Today’s word is: Irony

Family Guy introduced new character Joyce Kinney the episode “Excellence in Broadcasting” as the replacement to Diane Simmons who was killed in the episode “And Then There Were Fewer.” The character Joyce Kinney is voiced by Christine Lakin.

So, where’s the irony? Get to the point!

Christine Lakin’s website is an irony in Web design.

Notice the nice iPhone design on Lakin’s website? It looks gorgeous.

So, I don’t see anything wrong with it. What’s your point?

Here it is:

Here’s another one:

The site is Flash-based! You can’t view the site on the iPhone while it has iPhone in the design.

Note to Christine:
Your site needs a new design.
If you need to complain to me in person, call Smart Entertainment (John Jacobs’ office) and show this to Mr. Turner. He can find me.
No, Seth McFarlane has nothing to do with this post or any writings on most Family Guy episodes. He got his own writing staff.

Dear NBC, Library of Congress called…….

Apparently someone with affiliations to NBC mistaken the definitions of “jailbreaking” with “unlocking” the iPhone.

According to NBC:

Jailbreaking is the hacker term for cracking software restrictions so the iPhone will work on other wireless carriers and allow any apps to be installed, not just those approved by Apple.

Jailbreaking does not automatically unlock the phone. In addition to that the article does not even use word “hacker” in correct context.

Haven’t I read this a while back?

Someone at NBC: “Hey, iPhone is now on Verizon.”
The other someone at NBC: “Let’s write something about iPhone with a shocking headline.”

Does NBC do some research before the “break” the news?

By the way NBC, Library of Congress called…….
It must be slow news day for you.
