A cruise ship carrying 122 people has run aground on the Antarctic coast, the Argentine navy reports.

It’s been awhile since I put together a list of random stuff I’ve found on the web and cool tips that have made their way into my inbox. So today I’ll try to make amends with an extra-long list:

• The Bureau of Labor Statistics is keeping track of all the layoffs. Why don’t you as well?
• Forbes is offering up its take on the Cogent-Sprint peering fight story I broke a few weeks ago. It is worth a read.
• Yahoo may have sold Kelkoo off for $57 million, much less than the $126 million sale previously reported. Damn, they spent $600 million buying France-based Kelkoo in 2004.
• Sarah Tavel of Bessemer has some excellent analysis as to how, much in the same way Wal-Mart and “category killers” like Staples have shuttered mom-and-pop stores, the same is happening online. Her story, “The Staples 2.0 Effect,” is one to bookmark.
• Make VoIP calls via Truphone on your iPod Touch. What’s not to like about this?
• My friend David Isenberg is ready to rock with the 2009 edition of F2C: Freedom to Connect conference in Washington, D.C., in March 2009.
• 3G be damned, the wireless industry is printing money with SMS. About $190 billion in 2008, according to Portio Research. That number is going to surge to $330 billion by 2013, they say.
• There were 174 million domain name registrations across all of the Top Level Domain Names (TLDs) at the end of the third quarter, up three percent over the second quarter and 19 percent higher than the same quarter last year. More on the VeriSign web site.
• The State of Spam and Internet Security Threats by Messagelabs is available here.

The Atlas of True Names contains maps with very literal place names.

Called the "Atlas of True Names," the new map traces the etymological roots of European and global place names and then translates them into English. The "City of Boatmen" is also known as Paris. Should you travel to the Land of the Fire Keepers, you'd find yourself in Azerbaijan. And Italy comes from the Latin word vitulus, which means "calf."

New York is "Wild Boar Village", Chicago is "Stink Onion", Great Britain is "Great Land of the Tattooed", and Grozny is "The Awesome". However, Language Log notes that some of the translations should be taken with a grain of salt. (thx, andreas)

So when I was in London some buddies and I went into one of the many a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article3720047.ece"all you can eat/a Chinese restaurants.

Is it possible to do on a jailbroken ipod firmware 2.2?

I've followed this tutorial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVOxu...d_touch-2.html

I've tried it many times. Please someone help me out. I downloaded the dump and the app, and I got pretty far, the wiki logo appears on my springboard, it says, "Embark" Is it suppose to say that. If I click on it, it just goes back to the springboard. Whats going on. I downloaded the whole file, I set the permissions just like the video said. I tried turning my ipod touch off and on, it's jailbroken, 2.2. What does he mean when he says "make sure they are set recursively"? Please help me out.

Thank you guys so much!

Ok so I sold my MBP and I'm looking at either a MB or MBA rev b. - I sold the MBP bc I didn't need all the power and wanted more portability and an SSD drive. Now that the MB dropped to 4.5 pounds, i'm torn. I really want the MBA but I have a couple concerns.

1) did they not solve the heat issue and is it much hotter still even with an SSD then the MB?

2) I hear some complaints about videos (youtube or vidoes from itunes) jumping or freezing. Has this been resolved? the most intense video software I will use is iMovie. Will this be an issue with the rev. B?

3) Is 2gigs enough? I don't plan on using fusion but if I do will this be enough. Also, I want this to last at least 2 years. Can 2gigs survive?

4) any other issues I should be concerned about over the MB?

5) AND do you recommend an SSD air or MB with 4gigs and me upgrading to SSD for my needs? (itunes, basic use, iMovie, iphoto)


Thank you very much,
NYU02

How can the showing of all ATI Control Panel tabs and options be enabled for any ATI/AMD display adapter?

The Control Panel version I am using for reference is 6.14.10.5173. I may use a different version if necessary.

From what I can tell, it seems that registry values control option visibility.
