7 things I did not know last week

A week on a calendar
  1. Shots, props and costumes from Battlestar Galactica were reused in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.
  2. Google Chrome's concept of 'one process per tab' is nothing new: IE7 on Vista already prohibits mixing security zones in the same process, and IE8 creates one process per tab.
  3. The North American video games market crashed in 1983 due to market saturation with low-quality games.
  4. Increasing thread count over 300 adds very little comfort. Via Kottke.
  5. The iPhone GUI does not let you turn off voicemail. You can either call your provider to disable it, or use the standard GSM codes.
  6. All four members of Kings of Leon share the same family name (Followill), as they are three brothers (whose father and grandfather are called Leon) and a cousin.
  7. Jools Holland was a member of Squeeze (1979 hit 'Cool For Cats', skip to 2:39 to see Mr Holland) from 1974 to 1980.

    Jools Holand rocked in the 80's with squeeze I think Argy Bargy is one of the great rock albums it had great commerical sucess in the States. I say them at a club called Malibu located in Long island N.Y.
    I know he has a music show, but he could rock.
