<a href="http://www.zefrank.com/smallworld/">Zefrank's hiliarious take on Friendster and other social networking services</a>.  Quicktime required.  If you don't know Zefrank, a few years ago he came out with the <a href="http://www.zefrank.com/predate/">Pre-Date Confidence Builder</a>.  This guy should be doing stand-up somewhere.  Hat tip to Peter Hirshberg.</p>]]></description>

<p>Matrix lovers check out <a href="http://www.themeatrix.com" target="blank">"The Meatrix"</a>, a parody that pokes fun at the movie while illustrating issues on ethical treatment of animals.  Moophius gives Leo the red pill and the real world is revealed.</p>]]></description>

<title>If Cars Ran Like Software</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I don't know if this is true or not, but it makes for a funny story...</p>

<p>At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."</p>

<p>In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the  following characteristics:</p>

<p>1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.</p>

<p>2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.</p>

<p>3. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.</p>

<p>4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.<br />
