GeoGuessr.com takes you to a random location on google maps and asks you to guess the location, and then grades your accuracy. It is very challenging, even when signs are present. If you guess the correct country, consider it a win. To register your guess, click on the map, located in the upper right corner, in the general vicinity of your guess. Refine your guess by clicking the “+” to zoom in an drag the indicator to your final guesstimate and click the “Make guess” button.
Lifehacker published a list of ten technology practices that are useless , or just wrong. The article had some good advice, but I question a few of them;
9. Lossless Music Sounds Better than MP3 – Many people, especially younger people, with more acute hearing, can hear the degradation of music caused by compression (IMHO).
4. You Should Fully Discharge Your Laptop Battery Every Time – The jury is still out on this one, different manufacturers have different recommendations.
1. [Insert Tweak Here] Will Speed Up Your Computer – At first, this tip seems reasonable, but it finishes with ‘With proper care, you should never need to do a clean install of Windows again.’ I find this last bit of advice to be wrong. Most people are not conscientious enough with pc maintenance and so they usually will benefit greatly from an occasional reinstall (every 1 or 2 years) of Windows.
Read the entire article HERE and see if you agree with their advice.
This wikipedia page is a massive collection of strange articles from wikipedia. If you have some time to kill, you will find something of interest in this long, categorized list. Here’s one to start off – Bubbly Creek.
Akinator is an online 20 questions game. You think of any famous person or character and Akinator asks a series of questions to determine your person or character. Akinator is very good at the game. You must give a User name, age and sex before playing and the webpage looks like crap, but it is a great way to kill a few minutes.
Interesting little time-waster. Guess the age of the person in a photo and then get the person’s actual age and how your guess compares to the guesses of others.
