My bad, I definitely didn't understand this article :)

Will probably be much easier putting your things into ziplock bags then squeezing them through a tiny balloon hole.

Similar to Stockdale's belief, Viktor Frankl wrote in his book Man's Search for Meaning that many prisoners in Nazi concentration camps died around Christmas because they had such strong hope that they would be home by Christmas that when it did come around and there was no sign of relief they died after simply losing…

It's not an extension but if you have a tiny drop of HTML skills, you might be able to make your own page with Google as the title and then put a frame inside that loads Facebook.

You don't have to give them your password for most sites, but they definitely still have unfettered access to whatever accounts you do add.

Where I live there are no services to send your emails to you as an sms (all the email2sms gateways have limits or make you pay) so I used ifttt to check my gmail and send me an sms whenever I get new email. Especially useful since push email is not an option as mobile Internet is quite expensive.

Yeah it makes sense, I did a quick test by zooming into the page which resulted in seeing Einstein even more clearly (maybe my eye sight isn't as good as I though it was) and when zooming out of the page the image changed to Monroe.

I would imagine that moisturiser helps because your hands are more susceptible to cuts when your skin is dry.

I don't understand the relation between it and Windows 7. The video shows something like being able to run a virtualization of Windows 7 in Windows 8, which doesn't seem very seamless if you ask me.

However affordable the monitors are, you are not going to get them. "Apple no longer sells these particular models"
