This was reported over one month ago via the Blogger contact mechanism. I never got any reply. I understand it’s free, and I guess I’m getting what I’m paying for. This problem happens only with New Blogger (Blogger Beta that is not theoretically Beta anymore — it was not an issue with the Original Blogger). […]
Green Stuff From Associated Press article dated February 06, 2007 11:16 PM EST First, this: “In the sensitive post-wardrobe malfunction world, some are questioning whether a guitar was just a guitar during Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show.” Well, I have to wonder myself. It was amazingly suggestive, and we were all, “Oh My God” but […]
Today, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer and iTunes and co-creator of all the cool stuff that represents has said that DRM sucks. Yes, he did. Posted it right there on Apple’s website for all to read, including some very unhappy people at record companies. DRM is digital rights management which translates to copy-protected songs. […]
In the next few days, this blog will record its 100,000th hit since it went live 17 October 2004 — who could have imagined? That’s huge. Traffic has died off over the past year, but that’s still an impressive number. It’s also terribly misleading. Most of our traffic is currently driven by the world famous […]
Apple (Computer) Inc. has reached a surprise agreement with Apple Corps Ltd., the record label started by The Beatles in 1968, concerning the use of the name “Apple” and related logos. Under the terms of the agreement announced Monday, Apple Inc. (formerly Apple Computer) will own all trademarks and logos related to the name “Apple” […]
If you read these DRM comments and still install it, you’re a nutter. Seriously, you can’t play selected CDs, you can’t use selected hardware and cables. It’s just screwed. Seriously, I am anti-Microsoft and I gladly admit that, but these things are even worse than you could imagine. If you must use Windows, at least […]
The Guardian broke this story, which has since appeared elsewhere. I think, at this point, most people realize Global Warming is an issue. Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by ExxonMobile in order to undermine a major climate change report (released 2-2-07). Travel expenses and additional payments were […]
In a previous post, I reported that Daniel Radcliffe was going to be naked in a new play. I made lots of jokes about Harry Potter and his magic wand. Etc. Well, he’s off and done it now. Previews are beginning soon and he’s posing for ads. I am amused. I am sure every teenage […]
Yes, it’s happened. A show that was clever and witty, if not original has jumped the shark. I specifically point to the extended musical number with Stewie that was coupled with an old live-action dancer (Gene Kelly?). It was boring, contrived, and irrelevant. To be funny you have to have a point of some sort […]
Hi All: There is an update on Dad. I want to thank those of you who have sent your support. He has gotten two opinions from two different doctors at two different hospitals and they concur on the diagnosis. The cancer is stage 3. It has not responded to initial chemotherapy treatments. It has not […]
