These ephemeral pics capture alcohol exploding at high speeds. They look like the mushroom clouds of atomic bombs or scans of the human brain. And to think, these are substances we put in our bodies on a regular basis.

Google has finally admitted that the Click-To-Call cancelation post yesterday was done by a hacker. Well, they actually don’t refer to the person as a hacker and instead call them an “unauthorized user.” That does sound much nicer but the truth of the matter is that they were hacked.
Just looking through the post that the person wrote made me hope that they were hacked. There were spelling and grammatical errors in it that any spell checker would have caught. If a Google employee would have actually written that then it could have made me question their intelligence. 🙂
The funniest part about the whole situation is that the previous post was all about how seriously Google looks at security. In that post they go on to say “Google takes security very seriously and designs all of its services and applications to protect your privacy and data security.” I guess Google should also focus on their own security 😉 . Nah, many systems have flaws and it is just a matter of having them exposed. It was just ironic the timing the hacker had.
Thanks for the tip Curtiss! If you missed the post for the few minutes it was up make sure to check out the screenshot that Curtiss took.

Job adverts aren’t most reliable way to hear about new technology, but interesting ones do crop up from time to time, and that’s why our eyes are drawn to one recently posted by Daimler, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. The ad requests the…

So everyone knows you as the resident funny guy, but you seem to have run short on ideas recently in order to introduce laughs into the lives of those whom are close to you. Why not get back to the basics with something that is really nutty? The $35 Hanaga Tap Nose Outlet ought to fit the bill perfectly, as you surprise your household at the end of the day when they return home from work, only to discover a lookalike of a human nose plugged into a power outlet.
The Hanaga Tap Nose Outlet is a designer electrical plug accessory which has been shaped to resemble that of a human nose, complete with nostrils. At least there will be no boogers to worry about with this eye-catching accessory, where you will be able to select from a trio of colors – white, pink or black. Compatible devices that will be able to play nice with this particular snout would be those which play nice with any two-pronged outlet, where it ought to work just fine as long as the device using has been rated at under 1,500 watts. This is for two pronged outlets only, so those who live in countries with a different power outlet would do well to obtain an adapter plug beforehand. It’s so cool, you might even catch a chill!

LG G2 mini set to rock and roll
Posted in: Today's Chili
They say that good things come in a pair, and many smartphone manufacturers in recent memory have rolled out a “mini” version of their flagship device, such as Samsung with their Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (although it remains to be seen whether the Galaxy S5 will feature a mini version) as well as the HTC One mini. Well, South Korean manufacturer, LG, wants in on the game as well, which is why they have introduced the LG G2 mini to the masses that might be small in stature, but big on performance.
The LG G2 mini will feature a 4.7” display at 960 x 540 resolution, where a 2,440mAh battery will keep things running, at least for the entire day. Underneath the hood, you will be able to find a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8926 (LTE) / MSM8226 (3G) processor, accompanied by a quad-core 1.7GHz NVIDIA Tegra 4i (LATAM LTE version) chipset, where there is 8GB of internal memory, 1GB RAM, an SD memory card slot for expansion purposes among others.
As for its connectivity options, the LG G2 mini will support the Bluetooth 4.0 standard, where there will also be Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), A-GPS, and NFC (4G LTE version only) capability thrown into the mix. Depending on your taste, you can choose from Titan Black, Lunar White, Red, and Gold shades, although do take into consideration that the availability of the colors depend on the particular region.
It will run on the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system, where the entire chassis would measure a pocket-friendly 129.6mm x 66mm x 9.8mm. Expect the LG G2 mini to roll out globally this month with the 3G Dual SIM model in CIS countries, where it will be followed not too long after by major markets in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, where among them include Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Europe.

Weebly: Websites Creation Made Easy
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis article was written on December 11, 2006 by CyberNet.
Creating a fresh looking website can be time consuming but Weebly aims to make the chore a little less daunting. This AJAX site creator is loaded with simplicity so much so that almost anyone could jump in and start using it. Placing elements on the page is as easy as dragging and dropping them where you would like them to appear.
I have created a quick test page here that demonstrates the ability to create multiple column layouts. I also threw an RSS feed reader widget on the page that retrieves the news from this site and which makes it easy for you to gather news from several different sources. There isn’t really any content on the page but I only spent 2-minutes putting it together (3-minutes if you include signing up).
It is nice to be able to publish the site to a subdomain that you can choose (ours is cybernetnews.weebly.com). That means you can test the service and analyze whether the templates (currently 19 are available and 6 are pictured above) are right for you. If everything goes smoothly and you really like the end result you can just download what Weebly generated as a single ZIP file.
Here is a video from the developers that demonstrates the capabilities and features of Weebly:
I see this service becoming popular for people who are just looking to post a profile, resume, or create a quick site for a work/school project. This service is sure to grow as more themes are made available.
Thanks for the tip Radu!

Well, that took awhile. Remember Instacube, the purpose-built digital photo frame designed to pull images directly from your Instagram feed? The Android-powered photo screen found itself short on both funding and manufacturing options last summer….
