Wow, when enwiki decides to waste time, they certainly don’t half-ass it.

Wow, I cannot honestly believe I am writing this post today. Who’d have thought I would ever write a post about Magic Jack. For those of you who don’t know, Magic Jack is a VoIP product in the US. Known for their bad commercials and customer complaints, they’re a joke.

In any case, one of their commercials came on a few minutes ago. For some odd reason, I decided to look at their website. It’s actually not half bad. I took a look at their HTML and it’s pretty simple and straightforward. On their homepage, you’ll notice their banner:

Free Offer

Taking a look at their HTML, it would seem this banner isn’t what it seems:

MagicJack HTML

And some of their JS would seem to back that up. Now, page counters are a bit outdated these days. But if you’re going to use a page counter, don’t lie about it. Don’t pretend it’s some indication of how many customers you’ve gained today.

So long to a Richmond tradition

Completely unrelated to programming at all, but found this item in the local news. Richmond-based Ukrops is probably selling. So long to a 70+ year supermarket chain Richmonders love.
