This video is hilarious if you only watch the first :45 seconds. Please do NOT watch past the first :45 seconds.

Healthy Reminder: The sun never sets on the British empire. Well, it totally does now but it didn’t like 150 years ago when it was massive and stuff. So now! We have the interweb to emulate it’s world dominance with photons interpreted as pixels and rearranged in digital cameras which are displayed on computers. This being true only if you want to accept this new technologically...

AT&T NYC 3G lacks "penetration"
AT&T: Thank you for waiting Mr. Quirk. I do show that the tower that serves your area is currently on limited service which means that some users, not all, will not have service or be able to place and receive calls. I do show that repair teams working on the problem with no estimate to repair time. I apologize about any issues or inconvenience due to the outage.
AT&T: At this time, it appears that only the 3G service is affected. If you have a 2G device to use, it should work. Do you have a different phone to try and use for now?
Me: No. Can I switch my Blackberry Bold to 2G mode?
AT&T: I do not see where this is an option on the Bold. I apologize Mr. Quirk.
Me: will I be credited on my bill for this?
AT&T: No Mr. Quirk. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Please contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 for additional assistance with rate credits, plan changes, features changes, rollover minutes and billing inquires. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 9:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Closed Sunday. The after hours number is 1-866-801-3600.
Me: So I am paying for a service that AT&T is not providing
Me: that is illegal
Me: you can't charge someone for something and then not give it to them
AT&T: That is not correct Mr. Quirk.
Me: this has happened multiple times with ATT
AT&T: I will have to ask again for you to please contact Customer Service for any questions regarding this issue. Do you have any additional technical issues with your wireless device that I may assist you with today?
Me: Do you know why ATT has been problematic in my area the past year?
Me: I've been with ATT for 5 years now
Me: and the past year has been very bad
Me: service interruptions
Me: dropped calls
Me: congestion
Me: is it just too many people on the network?
AT&T: This can very well cause these types of issues Mr. Quirk. I apologize for any trouble you have experienced recently. 3G signal does not penetrate as far as the previous 2G network did. If you are in an area with lots of buildings and interference, this slight difference in signal strength may be what you are experiencing. 3G only provides faster data transmission speeds. The only phone that you can manually change from 2G to 3G, is the iPhone 3G.

Brilliant Idea: Hiring Autistic Workers →
Wired Magazine this month has a feature about some brilliant ideas that could change the world. I loved this idea about this man from Denmark, Thorkil Sonne, who started an IT firm where most of the employees were diagnosed with some level of an autism spectrum disorder. There are clearly some faults in this business model but I think in the long run everyone involved from the client to the...

Dan Brown's 20 Worst Sentences  →
“1. The Da Vinci Code: Title. The Da Vinci Code. Leonardo’s surname was not Da Vinci. He was from Vinci, or of Vinci. As many critics have pointed out, calling it The Da Vinci Code is like saying Mr Of Arabia or asking What Would Of Nazareth Do?.” It really is a battle between Stephanie Meyer and Dan Brown for who can write the worst book but still make me want to read it because I...

Tom Brady misses Fashion Week, loses to New York...
Welcome back forreal Tom Brady. Let’s see you try to beat a team this year that’s not the Oakland Raiders. Watching you get spanked is only better to see it done by a young QB replacing Brett Favre. So much win.

Sorry, Will.I.Am, you can call yourself whatever name you want, even wear a mask that covers your entire face. I can still smell your stinky rhymes.

Dan Brown Sequel Generator  →
Dan Brown’s novels are horrific and are perfectly personified in the Tom Hanks’ mullet- long, greasy, and should have been seen by me in the early 90’s when I was 7. (via Slate)

Kanye apologizes on Leno. Speaking as someone who got some major Lulz from this whole ordeal, I would like to express to Kanye that no one still cares about you hurting Taylor Swift. She got her moment in the end, which was probably 100 times better what her moment would have been had your dumb ass not interrupted it. The only reason people are still talking about it today is because...
