Get Your Very Own Personalized Firefox 3 Certificate
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008 | Marketing, News, Promotion, Random | No Comments
Firefox 3 was released with much fan-fare last week, including a marketing campaign from Mozilla to set a new record for “most software downloads in 24 hours” in the Guinness Book of World Records. According to their “World Record FAQ,” they hoped to beat the number of downloads that version 2 of Firefox saw, which was 1.6 million. Well they’ve recently updated their “Download Day” site, indicating that in the 24-hour time period after publicly releasing the new version, the software was downloaded over 8 million times. Since then they’ve counted over 20 million downloads and that’s just from their official site (due to server lags, the release was quickly put up on private mirrors, so the real download number will never be known).
Want to celebrate your participation in this event? Why not (other than for the obvious reasons)? Mozilla now lets you print out your very own “personalized” Firefox 3 Download Day certificate by entering your name on their “Flaunt It” portion of the website. Click on the image posted above for an example of what it looks like (it will open in a new window). Now you can be the envy of your IT staff… this will surely show them you’re hip to the latest software releases and maybe they’ll show you how to install that cool screensaver you’ve been having trouble with!
Sooooo corny… but i couldn’t resist.
Mr. T’s Pity Brings Sick Child Out Of Deep Coma
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008 | News, Random, Unusual | No Comments
No april fools joke here, this was posted yesterday, march 29th in the UK. Mr. T pity’s a kid out of a deep coma while visiting hospital.
taken from http://uk.news.yahoo.com:
Former The A-Team star Mr. T once stunned a sick child’s family by bringing him out of a coma - after doctors begged the actor for help.
The poorly kid fell unconscious in Detroit, Michigan in the mid-1980s - and the only physical movement he made was in response to hearing Mr. T’s name.
And when the mohawked star was in town, he stopped by the hospital to visit the ill boy - with miraculous results.
He tells Empire magazine, “His family put toys around him and one of them was a Mr. T doll. And whenever my name came up, the boy moved his arm.
“Somebody told the doctors I was in town, so they called me down there. I closed the curtains and prayed. Then, as I was walking down the hall, the kid suddenly came out of the coma and hollered out.
“That was my supernatural moment.”
Mr. T can pity a sick child out of a coma - that’s almost as cool as if Chuck Norris were to round-house kick cancer out of a dying 5 year old….. only this actually happened… That’s one kid Mr. T doesn’t pity. Although I do feel sorry for the coma…. apparently Mr. T hates coma’s as much as he hates planes.
Pew Pew Pew - The next Lolcats?

Sorry, I was just sent this one and couldn’t resist - could Pew Pew Pew be the next Lolcats? Lolchurch perhaps?
Sent from friend, but obviously from the Lolcats HQ itself - icanhascheezburger.com.
For those who are really confused, it’s an internet phenomenon similar to stuffonmycat.com, where users submit photos of literally just stuff placed on their cat. Here’s the definition (thanks to Wikipedia) of what constitutes as a lolcat (and yes, there’s also a Loldog version out there called ihasahotdog.com):
A Lolcat is an image combining a photograph of an animal, most frequently a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often) broken English referred to as Kitty Pidgin, or lolspeak.
Enjoy.
