Mondo 2000 ain't shit.
http://www.zombo.com/ is where it's at.

http://learn-to-use-a-fucking-url-tag.com

There's one that's still going strong...

http://www.zombo.com/

You can do anything at Zombo.com. Anything at all!

Maybe they're trying to be the next Zombocom.

Like the HTML5 video tag, that was supposed to free us from evil Flash, but just brought forth the unblockable autoplaying autoloading multimegabyte video ad

Just like there are built-in options and extensions for browsers that give you the possibility to selectively allow Flash, there are similar tools for HTML5. With open source browsers the only limit is your imagination.

I was going say that why would I need iTunes Radio when I have Zombo com But sadly it is not online at the moment.

Welcome ... to ZomboCom. This ... is ... ZomboCom. Welcome. This is ZomboCom; welcome ... to ZomboCom. You can do anything at ZomboCom. Anything at all. The only limit is yourself.

WELcome... to Zombo Com!

You can do Anything at Zombo Com,

The only limit...is yourself.

Sadly, at the moment, the only limit is the zombo.com bandwidth limits.

When I come across something that is the best web page ever, at least I bookmark it! http://www.zombo.com/

Ones that always are up to date and maintain the same functionality, like http://zombo.com/

So you can do anything you want with Wolfram language? The only limit is your imagination?

Will the first project be the long-awaited 1.0 version of Zombo.com?

I have no idea what people are bitching about... I just signed up for Obamacare through http://zombo.com/ .

Remember: all things are possible, with http://zombo.com/ !

sorry for the messed up link

Welcome to Zombocom! www.zombo.com

Many of the DDOS nodes don't know they're being hijacked for a DDOS. Name and shame an innocent person?

They are NOT innocent. They let their computers be used in stealing, censorship, blackmailing, spam and other evil stuff. It doesn't matter if it is stupidity, ignorance or malicious intent.

If your car keeps hitting other cars you should hand over your license.

Say I send a bunch of packets all over the Internet. They look like TCP requests created by YOU! Ah, so thousands of legitimate servers reply to the spoofed requests and flood your connection with traffic trying to complete the TCP handshake with you. You collect a list of IP addresses, and report all the IPs. Your report will include everyone from Apple.com to Zombo.com.

Meanwhile, MY IP address is not included in your list at all. Even if I used a network of infected machines to perform this RDDoS none of the IPs of malicious machines will be in your list. So, care to explain why Servers should stop serving legitimate TCP requests? Care to explain why Google.com is evil for repeatedly replying to spoofed packets?

I re-assert the GP's assertion: Many of the DDoS nodes don't know they're being used in the DDoS. Name and shame all the innocent people and corporations? Ever hear of Slander? Of course not, you're an armchair expert.

Speaking of the "lost web", we no longer see as many offbeat websites

I dunno, we haven't lost Zombo.Com, there's even a HTML5 Zombo.com

Goatsects is still around in various forms. What's primarily happened is that hosting your persona stuff has been subsidized by advertising and data aggregation instead of being a bit more private (if you use a proxy registrar contact) and hosting your own servers. That's still possible, but there's less demand for it now.

I think it's a shame really, because we do need our own publicly/privately accessible servers to stream "our" stuff (music, video, pics, ramblings, etc) to us. With the rise of consumption centric devices I think we might see a rise in both online hosting services for more of your stuff at the cost of more privacy (social graph sites), and home-server and paid hosting solutions for the more privacy conscious. It's kind of silly that Facebook, G+, etc. don't have an API for adding a remote friend -- Where the social site would scrape my private server that implements a public API (RSS anyone?) so that users of their services can get updates from folks outside the service. You can sort of cobble together something with G+ & Google Reader, but it's not nearly as integrated with the social stuff, and RSS has no "bueno" button.

"The web we lost" Bah, Humbug. What about the Internet we lost? Everything's caught up in the "web", which would be fine if it wasn't an overly complicated inefficient document rendering markup and stateless protocol, that people try to cobble into stateful online applications with a horribly inefficient scripting langauge... It's so bad that we're still waiting for HTML5 to be formalized, it's been over 12 years since HTML4.01 -- About half the age of the damn web. If we were serious about this thing, We'd be making a lower level glyph & vector graphics display system with a more efficient general purpose VM language (for great sandboxing justice) as the primary target. Every damn site is an application now, which means a kludge ridden mess. Simple Primitives, then work your way up, HTML + CSS + Active Code could compile down to lower level primitives such that we could innovate in the higher level stuff, or even scrap it while remaining compatible with old sites. Take a page from the CPU architectures. How many coding languages are there? They don't require a new platform each time. Starting off at the markup level and building such a platform there is kind of silly if you ask me. Java tried to save us, but they became too bloated and interested in Enterprise instead of a lean mean client side system -- Sun dropped the ball w/ Applets instead of splitting them out like they did J2ME stuff. Here we are, same damn web, hacking together features we want that it was never designed to support, then crying like babby who can't frigth back when it's more full of exploits than an AOL Punt tool.

You can create any social network you can imagine... with Zombocom.

What about zombo?

http://www.zombo.com/

you mean they're the latest ZOMBO.COM?

Yep,

When ordinary mortals were visiting Zombo.com, the mentally altered geniuses visited Obmoz.com.

http://zombo.com/
http://obmoz.com/

Bing is on Facebook's acquisition list though. Bing is just below Zombo.com.

"Other than flash" well that deals out something like 90% of web apps. My Android phone doesn't do Silverlight-light, like her phone does, which cuts me out of just about nuthin. Her Windows phone can't even do Zombo.com. And everything is possible at Zombo.com. (Sorry iFans, you don't get zombocom.)

Apparently in iOS and Android a weather widget or flight planner is one app no matter where you might be, but Microsoft is spiffing per app to get their app count up so in Windows phone each of those is thousands of apps depending on where you might be and they have to rate-limit app submissions to hundreds per day per developer.

There are darned few Android apps that can't be had on iOS. Due to the relative market share however, 95% of Android apps can't be had on Windows phone, and the percentage is higher on iOS. But not even 5% of Android apps can be had on Windows Phone, and a lot of those are damned good. iOS has two apps that are awesome that Android can't have: GarageBand and iMovie. That's it.

My wife's a bright girl. 130+ IQ, classically educated with a 4 year degree in programming (best marks), and considerable self-study beyond that. She can discuss at length the moral implications of exobiology, argue both for and against life-extension without emotion, consider the implications of FTL muons with the best of us, and still get the kids to school in relativistic time. If it weren't so I'd find her impossibly boring. She's working on Android apps now as an author. Yes, she knows how to work her phone and find the few apps it does have. She bought it to spite me, and has realized her mistake. It doesn't have the apps my Android phone has, and it's not gonna. She's stubborn, not stupid.

Thanks for playing. If you got paid for that, they didn't get their money's worth.

Come on, at least give a link: http://www.zombo.com/

zombo.com?

OMG, Twitter is just SOOOO amazing!! Like, wow, how did ugly hairless monkeys like us even survive without it?! I just quit college, cuz, like, math and shit is just sooo booorrring (snore), but I still tweet! I twit and tweet and twat and twittle de do da, whooo hooo! I can do ANYTHING with twitter! It's like zombo.com, only better! Now I'm going to go tweet about this at my astronomy professor, who's such a dweeb he doesn't even know what twitter is ... AND he's such a dork he wouldn't even raise my grade when I offered him a blow job. What a dumb ass.

if we are going to consider the cdc's case and talking points, we should also consider what the zombie nation offers us, their motivations and their point of view:

http://zombo.com/

It's so feature-filled that I can do anything!

Anything at all. The only limit is yourself.

I used to just remove the context menu key and the insert key from my keyboard. But about 10 years ago, I mapped the context menu key to launch zombo.com. It seems most folks aren't familiar with the key's purpose - a fun prop for showing newbs how modern computing is so advanced, a single key-click is the only thing that stands between you and your ability to "do anything you want..."

You forgot Zombo.com. Everything is possible at zombocom.

I found luxury brands generally to overuse form over content, or very often usability, because there's generally, uh not much information to give about luxury products beside style.

So those brands generally have fixed layouts or - god forbid - autofullscreen with lots of flash, bizarre UI (or original) because the point of those sites is generally not to provide information, so why be clear when you don't have anything to tell.

I don't know if for a luxury product such as Apple this is a good thing or not strategy and consumer targetting-wise, but those are, for me, completely useless web sites (whether I like their product has no relationship whatsoever - what is exciting about a web site about champaign ? especially on a mobile phone ? ).

Flash can be good and has its niches (games, unified video viewer) ; HTML5 can - or cannot replace some or part of them, but luxury brands is no measure for it.
(And those kind of sites are rarely at the edge of tech).

What's next, usage rate of flash vs html 5 on http://www.zombo.com/ as a measure of html5 acceptability ? (I found it hard to think of a more useless kind of website in fact)

aaah there. it's all good now. I'm calm, I'm calm.

The unattainable is unknown at ZomboCom!

Try the mirror. (It needs sound and it takes a while to cache.)

Welcome! I always knew nothing was impossible. The only limit is yourself!

hands down the best out there, unlimited, and free

"Recovery.gov 2.0 will use innovative and interactive technologies to help taxpayers see where their dollars are being spent,"

Sounds pretty vague. Perhaps they're looking to design their site like Zombo.com. A most innovative way to spend $18 million.

You mean like http://www.zombo.com? (You have to have your sound on)

It would have everything, then.

What do you mean, useless? You can do ANYTHING at zombo.com!

I think if you look at these links, it's fairly obvious your argument doesn't hold water. Specifically, I take exception to the numerous times you've stated (and I won't bother to provide specific examples of this, because I'm not your link boy) that sex with children is a normal and natural part of society.

A perspective on the benefits government mandated censorship in Ireland.

Would this qualify as child porn for purposes of internet filters?

Demonstrates that censoring child pornography is worth the potential collateral damage.

Artistic freedom is not unreasonably suppressed by the outlawing of child pornography.

As anybody with an IQ above 20 can plainly see, you believe that child porn is acceptable in society and should not be outlawed. It's OBVIOUS. I've PROVEN it. In actual fact, you are a disgusting pervert for thinking that raping children is not a big deal. Go ahead and try to demonstrate my argument wrong. You can't--the evidence I've cited is plainly irrefutable. I'm not going to do any more of your research for you. Read the pages I've pointed you to. If you can't see what I'm talking about, then you're not doing it right because you're a moron.

http://zombo.com/

I don't know what's going on with that website. It vaguely reminds me of Zombo.com. There's nothing there, but it's some damned fine nothing.

For the idiots who don't get the joke..

Maybe if they disable Zombo.com the problem you mentioned will be solved. But... damn, you won't be able to do anything at Zombo.com!

Also, zombo.com.

Zombo com

You can do anything at Zombo com.

the unattainable is unknown

http://zombo.com/

welcome to zombo.com

welcome to zombo.com!

Everyone knows about Zombo of course. You could waste hours there without even thinking about it.

(To the theme of Obmoz.com. the quadratic parody of Zombo.com)
We are suing people involved with *open source Zotero*.
Never use Zotero. Zotero is bad. Yopu might think of using Zotero, but then we might sue you. Be afraid of Zotero! What was that program you were supposed to avoid again? Oh Yes. Zotero. That's right, make sure you remember to avoid *Zotero*.

(Citations, managed without paying the lawsuit aggressors.)

1. Zombo.com. Presumably a parody of empty DotBomb pseudocompanies, and possibly FeelGood management in general. http://www.zombo.com/

2. Obmoz.com. Meta-Parody of the highest class, repurposed by me for this additional context as an example of the mistake a lot of companies seem to be making these days. The brain attaches itself to nouns, so trumpeting the noun-name of your competitor that you hate defeats your purpose. http://www.obmoz.com/

Okay, that's really weird. Scary, really.

At first I thought you were referring to a company where the entire marketing/sales department was staffed by zombies. Now, that would be an unstoppable sales force!
