Wine-Doors - A must have for wine users.

Wine-Doors is a great free alternative to applications such as Cedega or Crossover. It makes it really easy to install and config windows native programs by doing all of the dirty work that would usually take hours.
The interface is similar to Ubuntu's Add/Remove Applications program, and it does everything for you. All you need to do is just click next a few times and accept the occasional license agreement. :P

The only downside about wine doors is the amount of supported apps. Since their not some big dev team there progress is slow. But you can't beat free.

Twitter... another terrible idea made possible by web 2.0

I don't care much for web 2.0. The only things I use that are web 2.0 oriented are stumbleupon, delicious and blogger. The only reason I use blogger is because It's easier and a lot more quicker to setup than a CMS and right now I don't have the time to manage a real website.

Then there is twitter. Twitter is the reason why the majority of internet users say TLDR. (Too Long Didn't Read) In lamens terms Twitter allows you to send and recive updates that consist of 140 chracters to and from friends and aquaintances. You can send these update from anywhere, thus granting people the ability to tell the internet that thier having trouble "unloading the poopdeck." It's main audience is web 2.0 aficiandos, lazy people, and people with nothing better to do.

So if you're wondering why so many fucktards comment on lengthy reads on the net with responses like "omg this sux TLDR!!1!" Twitter is to blame.
