If you've seen Inception, you know the ridiculousness that is idea of a meta dream world. But if you can't seem to wrap that concept around your head, then perhaps this explanation will lay it out for you in laymen's terms. Jonah Ray, host of the Web Soup, posted a nifty graphic in his Tumblr explaining the many levels of Inception's dream hierarchy using Mac OS X folders.

Translate Business Jargon into Real Speech [APPS]

“Ninja,†“Guru,†“Team Player,†“Personal Brand†— if this litany of terms gets your skin crawling, you might want to check out this novelty app: Unsuck It.
Brought to you by Mule Design, Unsuck It basically does just that: When you enter a term like, say, “Ninja†into the search bar, the app translates it into normal person language (see below).
You then have the option of sharing it on Twitter, or “e-mailing the douchebag who used it†— said e-mail contains the subject line, “Hey, douchebag! Stop torturing the English language!†and a link to the term and translation in the body.
The site also features the option “I’m Feeling Douchey,†which unearths a random term, and a “Browse†tab by which you can sift through other gems.
All right, ye of the office-bound variety — future fighters of the weekend wars — tell us in the comments, what’s the worst jargon-y term you’ve heard (or used…) all day?
