Shit Silicon Valley Says

If you have, let us say, a theory about man, and if you can only prove it by talking about Plato and George Washington, your theory may be quite a frivolous thing. But if you can prove it by talking about the butler or the postman, then it is serious, because it is universal. So far from it being irreverent to use silly metaphors on serious questions, it is one’s duty to use silly metaphors on serious questions. It is the test of one’s seriousness. It is the test of a responsible religion or theory whether it can take examples of pots and pans and boots and butter-tubs. It is a test of a good philosophy whether you can defend it grotesquely. It is the test of a good religion whether you can joke about it.

Water and aspirin? Psh, those are for lightweights. The newest weapon in the war against hangovers is a vitamin patch.

One company, Bytox Inc., has created a hangover patch that slowly releases a complex of B vitamins over eight hours — from the hour before you start drinking to the morning after. The idea, said Dr. Leonard Grossman, is that nutrients are immediately delivered into the bloodstream and stay there instead of being depleted.

One of the biggest goals of the release was simply reduced file size and improved performance. Here’s a quick chart comparing default download size for the previous release of jQTouch (beta 3), the current version of jQuery Mobile, and the upcoming jQTouch beta 4.
