This somehow leads to to several conclusions:

1. Passing allong mangiven responisbility to a machine is now officially cool

2. You have to be drunk to use Googlemail or (insert random Data Sucking/Mining Google Service here)

3. Is Google just testing technology on shutting up those free speech advocates in countries like China?

4. Will Apple release an iDrunk (iDrug) software that will capture your transcending deficit of sanity on the weekend to share with your friends?

5. Will Google be able to stop the increasing stupidity of mankind?

Managing Bookmarks on multiple machines

Pimp my Shell

Want some color in your shell logins?

There is a package for Ubuntu and Debian (and i suppose for the other Distros) which will automatically generate a color system logo for your shell.

You can install the package using:

apt-get install linuxlogo

Next, write the logo to your motd or issue file using the command

/usr/bin/linux_logo > /etc/motd

Voila
