لا يمكن الحصول على ما يكفي من الطيور الغاضبة? تلعب على الانترنت

Playing Angry Birds 1-1
عصفور أحمر تصطدم هيكل, قتل خنزير في عملية

إذا بطارية هاتفك تبقي على الموت لأنك تنفق كل وقتك لعبة المحمولة تحظى بشعبية كبيرة الطيورالغاضبة (أو إذا كنت رخيصة جدا لشراء الطيور الغاضبة), يجب أن تكون متحمس جدا حول هذا التطور الأخير.

يمكنك الآن اللعب غاضب الطيور على الانترنت هنا. وهنا ما تحتاج:

  1. متصفح لائق (المزيد عن هذا في وقت لاحق)
  2. أدوبي فلاش (آسف, المستخدمين إيديفيسي)

وبما أن URL (chrome.angrybirds.com) قد تلمح, الطيورالغاضبة يعمل بشكل أفضل في كروم. لقد حاولت ذلك على عدة متصفحات وهنا ما وجدتها:

Microsoft buys Skype

Skype logoMicrosoft has bought the popular IM/voice chat application Skype (جيد, not just the product, the whole company) for $8.5 billion, making it Microsoft’s largest purchase ever. I find that a little funny since Skype actually made a loss of $7 million last year.

لكن, when you think about it, it makes some sense. Skype has 663 million user accounts (بالطبع, not all of them are active) and about 8 million paying usersobviously not very many, but it’s still some.

بنج: المحرك الصغير الذي… لم أستطع?

If you’ve bought an electronic device in the last year, you’ll notice that Microsoft is hawking its search engine Bing more than I hawk my products. (On a totally unrelated note, download عنزة, my free and open-source flashcard program.)

هذا كل شيء حسن وجيد, since you’re allowed to advertise, but Microsoft really goes to the extreme:

  1. Microsoft signed a deal with Blackberry so that Bing would be the only search engine available on Blackberrys.
  2. My sister bought a new computer and was offered a free song download if she searched with Bing.

ننسى محركات أقراص فلاش مع Dropbox

أنا متأكد من أن هذا يحدث لكثير من الناس: لديك ملف مهم على محرك فلاش وتحتاج إلى تسليمه في, طباعته, أو أن أعتبر في مكان آخر. المشكلة الوحيدة? تفقد محرك فلاش. حدث لي مرات كثيرة جدا.

ولهذا السبب قررت أن تتجنب محركات أقراص فلاش والبريد الإلكتروني الاشياء لنفسي واستخدام قوة الانترنت.

لقد وجدت المربع المنسدل, الذي يتيح لي الوصول إلى الملفات من أي مكان بلدي طالما لدي اتصال بالإنترنت. ولست بحاجة حتى ومضة تدفع أي أكثر; يمكنني فقط تخزين كل ما أحتاج على حساب قطاف بلدي.

اقتراح جذري قليلا للمدارس

I’ve often been asked the questionIf you could be king of the world for a day, what would you do?” First of all, I’d make myself king permanently, but that’s not the point. Here’s my slightly radical proposal that would be the second thing I’d do if I were king for a day.

I’m part of a club that takes out the recycling in our school in the morning. Let me tell you, we collect a lot of paper: if I collect the paper of maybe 15 rooms that haven’t had their paper collected in a few days, I can fill up a whole trash can. Not the small trash cans you have in your house, I mean ones as big as janitors use. That’s a lot.

Trouble at the PlayStation Network

If you’ve been watching the news lately, you’ll have noticed that the PlayStation Network, which provides online gameplay and digital game shopping for owners of PlayStation 3 and PSP devices, has been down since last Wednesday. Their on-demand streaming service, Qriocity, is also down. There’s been a huge buzz about it for the last week, but it’s hard to cut through the buzz to get the actual information. I’ve done a little digging, so here are some of the basics.

SeeingFridayin a different light

If you want a break from the tech talk

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you’ve probably heard of (and had the misfortune of listening to) Rebecca Black’s Friday. تعلمون, that song with the 13-year-olds driving cars and the nasally teenager wondering where to sit? That one.

After a shocking experience (more about that later), I’ve had to start questioning why I (and pretty much everyone I know) hate the song. Breaking it down:

  • The lyrics are junk, but most pop songs have meaningless lyrics anyway.
  • The tune’s pretty catchy, no faults there.
