Darkavich's Daily Ramblings

Ran across this on the web:

How to chill a can of coke in under 2 minutes:

That would be about 20-25 minutes in a freezer. If you put [the can] in a bucket of ice, that would halve that time. If you put water in that ice, it’d be cold (+- 5c) enough to drink in about 4-6 minutes, if you put salt in that water, you’d reduce the chill time to just over 2 minutes. Agitating the can in the water, rolling it around, reduces the chill time even more.

The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can

OK, while trying to find out information about the iPhone launch, I ran across this article on yahoo:

Apple sold 525,000 …

The first paragraph isn’t even a complete sentence. I don’t see who reported this number and later in the article they claim cnet.com estimates their number. Zero fact in this article and it’s so vague that you have no way to verify where the numbers came from.

Yahoo! where the heck do you get the people who takes these Reuters feeds and re-write them?
