iTele-Phoni - Computer Networks: cool is as cool does

June 15, 2008 By: zenboy Category: Networking 1 Comment →

iTele-Phoni

iTele-phoni makes network cabling cool again!

Remember when Networking was cool? Okay, maybe you are too young, but back in the day anything to do with computer networking was cool with a capital “K”. It was sooo cool to be able to spout jargon like LAN/WAN or even PAN, are you withit MAN? With computer networks, you could even do the CAN/CAN!

iTele-phoni puts a cool sheen over network cabling: the cables are sheathed in a flexible plitanium coated surface which reflects the light in a prismatic effect. Aesthetics do matter, even if it’s the same old cabling being buried under 5 feet of dirt.

Critics, unfazed by the financial success of iTele-phoni, are unmoved:

“They are just encasing the same old network cable in a shiny sheath - nothing revolutionary about that,” responds John J. Jingleheimerschmidt, a networking exec at the Cable Stable. “It’s not even using new technology. Comcast came out with that sheath back in the 90’s. All they are doing is playing catch up.”

Mr. Jingleheimerschmidt did have to admit that iTele-Phoni’s marketing machine is second to none.

“Hey, they can put lipstick on a dog and make it sexy, I’ll give them that, but revolutionary it is not.

iTele-Phoni was announced at the CableWorld Conference in San Francisco on June 8th. The iTele-Phoni’s network cable will transform IP packets into it’s own proprietary IP packet, which will only be able to be deciphered by users using Motorola modems. Software to jail break the proprietary IP packet is being released by independent software developers and is reportedly available on Craigslist and Ebay.

JailByte - delivering journalistic sensationalism to your community!

June 14, 2008 By: cboyer Category: Social Media No Comments →

jailbyte: journalistic sensationalism - at a price!Let’s face it - we’re all sick of online predators creating false profiles and making social networks unsafe. It seems the only justice we could level is publicly humiliating them on national TV. But who has time to lurk online, entrapping these felons while capturing the whole incident on high-definition tape for your local television broadcast?

JailByte does - our company is comprised of social community “specialists” adept at creating fake profiles of teenage girls and boys. These specialists are trained in all aspects of teen culture - music, clothes, likes/dislikes and the newest teen texting trends. Then they lurk online, hoping to draw predators to their profiles, and set up a rendezvous at some undisclosed location (i.e. “a home where the parents are gone for a long weekend”) - little do they know, we are leading them into our state-of-the-art studio.

At our studio/house, JailByte employs the smarmiest interviewers that greet these unsuspecting felons at the front door, and inquire about their intentions, shove copies of licentious email transcripts in their face and ask why they brought beer to this meeting - and we capture it all on four cameras! Once the confrontation ends, our team quickly edits the tape into a six minute clip, properly packaged for your local media outlets! Shame and frustration awaits these predators - and your ratings will rise!

Note: due to legal complications, JailByte is unable to provide our services to aid and assist in any legal enforcement effort.

iInternet

June 13, 2008 By: zenboy Category: Internet No Comments →

Sick of how the internet has become a cesspool of cheesy scraped content, thin affiliate marketing pages, porn and gambling websites? Well, step aside, for a new technology has been born: the iInternet, the internet for the internet!

Going back to the origins of the Internet as a place of learning with the free exchange of ideas among enlightened academics, hi-octane scientists and engineers have created a sort of internet for the Internet.

The Internet was very pleased: “FInally, a place to call our own! Now every site I see doesn’t have to be about porn or gambling, or the egocentric solipsistic whinings of privileged technocrats complaining about how awful their life is - how ’bout me! I’m the one that has to listen to all this crap!”

The iInternet was built as a joint project between IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, Sun Microsystems Google and Al Gore. Apple was notably excluded from discussions. The iInternet has been housed within the tesseract of a wormhole and for now is pristine, truly knowledge driven and uncommercial.

But that may change. The Internet was heard mumbling, ‘Great, now how are we going to make money off this?’
