A lot of people use the Internet to find porn. A lot of people use Firefox (go download Firefox 3.6!) In fact, I'd go as far to suggest that porn surfers -- or at least the search for naughty, illicit, adult-only material -- account for Firefox's biggest market demographic. The 'young' Internet -- blogs, social networks, porn -- is predominantly ruled by the spotty teenagers of the browser world: Firefox and Chrome. Internet Explorer's total market share is larger, but corporations, geriatrics and aging family computers -- i.e. the non-porn world -- account for most of that. I'm not expecting you to raise your hand or even nod your agreement, but let's face it: most of us, at some time or another, will search for porn. It makes sense to be prepared for such an eventuality -- I think we all know the perils of loud, auto-playing sex music or aggressive pop-ups of hairy, German MILFs that just. won't. close. Note: all of the links in this feature are safe. Don't worry: you should be fine to read this at work. Continue reading Off the clock: The Ultimate Porn Surfing Firefox Add-ons

So first I'm going to show you some neat desktop apps that might make your Facebook experience more streamlined, and certainly more enjoyable. The Facebook website is pretty slow at the best of times, so moving to desktop apps can significantly speed things up. In some cases -- such as uploading lots of photos -- a desktop app might also be the only decent solution. Let's get going! Continue reading 5 desktop apps that'll make swift work of FaceVille -- er, Facebook!

As you can probably tell, I'm not as savvy when it comes to software -- sure, I know my way around a computer, but it's nothing like the prowess that Lee and Jay display here on Download Squad. You see... I'm a geek. Not a Mac nerd like Jay, or a security-Linux-OMG-netbook dweeb like Lee -- I'm a geek. I get excited about the things people do with computers. A virus-free computer is cool but calculating and navigating a path to the moon is frickin' awesome. What I've tried to compile here are the 10 greatest applications of software and computers in the year of 2009. Even the most die-hard, odorous and bearded nerd should find something to squeal about in this list. In no particular order (I'm not that brave)... Continue reading Seb's 10 greatest, geekiest and most awesome things of 2009

So.. we all meet people from time to time that make us laugh and at the same time terrify us at a level that we are not sure whether to stand around and watch what happens next or start legging it to the nearest safe house. I don’t expect any awards for my Internet design or layout or even my incredibly amazing way with words but at least I am not delusional.

This page MostAmazingSiteontheinternet.com just won an award in my eyes as the most terrifyingly bad web site I have ever had the misfortune to see. What amazes me is that after making me want to stab my own eyes out with my mouse he actually has the cheek to ask for a donation to whatever mad cause he has going on in his head at the bottom of the page. I also implore you to read about his comment about guns for that extra tingling “epic mental dude” spine chill feeling. Warning: Pressing the link may make you want to hurt kittens.

If there is one thing I hate it’s smug Mac owners bumping their gums about how bloody secure their system is. As an IT guy myself I have been trying to explain to people for years that the reason there are not that many viruses and trojans for macs and linux is because no one really cares. I mean, are you going to spend hours of your time trying to figure out a loophole in an operating system that 1% use when you can be targetting large greedy companies who run huge networks of over 50000 computers? No.. didn’t think so.

This guy though thought he would shut them up a bit by hacking into the mac in 10 seconds flat. All he needed to do was to get the user to point to a specific url and it was over. Computerworld – Charlie Miller, a security researcher who hacked a Macintosh in two minutes last year at CanSecWest’s PWN2OWN contest, improved his time today by breaking into another Macintosh in under 10 seconds.

Miller, formerly with the National Security Agency, may be best known as one of the first to hack Apple’s iPhone last summer. In August 2007, he also blasted Apple for its sluggish updating of the open-source components it uses in its operating system, calling the practice “negligent.”

If you are a bit like me then you get a bit bored seeing the same car designs, the same boat designs and pretty much ever other design out there. It is almost like people out there who do this for a living don’t try anymore and just copy an existing template and change a few angles here and there. Then when someone comes along and makes a design like this it makes you stop a bit and hit the “oh wait a minute” button to doublecheck its really true.

Oculus

The Olucus is a very futuristic looking yacht from Schöpfer Yachts. Its 250-foot, can accommodate 12 guests and can travel at speeds up to 25 knots. It got a double-height dining room, an elevator and a special area for ‘the owner’ + a lot more.

If there ever was something you would miss but know well you couldn’t take with you to a deserted island I am sure a cheeseburger would be one of them. Well maybe not.. but I for one would really miss a cheeseburger after chasing strange animals around the island in my loin cloth screaming obsenities and throwing slightly sharp sticks at them. Well now this is possible! A company from Switzerland has managed to pack one of these ready cooked bueaties into a can that can apparently stay fresh for up to a year! I somehow doubt that it would look this good when you opened the lid or even smell that appetizing but at least the option is there eh?
