Confessions: The Meanest Thing Gizmodo Did at CES
Ok, this was a mean thing to do, but damn funny. Watch this video and enjoy!
LMAO!!
“We have been informed of inappropriate behavior on the show floor by a credentialed media attendee from the Web site Gizmodo, owned by Gawker Media. Specifically, the Gizmodo staffer interfered with the exhibitor booth operations of numerous companies, including disrupting at least one press event. The Gizmodo staffer violated the terms of CES media credentials and caused harm to CES exhibitors. This Gizmodo staffer has been identified and will be barred from attending any future CES events. Additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media are under discussion.”

Free SkypeOut!!!
Free calls to all landlines and mobile phones within the US and Canada - Skype Blogs
“We just announced that SkypeOut is now free within the US and Canada to all landlines and mobiles, until at least the end of 2006.
How does this work?
If you’re in the US or Canada, you can use SkypeOut to call any landline or mobile number in both the USA and Canada for free.
If you’re in the US or Canada and calling any other country, OR if you’re in any other country and calling landline or mobile numbers in the US or Canada, the standard SkypeOut rates apply.
Of course, Skype-to-Skype calls continue to be globally free, so no changes there.”
Just make sure you dial +1 then the number with the area code. Ignore any messages you see telling you about skype out credit. You can even do conference calls. Just add the numbers to your phone book and start a call. It really works!!!

Hot on the heels of Gentoo’s announcement of their 2006.0 release, OSDir has published a Gentoo 2006.0 Screenshot Tour which give us a walk-through of installing Gentoo with the first ever Gentoo Linux LiveCD.
I am a huge Gentoo fan. All of my linux boxes run it. I have a computer sitting next to me that I have been wanting to install gentoo on but I have not had the freetime to do it. Needless to say, I am downloading 2006.0 right now to try it out. I will report back with my thoughts in the coming days.

Firefox Taking Over
There has been a lot of articles lately talking about Firefox and the amount of resources it likes to consume. I have been fighting through this more and more it seems like. For me, it likes to take 200MB+ of ram and slowly sucking away processor power. At least I have 2GB of ram so that side of it doesn’t really matter. What is your experiences with Firefox?
