LOL....that was awesome. - MuddyPitch, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18"A memory leak found in the Firefox 1.5.0.7 release causes your computer to reproduce like a mogwai when the browser window is minimized. In a matter of hours self-thinking, self-aware gremlin machines take over most major cities."
- CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16"Inspired by the positive press surrounding Gates’ new focus on curing disease, improving education and spreading human rights, President Bush will announce that he, too, is stepping down to focus on these pressing issues. "
If only.. - xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11> Bowing to growing complaints about the cost of gas, six major gas companies will finally lower prices—by changing the unit of measurement. Where you once paid $74.23 USD to fill your tank, you will now pay only .01 PS3, or 1/89th the cost of a PlayStation 3.
LMAO. - ketsugi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9No, this is a new set of predictions. Read the article.
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9> Taking a page from Google’s playbook, Yahoo will announce that its engineers need spend only 80% of their time on core company projects. The remaining 20% will be spent helping Iran enrich Uranium. After outrage erupts, Yahoo will issue a terse statement that “This policy is rigorously consistent with our moral code. Just last month, we bent over for both the U.S. and China.”
LOL.
The AoHELL one was hilarious too! - pwallroth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Yeah my mistake. Should have read it!
- tsuroki, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Yes, but "Firefox guy" is more of an attention-grabber than "Blake Ross". You're givin' us oblivious folks too much credit.
- G33k0ft3chz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8"The rebranding will be welcome news for a Microsoft weary of the “podcast” meme and its iPod connotations, because everyone is already calling the company’s new iPod-killer “Ass”."
LOL! Dugg, and Bookmarked. - Celeron, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8The last one was great. What an irony. ;)
- Cummings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6So this means that I have 5 PS3 in my bank account... or was that .5 PS3. We should really adopt this as a new monetary Standard. So much simpler.. ;)
Good Read - StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6So between Nintendo's name of their new console, and Sony's price of the new console... which was the worse business decision?
- CypherXero, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"Firefox guy"?
He has a name...it's Blake Ross. - Hatefull, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6digg for being kinda-humorous, in a newspaper comic/snl sort of way, but not hilarious.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8ahuh, and i bet you think everyone else is the problem...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8you have the nick st3ph4n and are claiming not to be part of that culture? i guess you just accused yourself of being ugly;, annoying and of having no sense of hurmor.
i bet everyone was glad when you quit. - ffingers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5it's fantastic when the PS3 pricing becomes the butt of random jokes....
have to admit though....sort of shocked not seeing any Wii jokes... - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'll digg it up, purely for the phrase "at which people like to poke fun."
- moeq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"Inspired by the positive press surrounding Gates’ new focus on curing disease, improving education and spreading human rights, President Bush will announce that he, too, is stepping down to focus on these pressing issues."
If only. More likely, Bush would decry that since Bill is taking care of the world's humanitarian services, all funding that previously went to funding health and human services in the US now goes to funding death and inhumane torture in Iraq.
No, wait... he did that already. - FBMGriever, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Hahaha! Some of those were pretty damn funny. I loved the AOL joke :D
- johnmarty49, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Because I posted it in the wrong category before. It's not "Tech Industry News" (it might not be "Software" either, but that's the closest category).
- CrookedAsterisk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Looks like this has been submitted before.

By YOU. Seriously, why re-submit the EXACT same article? Reported has duplicate. Let the original story with 3 diggs have all the glory. - moeq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The irony is that
"“Asscasting”, short for “Broadcasting while sitting on my ass, which will never leave this chair.”"
describes perfectly what this Blogger's Blog (AKA "Asscast") is.
Someone get this man to John Stewart! - cbenard, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8@cannibal
Yes, I've also heard that people who are attracted to members of the same sex often do not find idiotic linux/open source zealots' musings humorous. If only we could all exhibit the heterosexual, stupid "hur hur make fun of M$ teh loonix ftw" loving tendencies like you have so clearly embraced (and extended, M$ hur hur).
Kudos to you, sir. - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i use windows and have used ie a number of times but lol ass
- brownboi43, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"AOL will sink back to its original 53,651 subscribers, then implode."
Hasn't this already happened? - OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I doubt Bush will ever step down voluntarily. Something about him tells me he's not very interested in obeying the law. I doubt we'll even have a fair election THIS year. Diebold is already gearing up their self-voting electronic voting machines.
- CarzorStelatis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1On the subject of the PS3 - if Sony continue at the same rate then the PS4 will cost over US$1200
- tackle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1not even close to being funny. Why the hell would someone mod this up?
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is yet to be decided.
- OptimismPrime, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Leave us simple folk be,
having-to-drag-real-names-into-everything guy! - streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Old. But well worth a repeat, as young Mr. Ross has such an unexpectedly good satiric wit, this post of his was the reason I have his RSS on my start page.
- thepharmacist, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Yep, and the guy updated them.
RTFA - cbenard, on 10/12/2007, -14/+8HAR HAR, he pointed out common memes at which people like to poke fun, like Microsoft, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and AOL. He's freaking hi-LAR-ious.
I like and use Firefox, but if that doesn't make you hate linux people, nothing will. (No one will get to read this because it will be dugg down by linux zealots). - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5Blake Ross pisses me off. I have no idea who he is but he sounds like a jackass.
Excuse me.. - strangerzero, on 10/12/2007, -13/+5Not funny.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3You're a *****. It was funny.
- st3ph4n, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1*****, they probably were glad. I was the only one that gave them all death looks when they made the same predictable jokes every god damned day.
- st3ph4n, on 10/12/2007, -14/+3LOL AOL HAS NO USERS LMAO GOOD 1
LOL GET IT MICROSOFT !! EVERY1 HATES THEM.
seriously, this stupid-ass culture made me quit my job. for the most part the people in the IT field are ugly, annoying, and have no real sense of humor - pwallroth, on 10/12/2007, -20/+8I hate being the one to say this buy I submitted this story 181 days ago http://digg.com/tech_news/Creator_of_Firefox_s_hilarious_2006_predictions and it got over a thousand diggs. Doesn't make it any less funny.
- st3ph4n, on 10/12/2007, -19/+3wow, that wasn't funny at all. you are all gigantic nerds for laughing at that
