The Microsoft Javascript Debugger Console is great for pinning down errors in Internet Explorer. Often times IE doesn't give very helpful messages when a Javascript error occurs. With this, it will pop open a window and highlight the code in question.]]>

A group calling themselves "Goatse Security" (LOL, Neal, you'll like that one) recently obtained 114,000+ email addresses and ICC-IDs (somehow related to the SIM card's ID #, if I understand correctly). These belong to the early adopters who bought an iPad 3G model, including military people, congressmen, prominent mayors, etc.]]>

I was looking for a PHP HTML parser and ran across this. An added benefit is it is capable of grabbing external web pages, and parsing them for specific elements using jQuery-like selectors. While the syntax could be improved I'm quite impressed with the functionality of the script. This can be used on external sites or your own.]]>

<description>
<![CDATA[
Having just purchased an original Xbox I was curious as to what year the last game was made for the console. This Wikipedia page lists all 950 games released for the original Xbox. You can also sort by release date. I ended up finding out that the last game was released in 2008 (pretty recent considering the 360 came out in 2005-2006).
I'll probably end up buying Half Life 2 and Call of Duty 3 since those are both fairly new games that I think I'd enjoy. Currently I'm playing Doom 3 and XIII (one of my favorite games of all time)]]>
