Mobiles Replace Wallets (NFC) The day when near field communication (NFC) will help replace plastic credit cards, coupons and loyalty program cards with a wave of a phone at a payment terminal has been long anticipated. Wireless NFC technology enables devices, including mobile phones and payment terminals, to communicate with one another or read special tags. Its short-range signal, convenience and built-in security make NFC an apt choice for mobile payments. Its efficacy persuaded companies like MasterCard, American Express, and Visa to join the NFC Forum in 2004 shortly after it was founded to advance the use of the technology. Today, the possibility that this technology could replace a wallet full of plastic seems not only likely, but imminent. Samsung's Nexus S, the first NFC-enabled Android phone, will be on sale at Best Buy starting December 16; Nokia has announced that all of its Smartphones starting in 2011 will support NFC; and Apple recently hired an NFC expert.

Bill Hicks - Interesting Motherfuckers - Acid Logic ezine By Cody Wayne "A lot of us amateurs can make people laugh and some of us can occasionally even make people think twice about the daily nonsense of their lives. But with his clarity of vision and gift of words, if Bill Hicks had had any more time he might have started a revolution." Keith Olberman, MSNBC opinion-head and former ESPN Sportscaster (More quotes here.) .Bill Hicks died when I was in high school. .Denis Leary's first stand-up/music album came out at about the exact same time. .Radiohead was just starting its plans for world music domination with Creep in those days, too. But what the hell?! #1 - Tool openly expressed their gratitude for what Bill Hicks was doing in their Undertow album and gave a solemn, somber farewell to Hicks in their follow-up album Ænima featuring a fucked up picture of Hicks as a doctor doing a check-up on a hysterical patient with his mutated third eye completely fucking squeegied. #2 - Radiohead dedicated The Bends to the memory of Bill Hicks.
Drunk History - Joan of Arc Driving the Fire SUV My favorite iPad app: Algoriddim's djay One of my favorite hobbies is DJing. It combines the universal love of music with the tactile feel of vinyl (plus it makes people dance) -- what's not to love? I've been testing a new app for the iPad that's going to revolutionize DJing as we know it, djay for iPad ($19.99, App Store). Now instead of lugging crates and decks -- heck instead of lugging your notebook computer -- you can now rock a party with just your iPad. I spun a decent-sized holiday party for a friend this weekend using just djay for iPad and I'm a convert. While nothing will completely replace a pair of 1200s (or CDJs or Serato) and a mixer -- djay for iPad is the closest thing yet that I've seen. The biggest difference is lugging equipment and setup time. With djay the only "loading" I had to do was with my iTunes playlists, and once these were set, I just had to sync my iPad, test the tracks and go. djay for iPad features two realistic low-latency turntables and virtual mixer that work just like the real thing.
Patton Oswalt: My Weakness Is Strong (DVD / CD Combo): Patton Oswalt, Jason Woliner: Movies & TV LOL Fabulous Secret Powers von slackcircus 500.938 Aufrufe So, here's the backstory with this video. We made this video in 2005 and posted it to the Something Awful forums: ml In 2006, dkilzer2000 posted it to youtube: We finally got around to posting it to our own page in 2007 (you are here). Then, in 2010, in the process of redesigning our company web site, we posted it to Vimeo: We did not disable the "Download the source video" option on Vimeo, nor did we leave our watermark on the video as we had on the YouTube version. As it turns out, removing the intro and outro was a very smart and viral-y decision by ProtoOfSnagem and others, because the video got over 26M views in this abbreviated form. UPDATE 11/15/12: We retracted the claim on ProtoOfSnagem''s version this morning. 11/16/12 -- ProtoOfSnagem's version returns to YouTube. Love, Slackcircus
David Mitchell Funny Joke The Hip-Hop Word Count: A Searchable Rap Almanac by Tahir Hemphill Note: Thanks for your support in getting us to our goal! Even though we are fully funded we are still actively seeking funding and appreciate any level of involvement. All additional pledges will be used to cover the costs of adding more functionality to the search tool and shortening the production time of the public launch. The Hip-Hop Word Count (HHWC) is a searchable ethnographic database built from the lyrics of over 40,000 Hip-Hop songs from 1979 to present day. The database is the heart of an online analysis tool that generates textual and quantified reports on searched phrases, syntax, memes and socio-political ideas. The idea to build the Hip-Hop Word Count came out of having hundreds of heated & passionate discussions about Rap music: Who was the best rapper of all time? Tired of having these answers left up to conjecture or whoever had the loudest voice, I decided to build a tool that would help give answers by charting the culture described within Hip-Hop music. Seems tough.
