The redesigned fail snail!

New ways of communication. LOL, ROFL and beyond.

Many of you know these abbreviations that are used extensively all over the internet:
LOL, ROFL, LMAO etc.
Most of you love them, a few of you hate them. But the latest grammar-nazi-troll-food is the next step in modern communication: meme-based words. Recently I had an extensive discussion with some guy that tried to showcase his superiority by questioning my intelligence, just because I used a meme. "Awesome Sauce", a goofy word I used only once, was enough to act as a catalyst for an intellectual battle of epic dimensions. Well this guy was, to be honest, unarmed.
His main point was, that the common Internet slang just supports the "stupidification" of the common population by raping language (or something like that). I have to politely disagree. The inability to follow the rules of grammar or to build correct sentences and making typos are a problem, not these "new words" that are emerging.

Radioactive tanning holidays!

Giant Superpower-goo-Can.

So, while half Germany is/was chained to the tracks in Gorleben, Germany (The Atomic disposal waste whatever depot) to block the happy-train (the codename for the „cask for storage and transport of radioactive material“ short CASTOR-Transport) from dumping Mr. Sadface (lots of radioactive crap) in a leaking salt-mine, the German Government decided to avoid all this media circus caused by thousands of tree-hugging and radioactivity-unliking neo-hippies and unemployed students in the near future.

Hard boiled eggs for breakfast ain't as healthy as an Apple.

... but they may go hand in hand. What I'm talking about? Scrotal hyperthermia.

your lap after 30, 60 and 120 minutes

Well... Guess what. Your balls like fresh air and chilly temperatures, but if you remember the MacBook unibody test results of the Core i7 model which showed a peak temperature of about 100°C (212°F) (luckily) on the bottom side of the notebook, you don't have to be a rocket-scientist to figure out that your little swimmers might want to avoid being cooked alive like a hummer.

How to bypass the Google TV block of Hulu, Netflix and the major channels

Androidspin just posted something interesting...
As more and more sites block google tv, a company called PlayOn saw a chance to win our hearts... It's not free but comes with a certain amount of awesome-sauce, because it bypasses the blockage completely.

How to bypass the Google TV block of Hulu, Netflix and the major channels

Let's start with the Big Bang

Maybe some of you may remember that this blog already existed many many years ago. It was rather successful, but well... my priorities shifted a little and when my server died, the site died too.
Yeah, I suck, I know.
Many asked for it and bragged to bring it back. Ok guys, here we go!

So what can you expect here?
Lots and lots and lots of tech stuff and tech talk... mostly reviews and breaking news. We will see if I'll extend the topics to politics and pop culture too, but I guess I'll save that for my other blog -> www.florianrohrweck.com on tumblr.
If you are easily offended... you shouldn't read my stuff. Seriously. Not a good idea.

Don't even think about it.
