– No Jitter | Which Is Worse: Running Out of Oil or Bandwidth?. To a degree, I know this is true, however, the reality of our entire infrastructure weening off oil enough to make our reserves stretch is like expecting no one to take that last cookie that you left out in the lunch room.

My New Favorite Camera App
The 4th release in the series of our ToyCamera, which you can take continuous shooting.
Just pressing a button, it proceeds to take 4-8 serial shoots and create one image. The popping sound of the shutter gives you a great feeling.
Been playing around with it this morning and the pictures come out beautifully. Great settings and simple function.

The story behind the "Free Public WiFi" SSID →
The “Free Public WiFi” SSID seems to be everywhere - at airports, on planes, and in hotels. Based on what the SSID spells, it seems to be the perfect solution for those seeking to connect to the Internet because it is “Free”…cost nothing…”Public”…you break no laws connecting to it…”WiFi” …a few clicks and you’ll be surfing in no time. Except that it is just a viral error.
