confusionI think we should take the titans of industry who’s companies have failed in the recent bowel movement of ‘unfettered capitalism’ and send them to places where 100% of people live on less than $1.00 a day. Leave them there with a camera crew to follow them around and give them $1.00 every day. I’m thinking bankers used to million dollar bonuses would make for good TV in this situation.
Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp.

Welbog’s bio [stackoverflow.com] on StackOverflow [stackoverflow.com]
- Holy shit all of those photons are moving in the same direction. It’s like a motherfucking army of photons marching toward your retina goddamn!
- This shit is used to read data off of reflective discs. WHAT THE FUCK how can lasers read shit off of thin shiny pieces of plastic I mean holy fucking crap it’s gotta have a tiny wizard in there or some shit.
- Are you gonna want to use a faggy flashlight or a stupid lighter? Fuck no, you want a laser shit yes!
- I hear they figured out how far away the moon is using lasers or some shit. That doesn’t make any fucking sense!

- Dear motherfucking shit they move at the speed of light and nothing is faster than the speed of light because Einstein said so goddamn

A little more digging and most of the views originated from Stylem [stylem.com] who sell an iPhone application called “backgrounds” (get it here in iTunes [itunes.apple.com].) The application (which I have on my iPhone) allows one to browse and download various images other have submitted to the iPhone to use as wallpapers. Apparently there are people who like my photo of the Iwo Jima Pirates graffiti in DC.
However, the photo is not very well optimized for the iPhone display. So I took a few minutes and made a version that (I think) is better optimized for the iPhone screen. Here it is:
