Gmail - Labs Plugin for Drunk People?!

Posted on 10:19am 10/07/2008 by Bruno Silva in Funny, Web

When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?

As you can read above and by the challenges bellow it really looks like a test to find out if you are drunk or under the influence of drugs. lol

This Plugin is kind of useless, but you can find some more with nice features. Learn about Gmail Labs in the official Gmail blog.

Life without Walls

Posted on 8:47am 9/19/2008 by Bruno Silva in Funny, Microsoft

A new Microsoft marketing wave has started with the motto “Windows Without Walls” as I read int Windows Vista Blog. Pretty nice concept and nice wallpaper.  But from a developer perspective the image is pretty funny. Take a look at the image bellow.

It seems that Windows is about getting some construction tools and hack our house around and using a hammer to get a hole where you need a hole. :P

De 25.000 pontos para 75.00 ainda vai um bocado. :-P

Descoberto a navegar no site XBox Live ao trocar a lingua de pt-PT para en-US.

A web page that crashes Internet Explorer

Posted on 12:28pm 1/30/2008 by Bruno Silva in Funny, Software, Web

In Internet Explorer make sure that you don’t have any important page open. Then open this web page in Internet Explorer. It will crash.

Just in case you don’t have Firefox, here’s the explanation that is written in the web page.

“This page crashes Internet Explorer. Why? Well a simple <span> element crashes Internet Explorer7, and an invalid onload property of <body> in IE6 is sufficient to crash it. “

Pretty scary… Imagine what you can do if you inject the right HTML into an important website… (e.g. in a article comment) Since the required markup to crash IE7 doesn’t even have script on it, it is pretty feasible.
