Crazy old internet video from 1997.
MASTER OF THE INTERNET
Is this supposed to make the internet seem cool? I like the part where they say it only takes 10 minutes. Watch how slow it loads too.
Just got this email that promises to upgrade my internet to Web 2.0. I don’t understand the email at all. It’s spam.

South Park parodies YouTube stars on their latest episode.
Viacom continues to pursue a $1 billion lawsuit against Google’s YouTube for allowing video piracy. On Viacom’s Comedy Central, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone aren’t helping their corporate parent’s legal case. In last night’s episode, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny asked themselves “How Do We Make Money on the Internet?” and predictably, they find it difficult â just like YouTube. This leads to a South Park scene straight out of Viacom CEO Philippe Daumann’s dreams as, one by one, the viral-video sensations that made YouTube so big are destroyed.

Probably due to an Internet Explorer favicon bug, my Windows Live Hotmail favicon turned into a Gmail favicon. Previously it was an ESPN favicon.
(My Windows Live Hotmail icon somehow turned into Gmail.)
This is not the first time I see the wrong favicon. Back then, when using Internet Explorer 6 in Windows XP, I remember encountering something like it. I guess they haven’t really fixed that bug up.
Dave Chappelle tells porn-lovers to make the switch. With larger screens, brighter colors and, erm, cooler dashboard, it’s all a porn-lover could ever want. Another great Mac-switching parody.

Now Kim Jong Il calls himself an internet expert. Funny chap. I believe he is the only one who can afford and is using the internet in North Korea. And it certainly brings whole new meaning to what they call “dedicated access”.
(Our Dear Leader Kim Jong Il!)
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il called himself an ”Internet expert” during summit talks with South Korea’s president this week, a news report said Friday.
The reclusive leader made the remark after South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun asked that South Korean companies operating at an industrial park in the North Korean city of Kaesong be allowed to use the Internet, Yonhap news agency reported, without citing any source.
”I’m an Internet expert too. It’s all right to wire the industrial zone only, but there are many problems if other regions of the North are wired,” Kim told Roh, according to Yonhap.
Kim reportedly asked former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright for her e-mail address when she visited Pyongyang in 2000. A North Korean general cracked a joke about President Bush during high-level military talks with the South earlier this year, saying he read it on the Internet.
The North’s leader is also a big fan of South Korean movies and TV dramas, and Roh gave him a bookcase of South Korean DVDs as a gift this week.

Internet is so useful these days. Sure it has many side effects but the advantages outweighs them.
Kim Jong Il is know to drink US$650,000 worth of Hennessy and Cognac in just a year.

A really well done and creative song highlighting all the people the internet has made famous. Includes all the break classics like the angry German kid, Gary the Numa Numa guy and so many more.
