Guess I’m on a singing kick recently. Pretty good interpretation of the song and loads of slight humor woven in for fun.

Image: CNET News ScreenshotJust when I was really enjoying all the connections I’ve been making in Facebook, some jerk hackers are ruining the fun for lots of people. A few friends of mine on Facebook appear to be infected, and another friend just called to let me know about it and if I knew anything specific. They’ve released a new worm into the world that spreads itself through a link being sent around with a Google video. When you try to play the video it prompts you that you need to download a new codec. WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T DOWNLOAD THE NEW CODEC! Here’s my general reminder and warning to everybody. Don’t upgrade something if you’re prompted unless you absolutely trust the site you’re on. Know what you’re upgrading. Even then, I suggest not doing the automatic upgrade if prompted and going to the manufacturer’s site directly without following a link. Don’t open attachments from people in e-mail that you weren’t expecting to receive. This includes from people you know and for attachments where you actually recognize the file type. Both of these things can be spoofed.

Image: Screen capture by Jason BeanGmail has this setting where you can tell it to always display images from a certain recipient. That’s a really good feature because it gets annoying to always click on the “Display images below” link. The problem is that it doesn’t matter either way. No matter how many times it appears that I click on the “Always display images….” option instead, I always have to click on it again to see the images in an email. Where does this setting get stored? Is it a cookie? Do I lose it when I’ve Firefox clear private data? Is that why I sometimes also lose my Google search preferences? Let me know if you’ve that answer, that would be great!

NBA Coach Mo Cheeks Helps Nervous Girl Sing Through AnthemPosted by: in Uncover The InternetI’ve been at a game when a friend of mine forgot the lyrics to the National Anthem. He’s sung the song probably hundreds of times and just blanked when he was on the court. Extraordinary respect for Mo Cheeks, the Portland Trailblazer’s coach at the time, who came out and stood by this girl and helped her through it.
