SerpentVenom

There's a new web service that has its sites on some of the Google and Wikipedia market. Wolfram|Alpha bills itself as a "computational knowledge engine" but the interface it presents looks like any other search engine. And that's the problem. (more...)

Generally, good newspaper editors know that you don't run a story about a plane crash and then place an ad for the involved airline adjacent to the story. (more...)

The re-design of SerpentVenom continues with the launch of a new section called simply; "Articles". (more...)

I've just spent most of the day trying to wrangle IE6 into shape. I've also had to struggle to get IE7 to cooperate when the IE8 script is loaded. (more...)

Remember when Friendster was new and the king of social networking? Then they got bogged down because they didn't have the capacity to support the millions of users accessing their site. Next thing you know, MySpace comes along with better capacity and Friendster goes from leader to has been in the market they practically created.

Microsoft has ABANDONED it's pursuit of Yahoo! Now idiot investors are selling off Yahoo stock and driving the price down. So the next time MS comes around, that original off is going to look real good. Maybe I should start clicking again?

They're apparently in cahoots now, so helping Yahoo helps Microsoft. And I won't do that if I can help it. Too bad. I really wanted to see that asshole Ballmer have to suck it up for a change.
