Google: Smart People for Bureaucracy

Maybe Google hires smart people to have someone able to tackle their bureaucracy… in any case 3-6 months to become accustomed to using their tools sounds scary.

Twitter should adopt it instead of tinyurl.

Hypocrisy Web 2.0: Facebook

faceboook logo

Never share your Facebook password with anyone. Never. No Facebook employee will ever ask for it, and no one else should know it. If you are ever prompted to log in to Facebook, make sure it’s from a legitimate Facebook web address. [Source]

So Facebook is telling people not to enter their Facebook username and password on other websites, such as websites that want to access and integrate with Facebook data. Good. That’s what a person with some residual brain functions should always do anyway.

The fucked up thing is that Facebook has a feature doing exactly that! In other words, Facebook is asking users to enter other websites’ credentials into Facebook to suck in the information they have on those sites. Fuckbook, err Facebook was one of the first to promote such unethical practices (they’re actually responsible for the spreading of this shit) and now they even go around preaching how wrong it is, while they still use it for their own advantage. You shameless corporate hypocrites.

Fucked-up web-design: cuil.com

cuil home page screen capture

You can tell that cuil sucks just by looking at its home page. There are so many wrong things about it.

1. It’s black. I think a black background for a search engine is horribly wrong. Search is about bringing things to light, not the opposite.
2. The search box is in the lower half of the screen.
3. cuil, the name. Are you serious?
4. Why do I care about how many pages you search? I don’t know how many are out there. Plus, I want to search them all anyway. I just want meaningful results. Which cuil don’t bring.
5. Fuck, the search box is not even centered.
6. The overall impression is that they want to look cool, not actually solve problems.
7. I don’t know why, but I can’t even think about my search in such a home page… my mind just goes into a halt.

The Dark Knight is way too long

And it’s overrated. I fell asleep when the joker was upside-down.

Batman Begins is so much better.
