  • R031E5, on 07/07/2008, -0/+21K for Kazaa? You're surfing in the wrong places.
  • franklymister, on 07/07/2008, -1/+21Here's the old-school version: http://boxinasuitcase.com/images/oldABCs.png
  • phrozen755, on 07/07/2008, -0/+19Who the hell still uses Kazaa?
  • kd420, on 07/07/2008, -1/+17Did anyone else sing along as they read them? No?

    /Goes back to kindergarten
  • BlockedUser, on 07/07/2008, -0/+16How long do you get for lunch where you work?
  • firstpost, on 07/06/2008, -0/+15Z = Zuma
  • crampy20, on 07/07/2008, -1/+15Glad myspace isnt in there.
  • SolidBones, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1131. PROFIT!
  • seanmx, on 07/07/2008, -1/+11I am such a nerd. When I saw the one for "Y", I tried to click play.
  • TSCheredar, on 07/06/2008, -2/+13No T for Twitter?
  • Waldbaums, on 07/07/2008, -1/+10Buried b/c S should of been Sun NOT second life.
  • fani, on 07/07/2008, -2/+11Thats it ? Make a silly ABCD poster based on tech and people go - wow, what a genius. Superb.
    I mean, thats it ?

    My 2 year old has an ABCD mat that lists the birds. so ? just because this lists tech, people are going "wow, what a super cool realization"


    Sheesh
  • ligyron, on 07/07/2008, -0/+9Of course "S" isn't for "Sex"
  • Tanktunker, on 07/07/2008, -2/+11Zeitgeistmovie?
    Seriously?
  • Jonh, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8Lame as *****.
  • crampy20, on 07/07/2008, -1/+9Stop whining - that picture is not a measure of anything
  • abyss20, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8HiT stands for Holon institute of technology, it's a college in Israel.
  • NCocca, on 07/07/2008, -2/+10Buried because no mention of Firefox on F or M (mozilla)
  • sysoprock, on 07/07/2008, -2/+7lol@napster
  • Tanktunker, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6HIT is the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel, it's graduates are the proud inventors of half of your computer, and alot of the stuff you attach to it.

    It's also pretty much the only technological university to boast a 100% employment rate for it's graduates.
  • burstaneurysm, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6When I saw the Windows logo in 'V', my first reaction was "Virus?"
  • abyss20, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4@omarst, next time try actually clicking the link of the article on digg.
  • vardhaman2249, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4apparently its for Torrentz
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4Each square should have linked to what it was trying to so artfully describe.

    Some of these I had never seen or heard of. Which begs to ask the question, should it really be a part of the "abc's" of technology? Maybe they should have picked some items that are a little bit more well known or integral to technology as we know it?
  • srujanlive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3B must = Bittorrent
  • xpftw, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4boom de yada boom de yada boom de yada boom de yada
  • niradg, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3I'm pretty sure MIT and IIT Kanpur graduates can find employment easily.
  • zimmermans, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4This is stupid...
  • CColtManM, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4Kazaa brought about an easier way to fill up your Winamp.
  • Tanktunker, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I don't doubt that, it's probably more related to the fact that the university only graduates it's top 60%, accepts very few people and the large high tech job market in Israel.
  • Buddhaismybuddy, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3N should be for Nintendo, napster is way old news.
  • PacoBell, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2VLC plugin? DivX plugin?
  • Shoebox639, on 07/07/2008, -4/+6how does trash like you get on the internet?
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Microprose!
    reminds me of X-COM... man i miss that game.
  • PacoBell, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Actually, it's most likely tag clouds. It's what all the hip Web 2.0 kids are doing.
  • barthrh, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Zuma? I hate you now. From "never heard of it" to addiction in seconds.
  • Tanktunker, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2You're an idiot :)
  • Tribis, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I buried your picture.
  • inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Z would be Zuma of Popcap's game library

  • CColtManM, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I think they mean Microsoft in general.
  • rubaaan, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1dang.

  • BlockedUser, on 07/07/2008, -4/+5Playstation for P, but no Xbox for X? :/
  • DigiDave, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1It's Digg dude. What were you expecting? An 2,500 word exegesis on the state of world economics?
  • madeingermany, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1no. according to W
