I found a Java animation called 'dots not google' that features swarming behavior. It reminds me of the nanotech swarms in Michael Crichton's novel Prey, showcasing emergent complexity through simple interactive particles.
I discovered that Gmail ignores periods in usernames, so adding dots to your email address doesn't change where messages are delivered. This feature is useful for creating unique address variations for filtering or tracking purposes.
I highlight a technology that uses sprayed microscopic dots to prevent theft by marking property with unique identifiers. This forensic method offers a wide range of applications for tracking stolen items and protecting valuable assets.
I share my reaction to Microsoft dropping Java support in favor of Perl. As a dedicated Perl fan who never found much use for Java, I'm untroubled by this shift in Microsoft's language adoption strategy.
I shared a collection of downloadable books on eSnips featuring authors like Michael Crichton and J.K. Rowling. The post sparked a discussion with readers about the ethics and legality of accessing copyrighted material through unofficial digital repositories.
I explore five stories behind the Google name, focusing on the likelihood that it was a misspelling of "Googol." This error proved fortunate as google.com was available for registration while the correct spelling was not.
