Example: To find something very small that you have dropped on the floor, lay a flashlight on the floor and rotate it. A small object looks a lot bigger when it has a shadow too.

City = Organism: “In some cases Clearflow will compute that a trip will be faster if a driver stays on a crowded highway, rather than taking a detour, because side streets are even more backed up by cars that have fled the original traffic jam.”

Streamming BBC shows on the Wii! Hey, that sounds cool! Oh wait… “It is only available in the UK to licence-fee payers.” Lame…
-
“Profits from separate BBC commercial services help to keep the licence fee low.” Hey guys, I know some people in 233 other countries that might be interested in chipping in. It’s a shame there’s no way for them to get at the content. Heeeeey, waitaminute

Interesting article, but I want to see more Wii success postmortems. Also: “A low-power chip also meant that the machine could be left on overnight to download new content.” And this is relavent how?

The last few Babyshambles records haven’t been doing a very good job at all of proving to people that Pete Doherty is awesome, so I figured I’d help out a bit:

So there ya go. And as a byproduct, I’ve also proved that Muxtape is awesome. What a country!

Good
- Biirdie – The only thing they have to fear are typos!
- Beatles – If Google existed in 1962, it would have been constantly asking people whether they really meant “Beatles?” But at least they would have found what they were looking for.
Bad
- The The – Repeated word *and* a definite article?! Guilty on both counts!
- Franz Ferdinand – This was a ballsy move, basically deciding up-front that you’re going to have to become more famous than the guy whose assassination started World War I. Hmm… actually on further reflection, maybe that is not such a bad bet.
- !!! – Ok, so maybe this one isn’t *really* difficult to search for but I’m just putting it in here because I really resent having to be informed of how to pronouce this band’s damn name (“chk, chk, chk”) every damn time I see it in print. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A PHONETIC LANGUAGE DAMMIT!
- The M’s – Fighting Words!
- The Band – Not only is it impossible to search for, but you’ve also ruined it for thousands of future groups with bad names, whose only hope was appending “the-band” to their URL!
- NWA – That being said, I’ll bet Northwestern Airlines would be wayyy cooler if Eazy E *did* run it.
Ok, well those are all the ones of which I can recall at the moment, but I’ll add to this if any future googling should bring new shit to light.
