It’s spring. Love is in the air. So, if you’re a geek, madly in love, and dead set on getting married to your sweetheart, how do you go about it?
Maybe this will give you some inspiration. Here are bunch of marriage proposals, geek style.
(After the big report yesterday, we thought it was time to lighten things up a bit.

As you may have noticed, our April Fool’s joke this year was to take irony into overdrive and launch SaveIE6.com. There simply is no other browser that web developers love to complain more about than IE6, so turning the tables on them (no pun intended) and make a whole site dedicated to praising IE6 seemed like a fun idea.
Luckily for us, irony proved to be alive and well on the Internet. The site has been incredibly well received, and was one of the most retweeted links on Twitter yesterday. If you haven’t checked it out already, you might want to take a look!
We have picked out some of the funniest comments people added to the petition page, all explaining why IE6 is a superior browser… 
Sometimes you just need to take a short break, relax and have fun. A great way to do so is to check out some funny web comics, and we here at Pingdom are big fans of comics that dive into the slightly more geeky aspects of life. Once a tech geek, always a tech geek…
So, sit back and relax, take a few moments to yourself and check out some of the best tech comics around.
Sometimes bad things just happen, we all know that. And sometimes they happen to our loved ones (we’re talking about our computers here).
For the last five years the data recovery company Kroll Ontrack has been publishing a yearly list of strange ways people have broken their computers and/or hard drives. We here at Pingdom have gone through those press releases and handpicked the funniest and most bizarre incidents, for your reading pleasure.
There has been a lot of talk this week about the Dow Jones stock index dipping below 8000 for the first time since 2003.
Now let’s put this into perspective with a very telling old ad.
The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) probably hasn’t escaped the notice of anyone who has used a computer in the last decade or so. If you haven’t seen it on your own PC, you probably know someone it has happened to.
There is actually a ridiculous amount of BSOD photos to be found around the Web. And not just of PCs. As this post will show you, the blue error screen seems to show up everywhere, and often in highly unexpected locations.
This is a collection of some of the very best ones we could find. Enjoy!
We stumbled upon this very weird picture on the front page of the Swedish IDG News website next to an article about how businesses can promote themselves on Twitter. The strange thing is that the image they used is the Twitter logo on what looks like a cigarette pack.
What were they thinking? Twitter smokes?
We have taken a screenshot so you can see what we’re talking about.
Not long ago we all used an ordinary encyclopedia when we needed to find information about something. Today the Internet can give us the answer to (almost) anything. When it comes to getting the facts on basically anything between heaven and earth, one particular site really stands out. Yes, Wikipedia, we are talking about you. [...]
Text ads can be smart, funny, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious when they show up in the wrong context. David, our web designer and marketing maestro here at Pingdom was surfing the web last night and put together a list of really funny and original text ads from Google Adwords. We liked them so much that [...]
Google owns a whole bunch of domain names other than the obvious ones like google.com, blogger.com and gmail.com. We here at Pingdom decided to find out which ones, with some truly surprising results. We only looked at .com domain names, and found thousands. Below are some of the more noteworthy .com domain names that Google [...]
