I have shown you some interesting PC moddings, such as Mac Mini modification using a toy Millennium Falcon, and the Think Out Of The Box PC modding. Today is Halloween, so I think I should share something related to it, here comes PC modding using a pumpkin !!

First they need to hollow out the pumpkin then dry it over night. Then they slide in the motherboard and all components into the pumpkin. To my surprise, the PC is using a Pentium M and a Dell Latitude motherboard. Anyway, it doesn’t really matter as long as the end result is a runnable PC.

Pumpkin PC Modding

I am not sure is it only me, I have more than 4 email addresses, each of them serving different purposes. Some I use for service subscriptions, some I use for daily use.

Some of you might already created some new Yahoo! email accounts in order to get the insanely cheap domain name at only USD$2.99/year. I hope this is not against the TOS. Hehe… ;))

Anyway, here I introduce you a disposable free email service, named DodgeIt. This service allows you to create email account on the fly. It is just like having an instant noddle; open, eat, throw! The only thing is it doesn’t pollute the environment. :)

DodgeIt is very useful when you need to create a new account just for some service subscriptions, such as forum registration, etc etc. I know you can also do so using Yahoo! or Hotmail but you will need to go through the troublesome registration procedures, isn’t it? There is no setup process in DodgeIt. What you need to do is to create an email address, give it to others, then check the email through DodgeIt homepage. That’s it.

Get Disposable Email Address On The Fly

Okay, we know Firefox just surpassed the 100 Million Downloads and still celebrating. This means the number of Firefox users is increasing rapidly. For sure, among all Firefox users, there will be some who don’t satisfy with the browser speed in rendering (displaying) the webpage. Not to mention, Firefox competitor, Opera claims to have faster page displaying speed compared to Firefox.

Hence, Mozilla Development Community of Mozilla Corp. has taken care of the needs from need-for-speed people by introducing a performance and network tweaks plugin for Firefox, named Fasterfox.

Have you ever wonder of how those big companies come out with the idea of how to name their companies? Like me, probably you might think some of the big names are just a common word that we speak everyday like Yahoo!, or the company just simply comes up with such a name.

Well, this page gives you a better idea of knowing how the big names are created. I am not too sure about the validity of the creation of the names, but I felt it is something really interesting to share with you all. Of course, if you know the original idea of naming those names listed, feel free to tell us in the comment area. :)

I will just list down some of the famous ones :-

• Yahoo!
  It’s actually an acronym for “Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle”. See the name history. Before this, I thought it is just a simple word “Yahoo”.
• Sun Microsystems
  Now only I know it means the acronym for Stanford University Network.
• Microsoft
  Originally called Micro-Soft, which is the suppose to be a short form of MICROcomputer SOFTware. The ‘-‘ was then removed.
• Intel
  I thought it means Intelligence, but in fact it is the acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.
• Hotmail
  Named as such was not because the email is hot, but because Hotmail includes the letters “html”, which is the most widely used programming language on the Internet. Initially, HoTMaiL was the way how it is written.
• Cisco
  Actually it’s the abbreviation of San Francisco, and the company logo is the image of Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Before knowing the real reason, I thought the logo is some form of signal wave. :D
• Apple Computers
  Apple is the favourite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. LoL … This is classic !

We have YaGoohoo!gle, we have BaiGoo, so what’s next?

Since YaGoohoo!gle is already down for months, we now have an alternative, Gahoo!Yoogle ! Just the letter ‘G’ and ‘Y’ placed different from the original search engines.

To my surprise, Gahoo!Yoogle actually has a PageRank of 5, while BaiGoo has only PageRank 1. Guess must have lots of people linking to the page.

Why no one play with the name of other search engines, like MSN, Alexa, Lycos, etc? :-?

Have you ever tried to search some information for your assignment or project using Google Search but ended up getting some spam rubbish instead? Maybe the first few search results are relevant to what you searched, but the other are just plain rubbish.

Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped felt the frustration, thus, created Spam Google, which utilises Google Search but will only give you spam results instead of what you want.

Just as Spam Google’s slogan “Just the noise.” says, you will only find advertisement spam and all sorts of crap.
