NY fashionistas weigh in on too-thin model flap
This needs to be an outright ban. I’m tired of seeing these stickly Ren look-a-likes.
This was mentioned before.
Anti-piracy campaigns are comedy. Before Captain Copyright there was MC Double Def DP the “Disk Protector”:
More info on the ‘92 anti-software campaign here.
So the big hot new Mac gadget is the iphone:
Shop Cingular | Cingular Wireless
and wow doesn’t that slimmed down pda/smartphone/media player/camera look nice, so why not want one?
-4 or 8 GB means not enough storage.
-Touchscreen makes for lousy dialing surface.
-Touchscreen makes for lousy keyboard.
-OSX looks nice but I like outlook.
-Camera lense is only good for snap shots would still need a digital camera
-Lastly, but most importantly, contract is held exclusively through Cingular wireless. One of the most craptacular providers (if not the most) around. EDGE is slow compared to EV-DO. So i spend $500.00 dollars for a phone that is stuck getting bottle-necked from a crappy provider. (Of course it had to be 3G that way it could be sold across a wider market, but still no sense in paying for slow internet)
-I don’t like apple’s position on DRM.
and there kids is a quick couple of reasons to not feel too bad about being on a two-year contract with (insert your providers name) thus unable to hop on the iphone bandwagon (hopefully they’ll make one that runs windows mobile and has a decent screen-lock)
Dark cloud over good works of Gates Foundation – Los Angeles Times
I new these shifty bastards had to be up to no good…
Looks like the foundation is just a tax exempt corporation. 95% towards more profit, 5% for the pesky poor. Long Article though.
Rappcats
New 9-Track album from Madlib and Talib Kweli, thats free. About time some of these ‘artists’ started putting their actions behind what they talk about. “I’m against ‘the system’ but use it to purchase my recordings, because I respect/accept ‘the systems’ business model.”
Rant aside…good promotional move, especially considering the cover art and that radio wouldn’t find them jiggy enough to play anyway. Download it and tell your friends. Support NON-DRM laden bullshit, a unique approach to marketing, and all the other shit that says its double-O seven biatch!!
Gerald Ford VS. James Brown
My votes going to the Godfather of Soul, cause life is better with songs like the The Boss

So here we are in the land of religious freedom and we have folks up in arms because someone wants to take an oath on the Koran.
So the NY Times had an article about the criticism that some congressman was giving another because he wanted to take an oath on the Koran:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/21/us/21koran.html (NY Times so you might want BugMeNot) Then a bunch of Virgina rednecks jumped up yapping about how the country is getting taken over because one muslim is taking a ceremonial (not LEGAL) oath on a Koran (although ideally people would take oaths on things that are valuable to them). Then there were some decent opinions…
“It may seem unfair that the United States allows Muslims to participate freely in public life while many Muslim societies deny the same rights to people of other faiths. But in this country we believe that freedom of religion protects everybody, including those who are in the majority today” 1
“More than five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, paranoia remains thick.” 2
I think its pretty funny that people are more concerned with who he prays to than what policies he will be voting for. Maybe if people paid a little bit more attention to those types of qualities we wouldn’t still be occupying a nation after paving the way for their Civil War.
Why do we give so much attention to attention starved rednecks? And why do these people represent a segment of this nations population? . . .another reason to stay the hell out of Virginia.
So i get this Pop-Up advertising some retards record titled the price of fame. . .
Why is he a rapper? Shouldn’t he be making bad movies or something like that? Kid star does not equal adult star. Somebody please send him the memo.
The price of fame is that I’m tired of seeing this joker.
(Notice title: Rapper not MC)
RIAA petitions to lower artist royalties, weakens piracy arguments
This is a good one for all those ‘protect the artists!” dick riders. Seriously folks, Fuck DRM and the RIAA.
BREITBART.COM – Scalia Argues for Better Judicial Pay
Federal Judges dont deserve more money; most hardly deserve what they’re getting now.
Federal Judges earned $165,200 and Scalia feels that: “you can’t raise a family on what the salary is”.
Yeah maybe if you’d cut down on the hunting trips with the ballin’ ass evil vice president you’d be able to get by on $165K you greedy ass bastard.
