Alex Halavais: «When you copy things from the web into Word, ignoring #3 above, don’t just “Edit > Paste” it into your document. When I am reading a document in black, Times New Roman, 12pt, and it suddenly changes to blue, Helvetica, 10pt (yes, really), I’m going to guess that something odd may be going on.

What if, seconds before your laptop began stalling, you could feel the hard drive spin up under the load? Or you could tell if an electrical cord was live before you touched it?

Not much to say about that - I just love the subtle colours. Might work as a reference when working in 3D.
eMeidi: «Mit einem weinenden und einem lachenden Auge habe ich soeben zur Kenntnis genommen, dass der Begriff eMeidi in Nachrichten, die über Partyguide verschickt werden, zensiert wird.»
Terra Nova about the shift in meaning of some abbreviations in internet speak: In a world of text communication where real-life facial expressions and vocal intonations are impossible, abbreviations like “lol” sacrifice their real meaning in order to articulate our nuanced intentions. They, in and of themselves, become glib, cliche — while at the same time almost necessary for expression online.
