pPeter Ha from a href=”http://techland.com/author/thepeterha/”TIME Magazine’s Techland/a joins us again today to wrap up a week’s worth of stories, including yesterday’s Facebook meltdown, Adidas sneakers inspired by Boba Fett, Wil Wheaton, Halo: Reach, Moleskines, and more!/P
pWe kick off the show with Peter showing off his new limited-edition a href=”http://sneakernews.com/2010/09/15/star-wars-x-adidas-originals-zx800-boba-fett/”Star Wars X Adidas Originals ZX800 sneakers/a with side panels inspired by Boba Fett! You can see that the shoes are influenced by Boba Fett’s weathered armor, and the special a href=”http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mandalorian”Mandalorian/a patches on the heels. Peter definitely made the right choice…the a href=”http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/08/07/adidas-originals-x-star-wars-fallwinter-2010-chewbacca-boots/”Adidas Chewbacca shoes/a from the same collection aren’t quite as subtle./p
pPeter also tells us about the news around Techland, and apparently actor Wil Wheaton (a href=”http://en.academic.ru/pictures/enwiki/87/WesleyCrusher2366.jpg”Wesley Crusher/a from Star Trek: The Next Generation) is now writing for the Web site. Check out all of Wil’s articles online, including a href=”http://techland.com/2010/09/02/the-evolution-of-e-mail-spam/”The Evolution of E-mail Spam/a, a href=”http://techland.com/2010/06/24/why-i-hate-drm-example-147000000/”Why I Hate DRM/a, and a href=”http://techland.com/2010/06/14/recovering-from-w00tstock/”Recovering from W00tstock/a./p
pApparently CNET wasn’t the only office that almost went up in smoke after Facebook mysteriously displayed a a title=”Facebook suffers ‘worst outage’ in 4 years; Qwest sees packet loss — Thursday, Sep 23, 2010″ href=”http://news.cnet.com/8301-30684_3-20017463-265.html”DNS error yesterday afternoon/a. Soon after, Facebook software engineering director Robert Johnson blamed the technical error on a change to the site that caused configuration value errors for every client, causing Facebook’s clusters to be “overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands of queries a second./p
pTo fix this error, engineers utilized a classic troubleshooting method that’s spanned a hundred of years of electrical design: turn it off, and then back on again. That’s all it took, and while some users might still experienced intermittent errors over the next few days, the majority of us can sleep well knowing our profiles are still intact and open for liking./p
