How to beat Facebook's iLike Music Challenge

In my infinite boredom I managed to find away to never lose at Facebook's iLike challenge, given enough time and patience.

Ok, here we go.

Step One: Get Firefox
Link in the sidebar

Step Two: Go to iLike Challenge
If you haven't installed ilike yet, install it

Step Three: Get song clip
PAUSE the game before the clip begins to play
Right-click the iLike frame and select "This Frame > View Page Source"
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the source and look for var g_data
Inside var g_data you can see the question, as well as the clip url.
Copy clip url to new tab, and you can listen to the song.

Step Four: Get answers
Go back to iLike page
Again, right-click on the frame, but go to "This Frame > View Page Info"
At the top, click the tab that says "links"
About 5 items down you should see the question, with all 4 answers below it.

Step Five: Google
If you haven't figured out the answer yet, you can google the lyrics of the song, or go to amazon.com and check out the preview clips for the four songs/artists mentioned.



There you go, an easy (albeit time consuming) way to beat iLike's challenge. I was thinking of making a greasemonkey script to do some of the grunt work automatically, but I'm just too lazy for that. Any javascript professionals, feel free.

Shocking News

Nancy Grace is a nutcase.

If you remember [this post] where I said Nancy Grace was an illegitimate source of news, there is a tad more evidence to support this, courtesy of the Daily Show.

This is a prime example of Nancy making unfounded claims on court cases. What's the point in choosing a bias on a case that will be decided by a judge/jury? The purpose of the American justice system is to decided between guilty and innocent, the purpose of a political talk show is to provide enough emotional fire to get viewers back the next night.


As for the lack of posting, midterms are rearing their ugly heads. Also, I've been lacking on original things to write about, so if you have any ideas, leave a comment.
