Posted by Stanislav Furman on September 30, 2013A very interesting news recently came out from Google:
Google is developing an anonymous identifier for advertising, or AdID, that would replace third-party cookies as the way advertisers track people's Internet browsing activity for marketing purposes.

Posted by Stanislav Furman on September 13, 2013Flight 666 to "HEL" on Friday the 13th
Posted by Stanislav Furman on September 13, 2013News feeds today reported a funny fact. There is a daily flight number 666 from Copenhagen (CPH) to Helsinki (HEL). Therefore, unsurprisingly that media reporters payed their attention to this flight since today is Friday 13th!
There is no passengers who cancelled their trip on this flight reported.
And you? Would you board Flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? :-)
Loose comparison in PHP. Example of breakable functionality.
