This is news to me! In the last week (perhaps) or so, Google has changed their Uppercase "G" favicon to a lower-case "g" favicon.

A favicon is the icon that appears in your bookmarks, to the left of the web-address your a visiting, etc etc. You may notice the Green Circle Thing to the left of "http://profy.com/..." Go ahead, look, I won't mind.

Is this an attempt by Google to appear less corporate and more trendy? (I'm looking at YOU Apple) I have only found the icon to appear on the mini-apps by Google. This includes Gmail, Maps, News, Images, Reader and so on.

For those who don't know, a "Timbit" is a small egg-sized doughnut
that, usually, mimicks the flavours of their larger ring-shaped
counterparts. They are referred to as "Timbits" when they a from the
coffee-shop super-chain known as "Tim Horton's".

How much does one (1) timbit cost these days? Normally about 15
Canadian cents. But, in London, Ontario, it cost 27 year old Nicole
Lilliman, an employee at Tim Horton's, her job.

As the story is told, a child had become fussy in the store and
Nicole gave them one free timbit. The managers found out about this by
watching the taped security footage and fired Nicole because she went
against store policy. Before any of my personal comments, you'll be
happy to know that Nicole has since been rehired and relocated due to
"poor judgment" of her previous managers.

In My Opinion

Are people getting that greedy? Is it store policy to be a jerkface?
Sure she has been rehired, but I can only see that as being a result of
bad publicity and negative media coverage. If this didn't get out into
public eye, this lady would be out of a job because of 15 cents.

It was very possible that the managers could have turned a blind eye
on this and write-off the penny (if that) worth of dough and sugar to
keep a happy customer. Let's face it, one Timbit does NOT cost 15 cents
to make.

A message to those managers: What do you give out at Halloween? A
lump of coal is probably too much for you to just hand out for free,
right?

One of the recent non-internet and non-homicidal news story that
keeps coming up in my usual medium scoutings is the news of "toxic"
materials in plastic bottles. Plastic number 7. You can find that
number on the bottom of most plastic bottles.

*waits while you check your water bottle's bottom*

See? How creepy is that?

Anyhow, chances are high that your refillable clear water bottle is
a number 7 regardless if it is a Nalgene or not. In fact, even baby
bottles are affected by this. One of the materials to make number 7
plastic is "Bisphenol A" or BPA. BPA has been found to negatively
affect your health. source

There are plenty of 'healthy' alternatives. Glass and stainless
steel. If you still fancy plastic, you can always go with a
not-so-cool-as-clear unclear plastic. These plastics should have a
number other than 7.

Yes, Nalgene does have bottles that don't contain BPA.

As a result, questions are being raised about whether Canada's major service providers are prepared to handle the future of the Internet as bandwidth-gobbling activities such as downloadable videos and file-sharing go mainstream.

The exploding popularity of online video is causing headaches for ISPs. Much of that traffic is facilitated through peer-to-peer networks.

It's all about layers.

• Wear a hat or hood or cover your head. Long hair and ear muffs aren't going to cut it, miss.
• Wear a couple shirts under your sweater.
• Wear thicker tights or even "Long Johns".
• Wear something that is going to block that harsh wind.
• Wear boots (WITHOUT FANCY HEELS).
• Cover your face with a scarf, neck warmer, balaclava, etc etc.

1. When typing in the WYSIWYG editor then switching to code view, via the HTML button, it is very messy.  There are no line breakss
   

   Why don't you just type in code then???
   

   Uhh, because the WYSIWYG is set to default and a button is, usually, faster than typing in <pwqijefpoeijf>whatever</pwqijefpoeijf>
2. Leaving the site while writing a new post by accidentally pressing the back/forward/bookmark/home/anybutton key completely gets rid of post.
   

   Why don't you just Save as draft
   

   Well, you see (presses Save as draft)... it takes you OUT of the post.  And don't even tell me about the Save button... a.k.a. PUBLISH.
