Remember this when ISPs claim that 250GB is enough for anyone, etc.

You’ll need 165Mbps internet in just 6 years, study finds.

Bandwidth needs will continue going up at about the same rate for ~20 years or so, if other technologies are any guide (which they are).

Women being masturbated at in public isn’t as rare as you might think.

Who thought it was rare? I personally know two women it’s happened to, and I don’t know many people.

Yeah, I know it’s a tampon commercial and thus designed to sell things, but it’s also really, really well done.

I was on a work softball team a few years ago. We weren’t that good. There was a player there that would sometimes join our team when we needed an extra, who usually was on another team.

She’d played Division I softball in college, and damn was she good. She could hit better, field better, run faster and make better decisions than anyone on our team, or than anyone else I saw playing in the entire league. She saved us from utter embarrassment in many games.

I am glad she did it all like a girl.

Google is going and making the same old mistakes in GUI design as has been done a million times, but can’t even recognize it because they are the “best and brightest” in their own eyes.

It can do things that physical paper can’t, like grow and shrink with animations. Those animations were important to Google, because they help users understand where they are inside an app. "A lot of software … kind of feels like television or film in terms of jump cuts," Wiley says, causing you to lose your sense of time and place. For apps, you want something more akin to a stage play. "It’s going from one moment to the next," he says, "that scene change, and what’s happening onstage is choreographed and transitioned, and there’s meaning."

Here’s what animations do: they slow me down. They slow my device down. They make it harder to tell what is going on in 99% of cases.

They are designed to appeal to the first-use “wow” factor and little else. This sort of animation-heavy design suffers greatly with continued use.

I always disable all animations (if possible) the moment I get a product.

As for the rest of it, it looks like a poor copy of Windows 8.

This is really good, and shows just how much artistry and language play goes into rap.

Eminem, however, in this song is different. He interlinks his rhyme groups, a poetic technique known as “synchysis” in classical poetry like Vergil. This can be represented in the form ABAB. Poetry (…or rap) involving multiple synchyses would be represented as something like ABACCAB, or AABACBADC. Hm, I wonder what Eminem does…

But no female rappers? Dessa? Early Lil’ Kim? That’s a big omission.

What’s really funny is when people who think rap “isn’t hard and isn’t music” attempt it. It’s absolutely hysterical and bad.
