"If there’s one thing we expect from Google it’s a focus on performance. Heck, Google released its own browser, Google Chrome, primarily to take JavaScript performance to the next level! Seeing code like this, one has to wonder if Google could have achieved the same thing by teaching its engineers to write better JavaScript code." - altblue

"On Sept. 9, torrential rains in Istanbul,Turkey flooded much of the city's Ikitelli section. Among the buildings flooded by the rising waters was a Vodafone data center (see news mentions at Total Telecom and a Turkish news site). The event was captured on the data center's security cameras, and the video has been posted online. The video begins with a view from the security area, where a shallow layer of water is quickly transformed into a flood that levels furniture. At about the 6:15 mark the view shifts to the raised floor area, which soon takes on water as well. This video runs about 8 minutes." - altblue

Scriitorul Romulus Vulpescu semnalează "atacul" erorilor comise din ignoranţă, construcţii care fac ravagii în exprimarea de zi cu zi. Fără să fie "un pomelnic exhaustiv", Romulus Vulpescu prezintă "o sumă de aberaţii" cu o mare putere de circulaţie în presă. A atenţiona, a concluziona, periculozitate, ora doisprezece, a cere scuze în loc de a cere iertare, prins în flagrant sînt cîteva exemple de greşeli flagrante. - altblue

Alexandru Tomescu, singurul muzician din Romania care canta pe o vioara Stradivarius, a realizat la sfarsitul saptamanii trecute un experiment inedit. Imbracat cu haine modeste, artistul a coborat in statia de metrou din Piata Victoriei si timp de o jumatate de ora a interpretat cateva dintre cele mai complexe piese clasice, create pentru vioara. Efectul muzicii de calitate asupra bucurestenilor care se aflau la o ora cu trafic de varf in statia de metrou a fost neasteptat. - altblue
