Lawyer: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? Witness: No. Lawyer: Did you check for blood pressure? Witness: No. Lawyer: Did you check for breathing? Witness: No. Lawyer: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? Witness: No. Lawyer: How can you be so sure, Doctor? Witness: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Lawyer: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless? Witness: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

Day 983 of My Captivity  My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies....

Up until Mountain Lion (10.8), Mac OS X’s 'wild cat' code names kept on evolving from Cheetah to Puma, from Jaguar to Panther and then from Tiger to Leopard . Once OS X  Lion hit, it seemed Apple had peaked, with no bigger lions to choose from, but then Cupertino managed to suprise everyone with Mountain Lion . Now what? As the brilliant webcomic XKCD makes clear, not a lot of good cat names are left, once you count out code names that have already been tech products, like Lynx or Ocelot . Mac OS X Housecat ? Please. I’ll take Mac OS X Saber-Toothed Jungle Cat , though. - John Brownlee  via Cult of Mac Source XKCD via Gizmodo

TNT launches its "Your daily dose of Drama" TV ad in Belgium. Now that's what I call a TV commercial / best of advertising.

A young and pretty lady had posted the following on a popular forum: Subject: What should I do to marry a rich guy?  I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York. My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k annual income is not enough. I'm here humbly to ask a few questions: Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bar...

Now that's the great explanation of windows firewall. Image courtesy of 9gag.com Find five things which are not right in this picture... :P

A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting. - Russell H. Ewing The person who knows HOW will always have a job. The person who knows WHY will always be his boss. - Diane Ravitch The real leader has no need to lead - he is content to point the way. - Henry Miller The executive exists to make sensible exceptions to general rules. - Elting E. Morison The secret of successful managing is to keep the five guys who hate you away from the four guys who haven't made up their minds. - Casey Stengel A Boss A Leader Drives employees Coaches employees Depends on authority Depends on goodwill Inspires fear Generates enthusiasm Says "I" Says "we" Places blame for breakdown Fixes the breakdown ...

Ever if you receive a direct message (DM) from someone on Twitter (most probably someone you follow on Twitter) like "somebody's saying bad things about you" followed with a shortened link - don't ever click it! These are all fake messages and generated by a malicious script or some kind of web virus ! If you happen to click the link, a variety of bad things might happen, including passing on similar messages under your name to others and also including things such as trying to infect your computer with a virus. If you have, or think you may have clicked on a dodgy link in a message like this, there are four remedial steps you should take:

If you like to order a cake at Wegman’s bakery, you can simply email them a personalized message that will be printed on the cake. A lady in NY followed the same procedure and ordered a birthday cake over email but here’s what they delivered on her birthday – a cake with some HTML icing. The cake below was supposed to be a mix of English and Italian, but the staff apparently knew no Italian. The problem? Wegman's email system also apparently did not recognize some of the proprietary Microsoft HTML extensions! It turned out that she used Microsoft Outlook to send her email but Wegman’s email system failed to recognize the proprietary HTML tags of Outlook and hence this goof-up. This is best explained by an employee of Wegman – “we just cut and paste from the email to the program we use for printing the edible images, we are usually in such a hurry that we really don’t have time to check. and if we do the customers yell at us for bothering them.”

Some people just don’t realize how damaging some actions can be to a career, a reputation, and a personal brand within their industry. These five simple actions are why you aren’t getting ahead: Being late or a no-show: Don’t make someone else wait to do their job because you haven’t done yours.  Not returning calls or email: When you ignore people or wait to reply, you are saying “your business is just not that important to me.”  Doing just enough to get by: As my father used to say “If you are going to do a half-ass job, don’t do it at all.”  Complaining or assigning blame: Blah, blah, blah. No one cares. Really. They don’t care. You are wasting my time, or someone else's, even yours.  Never saying thank you: This simplest of actions is the one most often forgotten. Appreciation is the most powerful tool you have. Use it.  Any one of the above actions can be detrimental to your career and can cause a client or customer to move on to someone ...

Don’t fall down on the easy stuff. If you’re writing a novel and sending your manuscript to a publisher, it has to be in perfect shape. Make sure that you can tick every box before you consider your novel completely finished. Technical Have you run a spell check on your entire manuscript? (If you have problems with the passive voice, run a grammar check too.) Have you made sure that character names and place names are consistent throughout? Is the chronology correct? Language Is the language in your novel clear and understandable? Did you make sure that the text isn’t overly complex, verbose, patronising or obscure? If more than one comma is in a sentence, should it be two sentences? If you use more than one adverb and adjective in any sentence, are you sure you need them? In fact, is every one of them necessary?

How to Make It in America is a snapshot of the beating heart of young ambition and energy in New York City. Youth may flail--and even fail--but good ideas and smarts and an "angle" just might pay off in the City That Never Sleeps. The ensemble cast is terrific, including Bryan Greenberg, Victor Rasuk, Lake Bell, Shannyn Sossamon, Kid Cudi, and the always-hilarious Luis Guzmán. Some are layabouts, some are craven with ambition, some are artistes, some are thugs-and some are all of the above. Much like Entourage does, How to Make It in America follows a group of friends and acquaintances through their daily lives, and sometimes feels as aimless as real life really is. But the writing and direction and acting are all first-rate, and anyone who's ever visited New York, or lived there, or dreamed of living there, will be captivated by the realism. The reality of New York is both romanticized and taken at harsh face value--such a vivid portrait, in fact, that the city f...

Big Spoiler Alert! (Biggest Gossip Girl Spoiler Ever) "Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandaleous lives of Manhattan's elite." "You know you love me, XOXO" - Gossip girl The biggest shocker on last Monday's (January 30th, 2012) 100th episode of Gossip Girl (5x13) wasn't Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) royal wedding dress, Serena Van der Woodsen's (Blake Lively) renewed love for Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley) or Blair's totally mortifying moment at the altar with Prince Louis. Obviously, there was a major sea change in Blair’s emotional and romantic life, but the big headline was the reveal of Gossip Girl herself . The scandal blogger’s identity has been hotly debated and speculated on for more than four years now, but it took a landmark episode for producers Joshua Safran and Stephanie Savage ( who spoke with EW’s own Shaunna Murphy about last night’s ep ) to finally relent and unmask the person behi...

No clue what AutoCorrection is?
