Tech: Some jerkwad wastes beer AND a Palm Pre. Painful to watch.

  • WHY?! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!?! Beer is awesome. So is the Palm Pre. So some jerk decided to combine the two to see what happened. It isn’t pretty. In fact, it’s pretty darn sad. It pains us to watch it. source

Tech: Yo Twitter & Facebook: What the F*&# is “session test”?

  • I get a Session Test every time I try to install the twitter app. I finally gave in and joined twitter and I can’t use with FB. How many days does it take to fix a bug. And who or what is Session Test?
  • Roy Moskowitz • An (understandably) annoyed Facebook user who can’t integrate his account with Twitter because an application called “session test,” whose main purpose seems to be preventing Twitter functionality with Facebook if you’re a new user. Old ones don’t have any problems, but new ones get an error message that says “Error while loading page from ‘session test,'” which sounds like the most cryptic error message ever. And worse, neither company is racing to fix this problem. Screw you Bob McTest, whoever you are. • source
