Elliott C. Back: Internet & Technology

Do you think they look alike at all?

I found this via The Triumph of Bullshit; it’s a real gem:

Just plug your SnūzNLūz in and either connect it to your network via the RJ45 jack on the back, or via WiFi (WPA supported) if available. Then simply configure via the embedded web browser configuration utility. From here it’s a snap. Simply select your online banking institution from the list of supported banks (currently over 1600 are supported). Supply your login information and then select your favorite HATED charity or non-profit from the included lists (over 6200 currently supported). Then plug in your donation amount per snooze incident ($10 or more), set the time, and alarm, and voila, instant time profit!

You always wonder when you’re writing code if the undocumented part of the API which produces a bizarre side effect is a carefully thought out feature, or a bug. Well, now thanks to this lovely photo by Dratz you know:

It was a feature all along.
