For few years now, Facebook was overwhelmed by gamers. And it wouldn't be bad if these were regular, PC or console gamers. But no. Some random dudes got the Idea: Hey, let's make a game that involves spamming people's Facebooks with random messages! And, surprisingly, it worked. Nobody knows how or why, but it does.
However, after some time these games were up, scientists came up with an explanation: *Ville players are being subjected to a Skinner "treatment". Let's see how it's done.

New camera, Zemanta and a review coming soon.

My new Kodak EasyShare C182 Camera

That's not how I reacted. That's not even me.
Consider it a stock photo.
Today, I bought a new camera. A crappy, battery-powered, £50 Kodak thing. Only good thing - more or less 12mpix, does nice photos. Didn't test video yet. Has a 2GB card I found in my card reader, the one I used in my phone before I bought a 8GB one. I don't know, I might want to swap them, since maximum video lenght is approximately 40 minutes. Which isn't too bad, but you see, I'm interested in film making. For everyone who's interested, here's the link to Kodak's specs: Kodak Easyshare C182 @ Kodak store.
I might want to do a review on it in future, but I can safely say that: this fucker drains batteries like a thirsty camel drains whisky.
I am also testing a new gadget, called Zemanta. Seems to be OK, and for some longer reviews or articles, it may even provide some helpful pics and traffic. Zemanta sits as a sidebar to the right of the post editor, and manifests itself on the blog with the zemid...zemandi...zombi... Obviously, I'm going bit too far on that one. You'll just have to see. Also, the In-Text links feature seems to be quite useful. Thank you, Zemanta!
Do you remember that review schedule I've posted few weeks ago? Well, I said fuck it and decided to review whatever I feel needs to be reviewed. Thus, next review: The Others, with Nicole Kidman.
