As part of my continuing effort to waste time, I present to you… Webology Weekly: Internet Dissection. If you know me at all, you know I live on the internet. I don’t even know how much time I’ve wasted staring at a monitor.  If you’re reading this, I’ve already wasted 10 seconds of your life. Hey, I feel better already. :]

In a nutshell, Webology Weekly will be a weekly digest of the web. All of the coolest, funniest, weirdest, dumbest, and WTFest stuff on the internet smashed into one delicious post. Calm down, it’s not healthy to be that excited. So let’s get started.

Windows 7 beta keys for all

Microsoft extended the 2.5 million people cap for the public beta of Windows 7. The public beta is now available for download until January 24th and lasts until August 1st. Grab yourself a copy, you won’t regret it.

Bonus: List of special features in Windows 7, How to dual boot Windows 7

UN Headquarters in Gaza hit by Israeli white phosphorous shells

The Geneva Convention prohibits the use of incindiary weapons against civilians or in civilian areas. Israel has denied the use of white phosphorous before. Enough said.
