  • revollusion, on 08/13/2008, -2/+32What version of "The Matrix" are we in? Proof like this just keeps showing up....
  • Mjuboy, on 08/13/2008, -2/+31Most of the images on Digg are older than the internet.
  • blazes816, on 08/13/2008, -0/+27I'd be so psyched if my site was pulling 100% of computer owners.

  • quomen, on 08/13/2008, -3/+29New Evidence Proves Digg's Content Sucks:
    Screen shot of an iPhone with an incorrect internal clock gets bumped to the front page.

    I wouldn't be surprised if an image of a cat with its hair dyed purple makes it too.
  • KGB420, on 08/13/2008, -7/+31This is stupid. No one cares.

  • lcarsdeveloper, on 08/13/2008, -2/+19Can't believe it took 14 hours for someone on Digg to point that out, just like when you visit a site and it says "January 1st 1970", it's dead obvious to anyone who has worked with Unix or PHP
  • nickbarber, on 08/13/2008, -1/+18Or a smart bastard.
  • digifuzz, on 08/13/2008, -0/+16http://mvh.sr.unh.edu/challenges/images/purple_cat ...

  • zhaojon, on 08/13/2008, -1/+15Honestly, I would digg a purple cat. Make it say something humorous with incorrect spelling and/or grammar. Sounds like a win.

  • ironeus, on 08/12/2008, -12/+22some may argue that a some form of the internet was present as early as the 50s so it's not quite as old :-|
