The King of Bombs
March 24th, 2007 | Category: video, technologyStraying away from the trash that I have been posting these days, I thought we could all use a little lesson in Soviet Nuclear History. The largest bomb ever detonated was called the “TSAR BOMBA” (King of Bombs) on October 30, 1961. This bomb had an estimated yield of about 50 megatons (it’s alot, trust me…).
The bomb alone weighed 27 tonnes. It was equipped with a parachute to slow down the descent so it wouldn’t incinerate the plane dropping it. It was dropped at 11:32am over the Mityushikha Bay nuclear testing range north of the Arctic circle. The heat from the explosion would have caused 3rd degree burns up to 100km from the detonation site. The mushroom cloud was about 60km high and 30-40 km wide, and the explosion could be seen and felt as far as Finland.
We can thank Wikipedia for being a great source of information. Enjoy the show.

Let me guess, you can’t install programs at work yet you are dying to listen to mp3’s? You can’t wait to get home to try and download the new Tracey Bonham??? I bet you’re too lazy to bring some cd’s from home too. Well guess what?! I-hacked has a solution for you. Using different search syntax (unlike the typical “star wars naked pictures princess leia spread eagle yoda c3p0 3way lightsaber”) you are able to search through directories of mp3s upload by other people. No wonder Google is the best search engine out there (is there even another one???). The g2p.org website has stepped it up a notch and made it easier for you to look for music. It does all the nasty querying for you. Have fun.

MORE? Oh man. I stopped using iTunes after I mistakenly installed it when I first got my iPod. As soon as I found the winamp plugin (now built in) I axed iTunes. It just loves to have control of everything. It’s hard enough having every program I install want to auto update itself, nevermind ones that always take over my file associations.
One of the new features makes me laugh. I don’t know when it was first introduced but the “Full-Screen Cover Flow” gets a big two thumbs down. In full-screen mode you are able to look at album covers, with VOLUME AND TRACK CONTROLS BUILT IN! Maybe I am not the kind of person that can appreciate looking at album covers. I usually buy music for my ears, not for my eyes. I’ll stick to winamp, it’s small, and plays music. I like music. Music = Goodness.
Anyway, I can’t believe people still use it. It’s only cause it’s bundled with it. Maybe that’s why people still use Windows Media Player. If they tried GOM Player or Winamp they might be surprised that there are other options out there.
Let’s cross our fingers for the best.
