What’s the reason to put case studies section on your web page, when none of your customers wants to share his story, to look more legitimate?

Kaspersky Anti-Virus v6.0.2 vs OllyDbg

Safari browser is broken

Bartosz — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 13:45:25 +0000

Last weekend i’ve been playing with an iMac, i was checking my website against its Safari browser and i was very pleased to see it works pretty good (all things were rendered correctly).

Now Apple made Safari browser available for Windows too, but its rendering is pretty much broken, most of the sites (except apple.com) are rendered incorrectly (compared to the results from IE, Opera and FF) one way or another.

My website is missing some pieces in Safari (headers, navigation tabs):

At first i thought it’s my fault (some incorrect CSS styling or smth), but then i’ve realized even Google’s site is broken (blank spaces):

I wonder did they even test it in Windows before the release?

Ok, today i wanted to check status of my unused PayPal account, everything went fine until i read that my account is limited becouse i didn’t sign upgraded license terms. So i wanted to sign this god damn thing but i couldn’t find it on their website, instead i found this:

Especially i like the “cannot be appealed” term

I thought, let’s close my current account and create a new one, but it’s not possible with limited accounts

So i can’t use my account, i can’t close it and i can’t create a new account using my current data

Update: already fixed, all i had to do was to read 1MB of documentation

What was the most stupid question you ever faced while installing software? Whatever it was, latest ICQ IM installer has a better one:

Now they know how to create confusion

What has a turtle to do with a chicken

Bartosz — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:02:08 +0000

Another pic of my sick friend, as you see this turtle was fighting, but it got scanned eventually – like always , one other thing, he was calling this turtle a chicken “look at his nails, they’re like chicken’s nails” he kept saying.

Don’t blame me for this, blame stressful education and sugar free cola!
