October 11, 1999 at 11 o’clock in the evening Nicholas White went down the building to have a cigarette break, when he return back to his office at the 43rd Floor, the elevator stopped and he was stuck for 41 hours.

This story emerges after a decade because of an article published by The New Yorker entitled “Up and then Down” with a time-lapsed video accompanying the story.

Here’s the video of his ordeal.

I laugh hard when I first saw the DVD of Rex Navarette “Hella Pinoy”, and I still am today

For those of you who don’t know Rex Navarette, he’s a Fil-Am stand-up comedian from San Francisco, CA. He’s really good on his craft, hella good!

Good thing someone uploaded the whole video on Youtube, so grab the popcorn and watch the video before it gets deleted. Laugh Hard!

In a forum post on zdnet, a user explains why Linux cannot run on a computer without Windows. Very funny to read.

Either this guy is a die hard Microsoft Fanboy or he’s just stupid not to notice anything outside Windows.

A 51-year-old systems administrator from New Jersey has received the longest federal prison sentence for attempting a crime designed to damage a computer system. Yung-Hsun Lin (also known as Andy Lin) was given 30 months in jail for planting code on a company server in 2003 that was supposed to destroy a medical drug database. He was also ordered by US District Judge Jose Linares to pay $81,200 in restitution to his former employer, Medco Health Solutions.

I found this comment while I was browsing through an MS-Windows oriented site where a blogger said something nasty about Microsoft. It isn’t even worth to refer to the link, because it has nothing to do with this story. It’s about the name-calling these Microsoft fans do. I heard ‘zealots’, ‘bigots’, ‘advocates’, the whole lot. Words I never knew before, because English is not my native tongue. I don’t mind to be called a fanboy, because that is what I am. What may be not too clear to these Microsoft zealots is why I am a fanboy. It’s not because I really dig this “free the software, free the world” ideology. That came much later. It’s because I like this “gimme the source” idea.”
