Brilliant Tech Pranks
July 4th 2008 05:55
I found a list of tech related pranks to assist you in destroying the lives of your fellow co-workers. A few of my favorites include;
Disappearing Desktop
A classic computer prank never goes out of style. The desktop image trick has been around for a bit, but rest assured: There are plenty of unsuspecting victims still to be found. Just head over to an unattended computer, minimize all the windows, and hit the Print Screen key. Paste the captured image into any graphic editing program — even Microsoft Paint will do — then save the file and set it as the desktop background. Then, all you have to do is hide the actual icons on the desktop — put them in a folder somewhere — and your victim will try endlessly to click the nonexistent icons, which are actually just part of the background image. For another variation, leave one program open when you capture the screen and watch as the person tries to click on it, type in it, and close it to no avail.
Auto-Insult
There are few things funnier than forcing a friend to insult himself — and Microsoft has made it easy to do just that. Take a moment to edit the Autocorrect feature in your colleague’s Word or Outlook (it’s in the Tools menu in both programs). Add a new entry to replace their name with “douche,” and watch how much more interesting all their emails and documents will suddenly become. A little creativity can take this one in plenty of different and equally entertaining directions.
Pointer Problem
Another great mouse prank awaits you in the Control Panel. Under the “Mouse” settings’ “Pointer” tab, change the default mouse pointer to the hourglass. Suddenly, the system is always busy working! What’s going on?!
The ones I’ve included aren’t exactly rocket science, because of my own computer level being pretty low, but these some more complex ones here;

Zero Punctuation – Video Games Made Entertaining.
July 3rd 2008 04:58
If you’re like me (good grief! What a stupid thing to say. If you’re like me? Of course you’re not; why wold you be? Anyway…) you’re not a terrible fan of video games but you can appreciate them as a bit of fun with mates.
Howver, I here present the video series, Zero Punctuation, by Yahtzee, that makes games interesting to people who really don’t care.

The Console Wars
Fable: Lost Chapters
Finally, NOT Yahtzee, but a fairly good homage ‘Some Punctuation, reviewing Yahtzee’s own game.

Banksy Spotting
June 2nd 2008 00:01
When I went to England, I was expecting to be able to find Banksy here, there and everywhere. Despite being in London, one of the favourite Bansky spotting locations, this simply isn't the case, as most of Banksy's work is confined to dark alleys, tunnels, corners and other places that your everyday London tourist is unlikley to wander down. Additionally, anything that IS big and public gets taken away so quickly that you'd never see it.

Comments (2) Launchball

Anyone who enjoys mind puzzles will undoubtably enjoy LAUNCHBALL, a game resembling 'The Incredible Machine', where you must guide a ball through several obsticles. The best part of it though, is that you get to make you own levels. Cool hey?
