NFL Player's Death Eerily Predicted Hours Before By Fake Twitter Account

Dec 18th 2009 6:05PM on Switched.com

I seem to recall something simiar with Wikipedia and wrestler Chris Benoit a while back (here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2007-07-02/Wrestler_death). I imagine this will become more common as the stream of info online increases. Scary stuff.

Oh, so Chad is the one responsible for the almost pitch-black stage at the last Engadget show? I was there in the audience and could barely see Ballmer's shiny head. More light next time, Chad!

iWork files are really just zip files, and contain PDF previews

@Ben: Now you're just getting technical. It doesn't change the fact that the Open Office XML standard negates the need for an entire separate PDF file to be stored along with the document, keeping file size down.

"Wouldn't it be nice if Word, Excel, and Powerpoint did this?"

Uhm... They do; .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, etc. are all ZIP files containing an XML hierarchy, called Office Open XML. You can go in and change every aspect of the document _as plaintext_ just by opening it as a zip file. Plus, no file bloat with an unnecessary PDF file.

The great Google Wave invite giveaway!

Yo Darren, the media slobberfest over Obama began in '04 at Kerry's DNC... wayyy before '06. Check your facts, fool.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
