HDMI cable myths and places to buy all kinds of cheap cables

I saw this info-graphic awhile ago and thought it would be good to repost it.  Basically, since HDMI is all digital, the signal is either going to get there or it’s not, so it doesn’t matter whether the cable costs $5 or $500. You’re better off going with the $5 one though…

If you’re looking for cheap cables, be sure to check out MonoPrice as well as DeepSurplus.  Both have some great deals on cables that cost much more elsewhere.

Cool HTML5 Boilerplate Template

Looks like a cool HTML5 template to start any project with.  Here’s the description from their site:

HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass’s base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.
After more than two years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain ajax and flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on.
Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it’s just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.

iPhone News: iOS 4.02 and Ultrasn0w 1.1.1 Released

Apple has just released iOS 4.02 for the iPhone which fixes the PDF security flaw that allowed the jailbreakme.com web site to function. As most good jailbreakers now now, do NOT upgrade to this version of the software as it is currently un-jailbreakable.

In other news, Ultrasn0w 1.1.1 has been released (the tool you need to unlock your iPhone).  This new release has been tweaked and should improve standby battery performance.

I’m currently waiting on my new factory unlocked iPhone 4 which is coming from the UK.  My friend, who waited for about an hour at the new Covent Garden Apple Store to pick one up, tells me that the line for the unlocked iPhone was about 100 people when he got there and 300 people when he left. There was no line at all for iPhones with a service contract.

He also says that a lot of the people in the line were foreigners wanting to get one.  The Apple employee told him that they were moving around 3,000 iPhones a day from that location alone.  They had gotten a new shipment the previous night and expected to be sold out by that afternoon.

Craigslist Updates Its Look

Craigslist Updates Its Look

Wow. After years and years of keeping the same old design, Craigslist has actually started to tweak its look.  Yes, these design changes are minimal, but it has made the site look a lot “cleaner.”  They’ve even added some JavaScript menu navigation on the sides.

Like I said, nothing revolutionary, but a huge change for a site that has resisted making any changes over the years.

Best resignation ever.

Best resignation ever.

This girl quits her job by sending 33 photos on a dry erase board to her entire office. Hilarious…

Check out the rest of the photos at The Chive.

UPDATE: Turns out it was all a hoax.  People believed it because I think everyone at some point would have wanted to quit this way.
