…is that by the Fake Steve Jobs.

It’s either sad or funny, I can’t decide. The overpaid spoiled morons who write all the shit that gets blasted out onto the TV networks want even more money for their piles of shit. What makes it beautiful is that the guys on the other side of the fight are even more overpaid and more moronic and more full of crap than the writers. It’s like watching two guys you really despise get into a barfight, and you don’t know which one you want to win and ultimately you just hope they both beat the daylights out of each other.

screenshot

A side project I’ve been working on the last couple of weeks is finally finished: superscreenshot.com. As the name implies, the site will produce a screenshot of any URL you send it — a full-page screenshot — not just the top screen. It’s a free, ad-supported service.

If you send a URL it already has on file, it returns the saved screenshot and gives you the option of refreshing it. Since any screenshot program has to download the actual web page in its entirety before it can make the screen capture, this will take anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute or more depending on how many images and ads the page contains (since we generally start reading a page as soon as the content is loaded, we normally don’t realize how long many pages take to completely load the last Google Analytics script or third-party ad).

If too many screenshot requests come in at once there’s a queue since the hardware can only process so many screenshots at a time. But the AJAX-style updater gives you the current progress.

Without further ado, head on over to superscreenshot.com and give it a try.
