Dear Red States:
We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, and
we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware,
that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially
to the people of the new country of New California.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We
get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the [...]

(from www.rushisaband.com)
When I was stuck in Olympia WA last week, the saving grace of our stay was our gracious host Kirk Leonnard and his girlfriend Amy, and their guest room devoted to their Xbox 360, and more specifically, Rock Band. It was there that Kirty South and I found solace, singing and plucking our depression away to the likes of the Beastie Boys, The Marshall Tucker Band and Black Sabbath. We also discussed woman-repellent music including Canadian arena rock champions, Rush. Oh! If only we had access to the tracks [...]

And I remember when I got a phone that could take pictures I was pumped.
Since 2004, a team of professors and students from the University of California, Berkeley has searched for ways to let a single human supervise a team of robot planes. Now, this Center for Collaborative Control of Unmanned Vehicles has a new device for ordering around its drones: an iPhone.
In a video taken from this month’s Teaching & Technology conference, the Berkeley crew uses an iPhone to pick tasks for its drone squadron, input a set of [...]
Wait, Yahoo had a Music Download service?
Posted on 04. Feb, 2008 by spencer in Idiocy, Internet, Music
Yep, apparently so. I guess myself and the rest of the civilized world hadn’t really taken much notice. Well, now I guess Rhapsody is swallowing up their flimsy business in hopes of consolidating a losing venture.
Spin City:
“Our partnership with Rhapsody, the acquisition of FoxyTunes and the release of the web-based Yahoo! Media Player moves Yahoo! Music closer to our goal of enabling users to play all of the music on the Web,” said Yahoo’s vice president of video and media applications, Ian Rogers. “But, it doesn’t end there. Yahoo [...]

Microsoft, realizing that their MSN and Hotmail services have started to look almost cool compared to the absolute garbage provided by overvalued internet dinosaur Yahoo, offered up an unexpected buyout offer of $44.6B this morning, an offer Yahoo said it will study “carefully and promptly. ” The company formed by combining Yahoo and Microsoft will be catered specifically to the 1% of internet users, mainly old people, retards and foreigners who don’t automatically use Google for everything.
Microsoft Patents Mind Reading Technique
Posted on 12. Dec, 2007 by Daniel Taylor in Blog, Internet, Science, Technology
Paging Philip K. Dick:
In August 2007, software giant Microsoft filed a patent application for a system that would allow it to access thoughts. The patent describes pattern-recognition techniques that can be applied to electroencephalograph (EEG) signals – a measure of electrical activity in the brain – to determine what cognitive state the subject is in.
And you thought that Zune ad we used to have on this blog was annoying…wait until those fuckers can get in your MIND, brah! It’ll be like that shitty Tom Cruise movie a few years ago, [...]
FairUse4M DRM Cracked Again
Posted on 17. Jul, 2007 by Bill in Internet, Music, Technology
Microsoft keeps patching it and hackers keep hacking it. Microsoft’s Digital Rights Management just got cracked again in the age old DRM battle (although I guess it’s not really “age old” since this hasn’t really been going on for that long). Word has it that the new version of FairUse4M (which is apparently really called FairUse4WM, v1.3 Fix 2 if you wanna get technical) even features a drag and drop interface to make things even more user friendly. No need for that XP and Windows Media Player 10 with that [...]
