Random Web Cam Chat at Chatroulette

So have you ever wanted to randomly chat with strangers via webcam? Well you can now at chatroulette.com  Basically you go to the website, turn on your webcam (or not if you don't have one) and the site will match you up with random people to chat with. 


I will admit it was interesting the different random people that popped up.  Here is what your chat looks like (I had no camera on):

'Time Traveler' Caught on Tape?

Fox News along with other News services have been showing this video.  It shows a lady holding what appears to be a cell phone to her ear and talking into it but the year is 1928.


What do you think? Keep in mind the year is 1928 where this kind of technology wasn't even thought of yet.


Is this "definitive proof of time travel" ? What do you think she is holding/talking into? Is this a hoax of some kind just to generate news?

Safely Unsubscribe From Any Mailing List

Unsubscribe takes the effort out of unsubscribing from mailing lists.  When you actually examine all the messages you receive, chances are that a good chunk of them are from mailing lists. As the months go by, we often forget how many times we've added our address somewhere online. While it's easy to delete them on the fly, an LA-based startup has created an even better solution.

How To Start Up Your Mac in Safe Mode



If your Mac is freezing, not starting up correctly, or behaving in another odd way, you could be looking at several possible causes. For example, a hardware failure, software glitch, or corrupt file might be to blame. To help narrow down the possibilities and perhaps just gain access to your files again, Safe Mode is a good place to start.

* It is their right to burn it if they want, I support them
* I say burn all the Qurans and maybe toss in their flag too
* I think its a bad idea I do not support this
* I think he should be stopped even if by force
* Yes its legal but because of the risks (to our troups and security) its just not worth it

 I was just wondering if anyone know if there is a rhyme or reason to the suggestions facebook gives you on the upper right hand of the screen. specifically where when your looking at pictures and it recommends looking at another friends photo that they posted a few months ago. In mine it seems to show/recommend me to one of my friends in particular about 90% of the time. (Im asking you guys because I heard today that its because that friend looks at your photos alot. but that doesn't make sense to me)  Thanks for the help.

What do you think? Barbara Walter's said that they should not have walked off the set, I agree. I also agree with Bill O'Reilly a Mosque should not be built on that site, it's inappropriate.

Probably my favorite app so far that I grabbed is an app called ZumoCast What this app does is allow you to stream all your music, video, etc right from your home computer to your iphone!  If your like me you have tons of mp3's on your computer and instead of taking all your iphones space with all your music locally on your phone you can simply access your home computer through this app and stream your music and video right to your phone. It works great!
