I can’t say I’ve ever thought about what Miles Davis’ classic album “Kind of Blue” would sound like if it was ion 8-bit, but apparently someone else did. Warning: they want actual cash for the whole thing. The samples are well worth the visit though.

If you’re like me and enjoy your FireFox extensions a little too much and acquire too many after awhile, hopefully breaking up each tab into its own process (a la Google Chrome an supposedly IE 8, which i was unaware of) will make FireFox more stable and not have the whole browser crash due to one tab’s malfunction.

You know the “now loading” Flash preloaders you sometimes see on particularly busy websites, but now see a little less as broadband gets more popular? Watch one after another (after another (after another)) and relive some of them from 2002-2008. Look, I don’t know why you’d want to either, just go there already.

The Dot Eaters does a fantastic job of compiling information on old computer games, all the way back to 1958 and an early rendition of pong. Great photos, videos and more.

Whatisthatfile.com is trying to create a user-driven database of known spyware/virus/trojan files. Just enter a suspicious filename from your computer and see if it gets a hit. Since it’s user-driven, there’s room for error. It’s a good idea overall, I hope it works out.
