I have to say that last night’s Saturday Night Live with Chris Hemsworth was pretty awful. Only a couple of sketches were worth even mentioning – one of them involved a starship with a chicken as its…

iPhones, like computers, need to be rebooted on occasion. Maybe iMessage is acting up, for example. If your Home and Power button don’t work, though, you can still reboot your Phone by changing certain settings.

OS X Daily explains that changing certain settings will cause the phone to automatically reboot. For example:

• Changing the Accessibility options to Bold text
• Resetting Network Settings (note you’ll lose saved passwords)

The Accessibility option is obviously ideal, since it won’t erase your saved passwords—but it’s good to have both options.

By routinely reading Photo-News and blogs from around the world, I came across homemade photo booths again and again. I saved images and ideas for my own project to be executed “somewhere in the future”. Future was supposed to be 2012, when I moved to Hamburg and a housewarming party was planned.

Building A Vintage Photo Booth WiFi

A few months ago, a pair of French hackers teased a new project called Windows 93. It was a wonderfully weird web-based operating system, some sort of spoof on Windows 95, packed to the gills with insidery internet jokes. And late last night, the digital artists released the full version. It’s still wonderfully weird, thank God.

The technicolored dream beam that is Windows 93 comes from the wild minds of Jankenpopp and Zombectro. It looks a lot like a more primitive and meme-filled edition of Windows 95—except instead of Solitaire and Internet Explorer, you’ve got Solitude and Cat Explorer.

There’s also a highly improved version of MS Paint called Piskel and a hallucinatory program called Acid Box 93 and a snarky version of Wolfenstein 3D called Castle GAFA 3D. That’s just to name a few.

Could Windows 93 become your full-time operating system? That depends: Do you like drugs? If yes, you might enjoy spending your day navigating the 90s-talgic world of pixelated art. If no, you’ll still enjoy the full-length version of Star Wars, rendered in ASCII. And drugs or no drugs, if you figure out what Virtual Girl does, please let us know in the comments.

Love it or hate it, social media is here to stay. It might morph into something else, but it has marked our lives forever. Muggles (or maybe not; we can’t just say we’re not muggles after all) that we are, social media might just be some sort of power that tends to get to the […]
