And for the most part, it’s decent. I will still use both browsers. But these things need some work:

  • Why on earth are App Tabs deleted if history is cleared? I want to keep Gmail in its own app tab. But I also like clearing my history on close. Thisapparentlydeletes the app tab.The point of an App Tab is to be a static part of the browser. Chrome remembers them. They should not be stored in the session. That’s nonsense.
  • The defaulttoolbar layoutis confusing as hell. Why is the refresh button to the right of the location bar and why is the home button and bookmarks button all the way on the right? Also, see that little dropdown arrow on the tab bar? No one knows what that does (it’s tab candy) (PS – ignore my FireBug button. That’s not there by default.
  • Still not as fast as Chrome – They did an amazing job with the newJavaScriptengine. It benchmarks only about 50-100ms slower than Chrome’s V8. Which is pretty good considering that 3.6 is slower than shit and is 400-500ms slower.
  • 97/100 on Acid 3. Where are the other 3 points?

Where is it better than Chrome?

  • Hardware acceleration – On Microsoft’s FishIE Tank, Chrome runs like shit. Firefox is decent. I still think IE9 is faster though which is straight up pathetic.
  • Printing – Google doesn’t seem to think it’s important to put printing options in the browser.

Overall, a very solid browser. I take back my previous rants about it.
