Matt Gemmell, developer of Mac and iOS apps, created a little funny about tech companies and file menu commands.

The guys at Joy of Tech wondered just that and created a comic that shows what Facebook distilled into a home would look like. Foundation built by Winklevii, open doors because no privacy, tunnels for "friends" to come in, Instagram cameras set up at the dinner table and so much more. Read More >>
Sony's teasing something over on its Facebook page. It looks like a red, round thing that pops open. It might reveal a PS4 disc tray or, more likely, the hole you plug your MP3 player into in order to get the party started. Or, even less thrillingly, it might be an Easter egg. A joke.

Reviving the sort of practise that wasn't even particularly funny back in the 1970s, a Microsoft coder has made the shameful error of naming a key piece of MS kernel code "0xB16B00B5" in hexadecimal. Which translates to human eyes as "Big Boobs." Give that man an E4 sitcom. Read More >>
