For those who may not be as familiar with me, I will say this — I am a beer lover. But not a sloppy fall down drunk kind of beer lover, just someone who appreciates a good beer every now and then and likes to try and never drink the same kind twice. That being more »

That is one descriptive title. It totally explains the content of this post. Microsoft has recently come out with its IE8 and I’m sure Firefox is shaking in its boots (if Firefox had boots and actually was afraid of Redmond). Either way, it means that IE6 is even more outdated. At Hugs for Monsters, they have a line of “overly judgmental IE6 splash pages” that could greet users of IE6. The site officially does not care what browser you use, but they mocked up a whole bunch of these pages.

I think I can give you one thing most people like and one thing most people hate. Beer and waiting (in that order of course!). There are been novelty gadgets for beer ever since novelty gadgets have been invented, but this is something new, innovative and something you could see in bars and stadiums before long. I give you, the TRUfil from Scotsman Beverages Systems: the gadget to provide beer without the waiting.

Let me give you important information first: this machine can give you 10 pints in 10 seconds. That’s right, a pint in one second. Keep reading for more details.

Here’s a quick question: would you give up beer before Wi-Fi? According to a new study by the Wi-Fi Alliance, 48 percent of the 501 college students polled would. That wasn’t the only question asked, though to some it can be interesting what college students prefer over beer. Of the students polled, over half admitted to using MySpace, Facebook and/or email during class. That’s not really all that surprising, a lot of college students flood computer labs during free time to check Facebook/MySpace, so why wouldn’t they during class if it’s available?

The main focus of the study, however, seems to be if Wi-Fi helps in college at all. In the study, 79 percent of students “said that without Wi-Fi access, college would be a lot harder.” Again, not surprising. Later, it mentions students getting a head start on assignments on their laptops before class ends, or quickly researching some small detail in order to appear smarter. Another not-so-surprising finding, but an important fact is that more incoming students and their parents are looking at technology when choosing colleges, with 60 percent saying that “widely available Wi-Fi on campus is an indication that a school cares about its students.”
