"When Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie began creating the Unix operating system in 1969, they did not envision that their work would become a backbone of the computer revolution that has transformed the world. The two Bell Labs computer scientists - named today as winners of the 2011 Japan Prize for information and communications - just wanted to build a better operating system."

Downloaded, and it's got these icons in 32x32, in several colors in various formats: Best are transparent png and gif. There's also jpg on white, with grey round-cornered frame (as classy as non-transparent can be). You also get PSD files, but IMHO the nice things about such packages is *saving* graphic design time ;) Good job.

All you have to do is take some photos – which you never delete from your camera – so when someone finds your camera at the bottom of the gorilla pit they are able to locate you and return the lost property to its rightful owner. http://www.andrewmcdonald.net.au/a-picto...
I like how everything is clear and readable except the email address.
- Alex Scrivener
LOL That's funny, but yeah...what's with the email address being so small?
- Anika
At any rate, I had a video I made with all my info on it. I accidentally took it off my chip, but I'm positive I copied it to my camera. Unfortunately, I don't know how to access my camera's memory and the cord has been lost. One of these days, I'll RTFM. =)

The other pics build empathy, encouraging a border-line thief to return the camera. Otherwise you may as well stick a label on the case and be done with it.

Does anyone else want to make out with this guy for being SO DAMN AWESOME? Srsly, total panty-dropper this one was.

wow, this is very close to being the most popular thing I have ever posted to Friendfeed. Just goes to show, um, something. Always use pictures?
- Alex Scrivener
Yes, Always use pictures! For one thing, I might sketch your stuff one day! Also yes, it helps your posts stand out.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
I'm the opposite. I tend to ignore posts with photos (unless the post itself is just a photo). Why? The image usually detracts from the text and people spend time talking about the picture and making it clear they didn't bother to read the text or link.
- Anika
=/ (not about the original post. I already expressed how much I love it)
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
Or you could just put an address sticker on the camera...
- Lix
No, the pictures try to build an emotional connection with the finder. It helps convince a not-so-honest person to return the camera rather than just keep it. It won't stop a real thief, but it could tip the odds in his favor. A sticker can't do that.
- Alex Scrivener
There should be a place in your camera for email address, like cell phones have "Home" so when you lose it, someone can call you. Hmmmm.
- anna sauce
I wouldn't ever think to go through pics, but if I found a lost cam (or phone or whatever) with an address clearly visible on it, I'd pop it in the mail, or call/email someone, no problem. Same holds true for some lost and found places. They might call you if there's easy contact info, but I don't see them taking the time to flip through photos to figure out how. Maybe do both?
- Lix
I was putting a README.txt file on my USB sticks with contact info if it got lost. This is way better! Now take this board with your contact info.... smile, no! put a sad face.... and you're done!

This is now far and away the most popular thing I have ever posted. Even got a FFundercats Best of the Week!

Great resource! It actually has a neater & more appealing interface than that of Google and the results were much better for MHWD. Lovin' it!

Sometimes I think we all need to remember two facts about humanity: 1) people sometimes do stupid things even when they're not stupid 2) people sometimes react emotionally even when they're not overly emotional. It pays to keep both of these in mind when dealing with humans, both offline and on.

I wonder if there should be a room called that. Its profile pic could be that stern shot of Bunneh on the post about coming back like parents who have been out for the evening, only to find the kids and the babysitter have trashed the place. When things get sticky, someone could say, "Okay, you two! In the DL Room and don't come out until you've shaken hands!"

Менеджеры компании TomTom в шоке. Сегодня Nokia объявила об открытии бесплатного сервиса спутниковой навигации для своих пользователей по всему миру. Это заявление прозвучало вскоре после того как Nokia приобрела Navteq. Отныне любой обладатель телефона Nokia поддерживающего GPS и имеющего доступ к Ovi Maps, сможет воспользоваться услугой спутниковой навигации – в любой [...]

"It’s finally here: a soda-powered mobile phone! Sarcasm aside, someone has really developed this. What was probably just a laughed-off concept before is now a reality: Chinese developer Daizi Zheng has designed a Nokia cylindrical cell phone that is fueled by soft drinks, but especially by Coca-Cola. (I wonder if that partnership was planned, or they’re just going to be getting some free publicity off all this.)"

I read that as rocks used for falling in love. Like cupid's arrow. Just hurl them at the one you want to fall in love with. This is how my mind works, people.
