… Either that or she’s in flat-out denial.
I’d have been happy to vote for her, but c’mon, Hill, it’s getting embarrassing. Now, even republicans are supporting Barak.
[side note: this video won a contest on MoveOn.org and remains probably the least believable thing I've seen all day. Including all of those maaagical rainbows that fell out of the sky into my morning coffee and supercharged me with the ability to shoot lightning from my eyeballs.]
You may want to reconsider after seeing these ads.
Even if it’s Nine Inch Nails. As a “thank you” to their “fans”, NIN released a new “album” that is available for free on their “website”. Click here to download.
Delicious.
For old time’s sake:
Check out these fantastic images of galaxies colliding… released by NASA, brought to you by Wired.
PETA is at it again, offering a million dollar reward to the first company that can create “test-tube” meat at an affordable cost by the year 2012.
I don’t know how I feel about this. I guess if bacon still tastes like bacon, I’m in.
Recently, I discovered that music purchased from iTunes has a shelf-life of 5 computers. That means that any song you purchase can only be played on up to five computers.
I discovered this when I re-wrote my existing computer and tried to play a song on here. iTunes told me that this was the second of five computers I had the right to play the song on. And yet, this is technically the same computer as the first one. So, two lives gone on one computer equals angry KB.
I have four other computers. That means I can’t put the songs I’ve downloaded on all my computers. That’s a shame. And guess what I chose to do next. I chose never to download from iTunes again. Nice work, Mr. Jobs. Good thinking.
Now today, I read an article that Microsoft has done something similar, but worse - if that’s possible.
Microsoft’s decision effectively places an expiration date of about three to five years on song libraries that MSN Music customers thought they had purchased for life.
Classy. If you were one of the unsuspecting people who purchased music through MSN, your music is about to expire. Ha ha. You’re dumb.
And here, the bigwigs retain their fat bank accounts with our hard earned dollars, while we unwittingly utilize resources, goods, and services that all along have been rented, not purchased.
Fantastic.
The Sony Corporation is releasing a line of remodeled storefronts called their “Playstation” stores, similar to Apple stores, nationwide. Great for gamers, bad for science. To enter into the new stores you have to have your body transformed into a stream of particles via a machine similar to that seen in Michael Crichton’s Timeline. Also, to enter Playstation land you have to dress either like Robin Hood or Peter Pansy.
Zap!
