In other words, it caches your MySQL queries. But to do this, you do need to check the Memcached cache before doing the act ... More

Here’s a site called SimplyNoise, who’s sole purpose in life is to produce white noise.
Well, I’ve tried it out and was very disappointed that all they did was capture some TV white noise and put it on their site.
That said, SimplyNoise will need to provide other types of white noise such as a mother’s womb to get the site ... More

With Seero, I guess you can even geo-map your movies. It’s interesting as this movie is based on San Francisco streets and I know where they shot it.
It’d be way cool if all new movies came out with a PiP screen of Google Maps showing the location. (maybe one day when Google starts buying theaters…)

Wow, Firefox has been steadily growing real fast… I remember about 2-3 years ago when Firefox use was at only about 5%.
Go Firefox! Kill IE for good.
The only thing with Internet Explorer is that a lot of foreign countries such as Korea, have adopted to use IE exclusively for internet banking, which you can not use Firefox for.

Goohack was just launched! It’s a search engine that uses Google API to search DIYs, HowTos, Hacks, and other technology stuff from hand-selected sites by me.
It’s pretty useful as it filters out a lot of sites you don’t consider DIY and HowTo related.
