Lots of things have happened on the Internet lately. And I’ve been kinda quiet. Maintaining the Chillat.net network takes up quite a bit of time. Anyways, first of all Opera has reinvented the Web with Opera Unite. I’ll leave it open to discussion whether this is good or bad, but my $0.05 is that letting content get pulled from a users system in the fashion that’s being done here is never a good idea. Especially not if you’re targeting users, with lesser operating systems like Windows Vista.
Microsoft Australia has also apparently figured out that IE8 isn’t quite as interesting as they were hoping it would be. They have therefor set up a competition on Twitter where you can win $10,000 AUD if you find the magic hidden page that you can only see if you’re using Internet Explorer 8. Way to go.
Hopefully not too many sane users will downgrade to IE8 for this.

Oh dear, I just stumbled over the Fast Finger Keyboard. It looks kinda sleek, and instead of the usual QWERTY-layout, you can get an ABCDEF-layout. It also comes equipped with a “www.”-key as well as abbreviations on the function keys.
Gotta admit it looks kinda good tho :p You can read more at FastFingerKeyboards.com.

Ryanair hits the all time low with this. The plonkers are seriously considering charging 1£ to use the toilet while in flight! Seriously, this must be the single most ridiculous thing since Bush.
Even more hillarious are the reactions. People have apparently been looking into the juridical aspects of it,and reached the conclusion that it’s not illegal to charge someone for using the toilet. As a matter of fact, there is no law that actually requires a passenger jet to have toilets at all, so we should be happy! — OF COURSE THERE IS NO LAW! Who could possibly foresee the situation of someone charging you money for a mile high poop!
So don’t forget to bring a roll of quarters the next time you fly with Ryanair. You never know when you have to go.
