BBC – Newsbeat – Guns N’ Roses bottled off stage in Dublin.
What a surprise! Guns N’ Roses try to show how important and cool they are by being late to the stage. Again. Spectators respond by bottling them off stage. You can’t say that that was surprising.
After Reading and Leeds, the band should have learnt their lessons. No one is impressed that you arrive an hour late to the stage. And if you carry on longer than you’re supposed to, because you arrived late, no wonder they pull you off stage when you play past the curfew.
Seriously, G N’ R, it’s not 1990 any more, you’re not the biggest band in the world any longer. Grow up.
OMG! I am insanely excited about this! A new series from Matt Lucas and David Walliams!

Dear Universe,
Please buy me one of these.
Art.Lebedev: Optimus Popularis First Look.
Thank you.
I’ve been thinking over the past few days (god above knows what caused this train of thought….) about one feature I have never seen implemented in a Webmail system. I’ve used a few different systems in my time, Yahoo! mail, Excite, Squirrel Mail, Horde, a couple of other dodgy implementations that I can’t remember, and most recently GMail (which I’m still pretty much in love with.) But still none of these have let you see multiple email accounts in the same page.
Now, I know that the big providers let you access another account, typically by POP3, but these just download the email from your other account and dump it into your webmail inbox.
Compare this to an email application on your Desktop – whether that be Outlook, Mail.app, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, etc – when you add multiple accounts with those systems, you view each account completely separately. Some offer a unified inbox (which is great) but I also want to be able to split my email accounts out.
Ideally, I’d like to be able to access them using IMAP as well (but because of bandwidth, etc, that’s a bit of a pipe dream)
Thinking about this more, here’s how I would like it to work in Gmail.
- Emails are downloaded from my other accounts via POP3
- The “inbox” label is used for all emails downloaded – this becomes my unified inbox
- A link below the “Inbox” link on the left should be shown for all of the different accounts. This would include the default GMail Inbox. Clicking on one of these would show the inbox of just that account.
- A separate “account:” search flag is created for each account. This makes searching easier.
- The “Multiple Inboxes” labs feature could be used split out each account at the main inbox screen as well.
- Labels and filters work as they currently do.
What do you think Google? How about it?
Is This the Craziest Bridge Ever Designed?
I’m going to Hong Kong just so I can see this bridge (once it’s built of course)!
This article from Andy Croll is something that I hadn’t thought about before.
The End of :hover.
Basically, if you have a touch enabled device (like iPhone, iPad, Android, etc), you can’t use the :hover CSS attribute.
Andy also points out that the onmouseover etc items just don’t work either, and the same also applies to Flash.

Ask a Biologist Q&A – Grizzly Bear vs. Lion
I remember a similar conversation of topic being raised on QI once. Apparently, bears would frequently win because they have a massive crushing power with their paws. One swipe to the head and the lion’s skull is crushed.
