favicon wall 

The point at which the number of tabs open in your browser results in the small tab icon (favicon) disappearing.

As in: 'hitting the favicon wall'

The result being that you are no longer able to identify which tab is which, and must therefore either go though them one by one, or start closing tabs in order to (once again) see each tab's favicon, so that you can easily identify the content of each tab.

The Japanese name of the Nintendo Entertainment system (NES). It might also be known as the "Nintendo Family Computer". It's an 8-bit console that played cartridge-style games. You can easily tell the difference from the US and JP version by its cosmetics; US had gray/black, JP had red/white/gold.
Wow, you're playing the NES? In 2005? You're totally old-school.

famiclone 

A modern-day third-party gaming system that plays old-school game cartridges like those from the NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis. Some examples include the Retro Duo, the FC Twin Video Game System, and the 2 in 1 video game system for Sega Genesis and NES (Hyperkin).
I can't afford both an NES and a SNES, so I'll just get myself a famiclone for half the price.
