A quick trip through some recent articles from Ed. There are more in the right sidebar, and even more if you hit Browse at the end of any article.

Just when you thought Firefox couldn't get any better, along comes the Campus version of the browser.



Scary to think that 2 million people downloaded the Zwinky drag n drop toolbar on day one of its release. Why is that scary?

A couple of years ago, Synaptics touchpad specialists lost 60% of their stock value within a few knee-jerk days. As Cramer would say - They know nothing, buy, buy, buy.

It is a big day in Ed land so enjoy a blast from last September that you may not have seen before.

Just when slimmers thought it was safe to eat out at MacDonalds again...

“We did not expect these new salad entrées to be so loaded with fat and cholesterol,” says Brie Turner-McGrievy, M.S., R.D., the clinical research coordinator at PCRM.

Brie continues

Americans thinking about getting in shape and heading to the beach this summer should steer clear of the heavily hyped ‘salads’ that are smothered with chicken, cheese and other fatty foods.

It burgers belief that MacDonalds' style of salad can be fattier and more cholestrol laden than the famed Big Mac, but it says so here.

Is it not just more honest of the vendors from hell to say

"If you are fat, that's the way we like you, and our salads will keep you that way!"

Good luck to all concerned, especially the Chinese currently in MacDonalds' sights. Just like Mickie D's execs study stats, so the Chinese should record their waistlines now and again in 2017. Compare the growth. It should be stellar results for all concerned.

We already have a natty mobile version of the site, and now you can keep up even further with The Pisstakers, thanks to a mobile RSS feed. A really simple system from Feedm8 takes your RSS feed and formats it to fit a tiny, or not so tiny phone screen.

I know, sounds like just another way to drive up your phone bills, but at least, as you go bankrupt glued to your screen, you will have a smile on your face.

Meanwhile, if the bumf is to be believed, I will make millions from the ad revenue. So if you fall on hard times because of me, give me a call and I may be able to do a Ben Bernake and bale you out!

Give it a try. Thumbs up to Matt Jones and his slick Blogging Fingers for revealing this slick idea.

A quick trip through articles from Ed in the last 48 hours. There are more in the right sidebar, and even more if you hit Browse at the end of any article.

Ed's brain and typing skills are too slow for a Mac Pro - or any other computer with two 2.66GHz Intel processors inside.


In the World of contests widgets and funny quotes, I recognise the pioneers who have installed or blogged about the assorted Pisstakers widgets on offer.

Oh yay, oh yay, Sunday is another chance to visit MyBlogLog Sunday and see the light in mini review heaven.

Ed writes 10 marginally witty mini reviews of well known, unknown and little known blogs from the MyBlogLog network. Many online stars have been featured and get a free PR5 link.

All you have to do is be a MyBlogLog member, and if you visit here on Sunday morning and are caught in the side bar widget when I take a snapshot, you will be reviewed, like it or not! And if you leave a link to your best post of the week, regardless of being reviewed or not, I will Stumble the post too.

And if you are a good marketer, you might find time to link back to The Pisstakers in some simple way. Not many PR5 sites are as willing as us to link to and promote bloggers of all ages.

MyBlogLog Sunday 23 has arrived seven days after the last one. This is proof positive of a weekly event promoting 10 blogs that you may or may not be familiar with.

I see some old regulars have returned, bienvenidos, and I wish bonne chance to the newbies, especially those with the provocative names. I feel some satirical sparks coming on!

Today's featured bloggers can enjoy a double whammy if you play your cards right. You get a mini review by default, but if you leave a link in the comments to your best post of the week before 6pm Eastern time, I will also Stumble you.

Stumble Upon
Talking of Stumbling... Originally I was hoping that the MyBlogLog Sunday feature would do something for my Technorati ranking, but you know how hopes go. I am still languishing! According to the internet popularity game that seems to have evolved, I am considerably less popular than loads of blogs with a fraction of the traffic I attract, go figure.

I am a reasonable person, so, until I get my head around that bizarre state of affairs, I will only raise one finger to Technorati, instead of the preferred 2. That will, of course, change when I come up with a novel game the technorati rankings strategy that adds content not just link lists to the internet.

Meanwhile, would people be so kind as to join my Stumble network, currently populated by 2 friends. Maybe Stumble love may prove to be a more balanced indicator of the state of a site's health? We shall see

Permalink is permanent
All mini reviews from today will stay on the homepage (PR5) all week and are instantly added to the archives, so you can get a permanent back link to your mini review when it appears later.
