  • Some people said the dress was black and blue while others argued it was white and gold.   The court heard the couple had a “volatile” relationship and Johnston became enraged with his wife at their home during an argument.    He then tackled her to the ground and throttled her using both hands. […]   He threatend to “finish her off”, struggled with his wife again, brandished a knife, uttered a further threat that “somebody was going to die” and then attempted to self-harm, the court heard.   He pleaded guilty at the same court last month to assaulting his wife to her injury and endangering her life. […]   They went on to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the USA, where they were handed $10,000 and a luxury trip to Grenada.

    Man behind viral #TheDress photo jailed for attacking wife

    Damn. Sentenced to 4½ years.



  • I think it was primarily a verbal ordering, that later became commonplace written down in the US. If it was written down in that order elsewhere, it would have been with the full text, ie. “July 4th, 1776”. Never something like “07/04/1776”, which I believe was an American invention.






  • There was the unreleased Windows “Blackcomb”, basically prior to Redmond seeing Apple’s Aqua, which was like a bit Windows 2000, a bit ME, flatness, outlines, square corners, and it could’ve been metro.

    But resolutions and anti-aliasing were getting (slightly) better, so copy Apple, XP instead gets texture and rounds everything.

    Vista was another interesting take, especially weird was the window controls. We are still living with those weird long controls with a margin below, but not above them, a lot of the time, even in flat land Windows 11.
