This dude hacked Myspace so that he ended up with roughly a million friend requests. It's a pretty funny read. If you're wondering what those Myspace pictures mean, go here (pretty funny as well).

"Progress is exponential–not just a measure of power of computation, number of Internet nodes, and magnetic spots on a hard disk–the rate of paradigm shift is itself accelerating, doubling every decade. Scientists look at a problem and they intuitively conclude that since we’ve solved 1 percent over the last year, it’ll therefore be one hundred years until the problem is exhausted: but the rate of progress doubles every decade, and the power of the information tools (in price-performance, resolution, bandwidth, and so on) doubles every year. People, even scientists, don’t grasp exponential growth. During the first decade of the human genome project, we only solved 2 percent of the problem, but we solved the remaining 98 percent in five years."

Article on Orkut and its 7.5 million Brazilian users.

This Java OS looks pretty cool, although I bet it eats up resources like crazy.
