Over at TechCult there is a list with 20 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Stick In Your USB Socket. You think you saw them all? A USB Ghost Radar? A Barbie USB Driver?
Man, these people are either cretive geniuses, or they have nothing better to do. Probably the second option…. Anyway head to the full article and check out the 20 items. I am considering buy a couple of them. the laser guided rocket launcher would rock on if I was still working inside an office.
I was browsing through my RSS feeds today and came across a cool little game called Ragdoll Cannon. The concept is pretty simple: you have a cannon that shoots dolls, and on each level you must make the dolls touch a “here” stone.
Simple but addicting, now I must finish all the levels! Check it out, it is Friday after all…
If you ended up wasting too much time with the previous two games that we covered (Helicopter and Desktop Tower Defense), this one might be the solution. The Last Stand is a cool game don’t get me wrong, and it is very graphically appealing for a flash game, but it is not that challenging.
As you can see from the image above the game is about killing zombies. There is a minimum of strategy involved as you need to allocate your day time between finding survivors, weapons, and repairing the barriers that protects you. Once you get the M-40 weapon, though, the game is over.
I never worked inside a tech support department, but I do imagine the crazy stuff that must go on there, especially when these guys need to interact with clueless people from non tech-savvy departments.
I came across this video last week, and given its popularity you might have crossed it already. If you not, please take 10 minutes to watch it, it is just brilliant!
Last week we covered the Helicopter game, and this week we have another classic of the online flash games: Desktop Tower Defense.
On this strategy game your mission is to build a defense that will be able to kill all the incoming creatures, not allowing them to reach the other side of the map. You have several towers at your disposal, each with certain attributes. Not recommended if you have a lot of things to do for work today…
TechCult.com is the new site on our network. It will basically cover all things tech, but always with a humor and sarcastic slant. If you want to get a couple of laughs while reading about tech, that is the place to go!
The latest article there is titled The 25 Best High-Tech Pranks, and it is a killer piece. Check out the first prank:
1. The Restart Remap
We start with one sure to throw off even the most advanced Windows user. Setup is simple and you need only a few seconds alone on someone’s computer. When you get a chance, sneak over and right-click your pal’s icon to Internet Explorer or some other commonly used program. Edit the properties and change the target to: “%windir%\system32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00? Now, every time your buddy tries to run IE, his machine will mysteriously restart — and your laughter will instantly result.
It is the first time in a couple of years working at home on the Internet that I wish I was in the office instead 🙂 .
