Skype has just gone 1.0
For all those not in the know, its a killer app. that allows you to talk just like on the phone [broadband, mic and headphones/speakers required] to your mates or family who also have d/l'd the app.

New Links Fantasy Football League?

It was announced a few weeks ago that 4 parts of the Beeb's internet arm were being closed. One of these was the Fantasy Football site which was a bit disappointing as I was looking forward to the start of a new season.

It turns out that it will be closing at the end of the coming season which means we have a free, decent, online, automatically scored, Fantasy Football game at our disposal. With prizes.

So should we set up a league for the New Links regulars? Leave comments below if you want in - if I get enough positive responses I'll make sure we have a league up and running for the start of the competition on August 28th.

Here's the all new Return Of The Jedi ending for the DVD release - with Anakin inserted into the final screen to tie up the loose ends created by plot inconsistencies caused by the release of the early Star Wars episodes.

I was under the impression the whole story was written before the filming of eps 4-6 were filmed - so if that's the case why weren't plot inconsistencies ironed out at that stage? Or is it just that George Lucas is an indecisve prick?

A large collection of almost 3,000 film title screens can be found here. Well worth a browse.

Killer Whale Flips Out

This link is to a video of a Seaworld trainer in the pool with a killer whale. He then tries to get out after it gets a bit boisterous and the killer whale decides that's just not going to happen as he hasn't finished playing yet.

Manhunt gets more free publicity

Manhunt is on at least two front pages today and it is guilty of murder. Apparently. As if it wasn't not bad enough that it got itself banned from New Zealand it's now gone and committed a murder in this country. Well according to the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror anyway.

Yes it that's old chestnut again - video games make you kill people. Daft fsckers.

Mind you its such an important issue to the Mirror that they almost made it the same size as their Fantasy Football ad. And the Daily Mail's other main story today? They have 2(!) pages dedicated to animals on the Underground. So that makes New Links like the Daily Mail but 5 months faster and without the racialism. Yay!

Simpsons to reveal gay character

The Simpsons is going to have a character come out of the closet when Springfield legalises gay marriage and Homer becomes a minister.

So who is the gay Simpsons character?

"Speculation is already running rife across fan websites about who will be the mystery gay character, ranging from Mr Burns' devoted sidekick Waylon Smithers to one or both of Homer's sisters-in-law."

All I can say if it's Smithers it's not much of a bloody mystery - even my 10 year old daughter knows Smithers is gay.

My money's on Neddy boy but only because of his big gay moustache. But if it is going to be a mystery it's going to have to be harder than that. So I'm going to go for Mr Burns who will disappear into the sunset with Waylon.

As it is, you've suddenly become a multi-million-dollar institution, spawning clones in hundreds of countries, presumably all winking in that terrifying "I look cuddly now, but I can hurt you. Oh yes, I can hurt you bad" way.

Now we can talk about the redesign. Oooh it's lovely. That should cover it.

Preparing for Emergencies

I haven't got my copy of the Government's new guide for coping with a terrorist attack yet so I'm glad it's online. I wouldn't have known how to cope with getting infected with something deadly. Now I do. The official advice is to find Cannon and Ball with the aim of infecting them. Sterling plan.

This is an excellent parody of the official site. Too excellent it seems - some governmental busybody has written to complain that it may confuse people. Pah spoilsports. But Thomas Scott says he isn't taking it down. Yay! He'd just better watch out for eager to make amends and show they're not very crap after all secret service types with brollies full of poison.

Free Music

GarageBand.com is a site that allows members of unsigned bands to upload demo tracks and have them voted on by you. According to the blurb 14 bands have signed major deals since the site started although I can't find any details other than the claim.

There is a huge amount of material here and some of it has to be good if only by the law of averages. The music is broken up by genre so there is punk, rock, r'n'b (rhythm and bass rather than proper r'n'b but they do have a blues section), pop, dance etc etc.

Band To Band Links

This is quite cool. It's like a Kevin Bacon thingummyjig but for bands rather than people. Put in the name of 2 bands (700+ in database so far) and this page will attempt to link them via band members that have appeared in other bands. So for instance did you know the Small Faces are only 19 degrees of separation away from Blink 182?

Can you pick Michael Jackson's nose?

The quiz is actually called 'Do you know Michael's Nose?' but New Links is in favour of bogey related punnage hence the title.

You get 15 pictures of noses and you have to guess whether it's Wacko's or not. I got 10 out 15.

Technorati Redesign

Technorati has come out of beta and has a new look to boot. Lots of other blogs are talking about the Technorati redesign. There are a lot of sites out there taking about how nice it looks - have they actually used it or just loaded the page? It seems to be badly broken.

Searches haven't worked since yesterday and the link to profiles just stopped working. I needed to go and get some new code. Not a huge problem but it would be nice if they could have let users know that the links they have back to Technorati are useless. Oh and New Links was no longer registered as belonging to anyone - I had to reclaim it. And now I can't log in at all. At least when Blogger rolled out their redeisgn it came with loads of new features and took a while to settle down. Technorati seems to have introduced no new features just a new skin so what's their excuse?

Still not to worry - it looks nice.

A Case of the Crabs

No b3ta newsletter this week to plunder from as they seem to think just because it's summer they are allowed time off! Pah. Lazy slackers. :)

Anyhoo they've put up a couple of links in lieu of a newsletter and one of them is "A Case of the Crabs" which is a pointy-clicky adventure like Monkey Island. This is a black and white 'film noir' detective story and looks pretty good. It also features Dogs playing Mahjong so it has something for everyone. Well everyone except Dogs himself as it seems a bit light on pr0n.

Oh did I mention it was made by otters? Clever little fsckers.

BugMeNot says "bring it on"

BugMeNot now requires users to register. Don't worry though as this only applies to web weasels

"If you are an employee, partner, affiliate or legal representative of any site which enforces compulsory user registration then we require you to complete our registration process. It costs nothing to register and will only take a moment."

The form required is pretty big (although I have seen actual registration forms even bigger than that) and the questions are fairly silly. Revenge is sweet! ;)

BugMeNot are also asking non registration sites to add the following to their TOS:

Any subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, or employees of any site employing compulsory user registration mechanisms are not authorized to access the content or services of this site.

which would effectively make it illegal for say NY Times reporters to use the web if everybody did it. New Links may well have a one paragraph TOS in place tonight!

Patrick Kluivert - your thoughts

NUFC.com asked readers to email in their views on Newcastle United signing Patrick Kluivert. The link is to the first selection they've published.

For what it's worth I've wanted Kluivert to come to the toon for a few years now and it always seemed on the cards. But more recently it was Beattie who seemed to be our target and I had gradually warmed to and eventually liked that idea. I'm definitely not complaining though as Kluivert is world class - and we'll buy Beattie next summer when we are preparing for the Champion's League. ;)

I know Kluivert hasn't been as good recently as he has been in the past but I'm sure him and Shearer are going to be absolute magic together. Just as well Dogs isn't around as we'd now have a slanging match. Yay!

Was the moonlanding faked?

I don't know but one of the most common proofs given is that stars can't be seen in any of the photographs from the Apollo missions. The just weren't looking properly! Someone has taken some of the Apollo 11 pics and processed them through photoshop (tm blah blah!) and has found stars are visible in the sky.

So was it faked? This guy thinks not but a really convincing argument that it was faked can be found here. Just don't let this bloke hear you saying it!

Francis Grose's Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue, 1811

Always aiming to provide a public service New Links pushes the earliest boundary of the history of swearing in the UK from 1900 to 1811 with the discovery of Francis Grose's Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue. Direct link to a plain text version here.

Includes such gems as

MADGE. The private parts of a woman.
WHORE PIPE. The penis.
BUSHEL BUBBY. A full breasted woman.

The history of swearing in the UK

1936

Music hall comedian Hector Thaxter becomes the first man to say "Arse" on the radio.

it doesn't go earlier than 1900.

What a rip!

Newcastle has been chosen to host a World Cup qualifier between England and Azerbaijan in March 2005.This good news has been tempered by the fact that the cockney scum over at Old Trafford will get to host the other 4 games!! When exactly did Manchester become the centre of England?
The reason given for the two grounds that have been chosen is the fact that they are the biggest in the country.It's all down to FA greed, the games could be shared with other cities such as Birmingham or Liverpool.The only problem is the FA will not get as much gate money.So what's a few quid compared to keeping a fresh atmosphere which you would get if the games were spread around and giving more people their last chance to see England in a quality game outside stinking London.It's only fair the games should be held outside London because when the new Wembley stadium is built the rest of England will never see another international game, but that's another argument.

The first rock and roll record, "That's all right", which is again a hit in the UK is about to leave copyright in the EU in January 2005. This also means that within the next 10-15 years we'll have copyright-free Who, Stones, Beatles tracks etc etc. Can anyone say mashup in a sixties stylee?

I'm off to do a Jive Bunny compilation.

One for dogs

Well it's more of a warning to his potential mating partners really. A town in Kenya has reportedly killed 500 pigs for mating with dogs! And if that doesn't cement his place as New Links dortiest 'member' I don't know what will.

Freaky Reptiles

We've had a link for fairly freaky animals and it got a few hits so in the New Links tradition of giving our readers what they want here are some freaky reptiles although a six legged cow has managed to sneak onto the page too. Yay for determined, extra legged cows!

Vote BNP

The latest edition of the b3ta newsletter is out and the recurring theme of redirects continues. I wonder where http://www.vote-bnp.tk/ points to? Previous redirects here and here.

Don't forget to check the newsletter for loads of other stuff including pictorial evidence that even Nazi SS Stormtroopers aren't kitten proof. Although they were probably laughing because they were tying it to a grenade. Twunts.

The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art

A while ago we linked to a collection of fictional and actual scenes recreated in isometric videogame style. Now you can have a go at recreating one yourself with the help of The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art.

It has sections on shapes, colour, doing grass, drawing people and tons more. I'm off to recreate Liam O'Brien's goal against the mackems.

Fox News Memos: The Whole Batch

Continued from here.

...but Wonkette have. Yay. Not that anyone needs convincing of the untrustworthiness of Fox News but this stuff makes for very interesting reading.

OUTFOXED: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism

Somebody has made a documentary on how Fox News twists the news. They have obtained 33 internal Fox memos that prove this. Unfortunately they haven't put them on the site...

WWW VIP TBL (OBE) Now Sir TBL (OBE)

Tim Berners-Lee has received a knighthood to go with his long overdue wedge. Sir Tim (OBE) deserves everything he gets as he is the man who invented the interweb. Well him and Al Gore anyway!

"Dishonest Dubya" Lying Action Figure Doll

The ChimpMeister now has his own action figure. It features 4 different outfits, 14 quotes and a remote control that enables lying, stupidity, costume changes and pretzel choking.

One for bhell13

A Welsh View is a similar blog to this one with links to all sorts of stuff. Recent highlights include a horrendous story of penis surgery and a Welsh quiz which is bloody hard.

If nothing else it may ease his hiraeth when he is away from home. Or something.

Accessible Odeon? Not any more.

I have just been on the Odeon site to check ticket availabilty for Fahrenheit 911. The site doesn't work at all in Firefox - you can't even view film times never mind book tickets.

So I dived across to the Accessible Od*on site which provides a cleaner front end (including the ability to book tickets) to the official Odeon site. Well it used to until Odeon's lawyers forced them to take it down. No doubt you'll read about in on NTK this afternoon as it was this site that inspired NTK's challenge to redesign bad websites.

So I have to use IE to book a ticket at the Odeon site? I don't think so. Lost sale ching ching.

All about Blogger's post editor

Blogger's Post Editor has been jazzed up (although it doesn't seem to have been extended to the BlogThis window which I'm using now) and has lots of new features.

When I first read about it I couldn't see all the new stuff and, as bhell13 commented, the link and preview bits had disappeared. I tried it in IE in case it was a Firefox problem and the new stuff showed up fine. So I tried again in Firefox, hit refresh a few times and it now appears.

Star Wars origami

I seem to remember NewLinks having a thing about origami a while back. This one should top all previous posts. Star Wars origami
No instructions on how-to, just pictures, which should be OK as i don't think anybody ever attempts these things.Do they?

2DC Highway Code

OtterBox

I was over the moon when I saw this. I thought I would be able to keep my Giant Peruvian Otter in an OtterBox to stop it crapping all over the bathroom floor.

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered they were "protective watertight cases and ruggedized PDA Cases" including the oPod which is a waterproof iPod case . Pah.

Mozilla Vulnerability Timeline

From the discovery of the shell: exploit to the point where all of the affected products were available with fixes took only 31 hours! There are holes in Internet Explorer that are months old. Bear in mind Microsoft is the world's largest, richest software company and they can't turnaround fixes anywhere near that quick.
