There are 3 things of note in this image. The Hard Rock cafe sign, the Randstand sign and the Luykx van. The third one, unfortunately, is a red herring that I wasted a minue or so with. Zooming in to the HR sign, you see it reads 'near Leidseplein' which is Amsterdam. On Google maps, I found and streetviewed th…

You went to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam

This made my day: "Now, I've seen more helmets than Hitler, but the sight of his long-dong silver made my flange custard weep like Adele waiting for Greggs to open."

I need a VPN focused almost entirely on speed for a UK IP. Not bothered about anonymity etc, just want something cheap and speedy. Any suggestions????

Megaupload has files on all the major rappers as well—mp3 files mostly

How I did it:

1. Starlings outcompete bluebirds so the latter's population dwindles. Starlings were introduced by the American Acclimatization Society. The mere mention of them in Henry IV Part I was seemingly a legitimate enough reason to introduce them.

I had to google his wife and was like... 'wtf ferris bueller is married to... her?'

It'll only work if you post your bank details and credit card info here as well

The beauty of living in a block of flats with shared connection... can't see my stuff (because I don't torrent—naturally) but I can sure as hell see what my nextdoor neighbour is 'into'!

Admittedly, this is a little hypocritical given Gizmodo's own intrusive adverts.

When you press the red X it goes to the system tray unless you specify in the preferences that X means exit. You could just right click on the tray icon and select 'exit'

Well, actually he didn't have kids (that we know of) and his wife died with him, so little family to speak of that would mourn his demise.

This is really funny. Only a minute ago I was trying to get the localized Danish (where I now am) version of google instead of .co.uk... sometimes I think blogs like this have mind reading capabilities

I thought that as well, the BBC didnøt pay £1,800,000 for a non slanted version of their logo and a different typeface. They got the whole branding she-bang (http://www.bbc.co.uk/historyofthebbc/resources/in-depth/bbc_logo.shtml)

I assume you'd also cite the original source? Then why bother citing Wikipedia! It's like citing Google because you found a certain source or reference there.

Is the new Wikipedia reference tooltip a new feature (or an extension I've installed)? Could that explain—at least to an extent—the reason for the outage?

I actually disagree. It's a little amateurish to cite Wikipedia. As Wiki God Jimmy Wals says: "Citing an encyclopedia for an academic paper at the University level is not appropriate - you aren't 12 years old any more, it's time to step up your game and do research in original sources."…

UK computing retailer Maplin has been doing this for the last couple of months, going so far as to offer a 90 min delivery. Must admit, I have never tried it but it looks incredible!
