A few months after Google Calendar added support for handling webcal: links in Chrome, Gmail can now become the default handler for mailto: links. If you open Gmail in Google Chrome, you’ll see an infobar at the top of the page that asks if you “allow Gmail to open all email links”. Just click “use Gmail” and all the mailto: links (like admin@google.com) will open using Gmail, instead of a native mail client like Outlook or Thunderbird.
“Chrome allows web services to ask if you’d like to use them to open certain links. While most links generally take you to another page, some links can open programs and perform other actions. For example, mailto: links can open your email program and webcal: links can add events to your calendar program. These links are referred to as protocols and the programs they use are called handlers. Many web services these days, including Gmail and Google Calendar, can act as handlers,” explains Google.
To edit protocol handlers in Chrome, open the settings page, go “under the hood”, click “Content settings” and then “manage handlers”. Another option is to open a new tab and paste this in the address bar: chrome://settings/handlers. By default, you’ll see an almost empty page with no active handler. You can add protocol handlers from the sites that support this feature: Gmail, Google Calendar (and other services in the future).
Chrome is a little late to the party: Mozilla added support for protocol handlers in Firefox 3, back in 2008 and you can set Gmail as default handler for mailto: from the options dialog.

Young adults are known for their ridiculous escapades in finding the next cheap high. Some have resorted to snorting nutmeg found in their household spice rack or even snorting recreational bath salts that are not related to soaking in tub. There are however other disturbing and disgusting trends that young adults in the world have resorted to. Although primarily restricted to Zambia, the disputed inhalant known as Jenkem may have reached the United States. Any young adult who uses inhalants or any other drug should seek help at a drug rehab center that features a young adult drug program.
Disputed Drug
Jenkem is a much disputed drug, although verified as s drug in Zambia its use in the United States has created wide controversy. Many of the reports from the United States detailing the use of Jenkem have been debunked as hoaxes. Although that may have been the case initially, there are cases of Jenkem use being reported popping up. The only way to get over this addiction is to go to drug addiction rehabilitation.
The Horror
The first discovery of Jenkem was reported in the 1990’s. A non-profit agency primarily working with orphaned African children in Zambia reported its use as the third most popular drug among street children. Jenkem is known as a hallucinogenic inhalant, it is generated from fermented human waste. In essence, Zambian children are getting high off of excrement.
Manufacturing
The use and manufacturing of Jenkem is described as scraping fermenting human sewage from pipes and storing it in plastic bags for about a week. It can also be scraped into old cans and containers which are then covered by a polyethylene bag and left to ferment for a week. There is enough room left over for the methane gas to form at the top.
Effects
There have been varying reports dictating the effects of Jenkem. It is used as a hallucinogenic; the high is more potent than that of cannabis. The hallucinations are of an auditory and visual nature. Aside from the euphoria there are other effects. Biohazards aside, hypoxia resulting from lack of oxygen flow is very detrimental to the human body.
Fictitious Drug
There were many reports that came out around 2007 reporting the use of Jenkem in the United States. However, they were widely reported as hoaxes and media frenzy. What is definitely known is that it is a verified drug of choice among those in Zambia. There have been sparse reports from the United States purporting the use of Jenkem in American high schools. The slang term “butt hash” came from Jacksonville, Florida in reference to Jenkem.
A lot has happened since the birth of the iconic iPhone. The smartphone industry has evolved, with more manufacturers and millions of customers loving or hating them. People’s attitudes have changed, so have their needs.
The original iPhone won over many hearts back in 2007, but will the newest iPhone, the iPhone 5 will be successful in the same way?
There is no reason why it should fail. But the battle will be tougher than ever for Apple, with strong competition with the tags of Android, larger screen, quad core chip, LTE, and of course, the new Windows Phone.
Android has had a blast last year, and it is getting bigger and better. MWC 2012 is seeing a whole lot of Android smartphones that would lure customers, some with four cores, like the HTC One X and the LG Optimus 4X. But concerns of battery life prevail.
Bigger screen is one advantage of Android devices, as compared to the 3.5 inch screen of the Apple smartphone. iPhone users also expect the next gen smartphone to sport a bigger screen.
LTE has been left out as well, but the chipsets might soon make it to iPhones, with smaller size and more power efficiency.
And, we should mention the potential competition the Nokia Microsoft team up would give Apple. Windows Phone is Nokia’s revival plan in the smartphone space.
It is expected to work wonders and if it does, there’s another rival for Apple.
Back to iPhone; word has it that Apple may redesign some of the internal components of the next iPhone to allow for larger batteries. Apple of course is silent, as everyone else is all talks about a fall launch of the iPhone 5.

The use of alcohol and alcohol abuse are not just modern scourges to society. These issues have been around since ancient times. Ancient records bemoan the use of alcohol and tell lavish stories of inebriated rulers and festivals in honor of alcohol deities. From the Sumerians to the Romans alcohol has been a beverage of choice. Perhaps that is why today there are alcohol detox centers to aid those who suffer from an alcohol addiction.
Ancient Evidence
Ancient artworks depict copious amounts of alcohol and alcohol jugs next to rulers and deities alike. Neolithic discoveries unearthed jugs that contained fermented beverages made from berries or honey. This is evidence that alcohol consumption is not a contemporary phenomenon. The worship of wine infused deities such as Osiris and Dionysius was also rampant throughout the ancient world.
Views On Consumption
Alcohol has been used for centuries in secular and religious practices. However, numerous accounts of the ancient periods also stressed the importance of moderation. A sentiment society still stresses today. Ancient Egyptians didn’t necessarily believe that being inebriated was a problem; they did however frown upon taverns and excessive drinking. The same with the Greeks and Romans although wine and alcohol flowed freely, and there was no issue with inebriation at festivals, excessive alcohol consumption didn’t seem to be a problem. At the end of the day, the only way to beat alcohol addiction is with alcohol detoxification.
Religious Practices
Practices dating back to the Neolithic times featured wine and alcohol in religious rites. There were many wine and alcohol deities who were widely celebrated such as Osiris and Dionysius, and festivals such as the Roman festival of Bacchanalia. Bacchus was the Roman version of Dionysius, the deity of wine and merriment. Modern day practices involving alcohol include pagan rituals with the ingesting of bread and imbibing of ale. Christian sects also feature the drinking of wine and/or the blood of Christ.
Temperance
The Egyptians discussed moderation when it came to alcohol consumption. This view widely changed. The Greeks, Romans, and Macedonians alike widely practiced intemperance. Notorious historical figures such as Alexander the Great were known for their over consumption of inebriating beverages. Wine and alcohol were celebrated as gifts from the gods and were therefore imbibed on a frequent basis.
Drinking Games Aren’t New
Any jaunt on a college campus on a Friday or Saturday night will find plenty of drinking games, beer pong, beer battle ship, drinking card games, the list goes on. These however are not new ideas. They have been practiced since the early Roman period. One such drinking game included the drinking of as many cups of alcohol as possible at the throw of a dice.
Shift In Thoughts
From the Sumerians to the Romans ideals surrounding alcohol continuously varied. Some periods discussed the virtue of temperance and moderation while others memorialized the intemperance of alcohol. Prominent men throughout history were either honored for their temperance such as Julius Caesar or were widely praised for their drunken ruling practices. Even as Christianity shifted thoughts, the prevalence of alcohol in rituals continued.

In summary: The September That Never Ended, a.k.a. Eternal September, stems all the way back to September 1993; that was the time when
Prior to the influx of those AOL’ers, September was the time when a whole bunch of college freshman from across the country started using Usenet for the first time, learned (the hard way) what the communication standards were, and by the end of that month everything went back to normal. But when the AOL’ers came on the scene, they simply never learned at all.
What exactly were the standards?
The standards varied depending on the newsgroup you were posting to, but an example of a general rule set
For example, even now in 2012 there are STILL PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN ALL CAPS LIKE A MORON, have no clue how to write a proper descriptive subject, have absolutely no idea how to quote properly, use stupidly long ridiculous signatures, and so on.
Most people don’t use Usenet newsgroups anymore (especially considering several major ISPs have dropped access to it altogether), but almost two decades later we still have the same problems, except now they’re in email.
The struggle continues.
