Anheuser-Busch - Fodido

2008-07-14T10:49:00.001-04:00

According to Babelfish fodido is Portuguese for FUCKED! Go back and read about the blood letting that took place after the merger of AmBev and InterBrew. It was nasty. St. Louis is in for a wild ride while these decisions are made by Carlos Brito. He would be the Brazilian that speaks Portuguese and runs the Belgian based company. Now he will be slitting throats in Missouri as well. Grupo Modelo

Ted Kennedy returned to the Senate

2008-07-10T00:19:00.001-04:00

And got a standing ovation.

Rev. Jesse loves Obama too

2008-07-09T21:34:00.001-04:00

The Rev. Jesse Jackson apologized Wednesday for saying Barack Obama is “talking down to black people” during what Jackson thought was a private conversation before a FOX News interview Sunday. He also said: “I want to cut his nuts off.” WOW! Nut cutting? Seriously? Of course Obama is talking down to black people. He is a politician that needs to get elected. You win primaries by

Free Outlook Add on For Photographers

2008-06-04T20:10:00.000-04:00

I will confess that as much as I dislike Microsoft I really do like Outlook. It syncs with my BlackBerry, with Google Calendar and it does a serviceable job with IMAP email accounts. Me and Outlook, we go way back. All the way back to Office 97. It was very much a love hate relationship back then but really there was no other option. Word and Excel did their job reasonably well and Outlook was

We can't drill our way out

2008-07-09T20:38:00.001-04:00

Because more oil won't solve the problem and bring prices down. No offshore drilling, no drilling in Alaska and no drilling in the Rockies. So says Pelosi, Reid and a lot of other democrats. More oil isn't the answer. So what did Pelosi suggest? More oil. No shit. Right here in the USA Today: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called on President Bush to release oil from the government's

Just another politician

2008-07-09T21:27:00.001-04:00

"To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies." Today Sen. Obama voted for H.R. 6304 which gave retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies. He was against it before he was for it, or something like that. Just another example of a guy that will say whatever he needs to say to get elected. Technorati

Fighting Phishing

2008-07-08T10:09:00.001-04:00

Fresh on the heels of yesterday's announcement of remote activity logging and sign out features Gmail announces that they are working with eBay and PayPal to use domain keys to identify authentic eBay and PayPal emails. According to this blog post Gmail will now reject any message that appears to be from eBay or PayPal if the messages lacks a domain key identifier. Technorati Tags: google,

Killer New Gmail Feature

2008-07-07T17:26:00.001-04:00

Do you use the browser version of Gmail in odd places? School, work or at a friends house? Ever wonder if you forgot to log out? Google is rolling out a new feature that will end the worry. You will soon see the above line added to the footer of your Gmail inbox. When you click the details section you will see this: Gives you the IP address and access method for your recent account

That was fast.

2008-07-05T23:27:00.001-04:00

I told you so Harry.... This week, in an attempt to prevent financial meltdown, Nevada's Tourism Alliance convened an "Air Crisis Briefing" in an effort to prevent airline plans to halve the number of flights to the resort. The city's gut-busting "eat all you can" buffets are also being scaled back to account for the US's 4 per cent food inflation. Where a long queue of obesity once trailed

Harry Reid Hates Oil. And You.

2008-07-03T20:28:00.001-04:00

The no drill Democrats hate all of us. They are content to allow oil prices to skyrocket, begging the Saudi's to do more while we do nothing to access the oil that we have right here in this country. "We can't drill our way out of this". What the hell are we supposed to do in the mean time? Yes, I understand that drilling for more oil here won't solve the problem. It certainly will go a

Apple sued. Monopoly.

2008-01-04T11:43:00.001-05:00

iLounge.com has the story that I read. There is a woman named Stacie Somers and she decided that Apple is in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act because Apple doesn't support the Microsoft WMA file format. Let's take a look at a couple of key points in the complaint here. “Apple has engaged in tying and monopolizing behavior, placing unneeded and unjustifiable technological restrictions on

Pay fixed price for unlimited music?

2007-10-25T01:45:00.000-04:00

Got this via Google Alerts this morning. Seems the Dutch version of RIAA is going to propose a plan where ALL Dutch Internet subscribers will pay what amounts to $30 US each month for unlimited P2P music downloads. This fee would apply to EVERYONE. Even those who don't download music. Think that dog would hunt in the United States? No word on who will provide the digital files or

What happened with NBC/iTunes?

2007-10-29T01:27:00.000-04:00

Mr. Zucker has sounded off. You just knew it was about money. You know, NBC wanting to raise prices and Jobs telling them to go screw. It is a very well known fact that most of the time these relationships between the content provider and Apple always come to blows over what Steve won't let them charge. The content provider wanting to raise prices and Jobs holding the line. You can argue the

HD Radio. Anybody?

2007-10-31T01:26:00.000-04:00

Apparently not. I know that the guy with the totally anti-HD Radio blog posted a link to the compete.com charts but I much prefer using Google Trends. Google being the largest search engine their Trends site is a pretty accurate view of what is hot and what is not in terms of what people are actually searching for. Here is the Google Trends chart for Sirius, XM, HD Radio and Slacker: Yep,

HD Radio Really Does SUCK!

2007-11-11T15:24:00.000-05:00

OK, I feel like that Congressman that spends years and years running as the "family values" candidate and then get's caught up in the hooker scandal. You try and try to tell people to do as you say, not as you do but it just doesn't work. That's me today. One of my all time favorite radio stations went Internet only some years ago. I LOVED this little station out of Oxford, Ohio and actually

Want to kill HD Radio?

2007-11-11T00:23:00.000-05:00

The Copyright Royalty Board feels that the free pass that terrestrial radio gets on performance royalties needs to end. I happen to agree. Internet radio stations, Sirius, XM, Muzak, Dish Network (Sirius), DirecTV (XM) and cable providers ALL pay royalties to air music. Every bar, restaurant and diner that you go in to that plays music pays royalties. Every store that you shop in that plays

Royalties for Terrestrial Radio?

2007-12-21T00:22:00.000-05:00

--This post is a few days late. I thought I put it up and didn't. Sorry-- All I can say is it's about damn time. Just got a Google Alert for this story in the Washington Times announcing proposed legislation that would end the terrestrial radio exemption from performance royalties. It's about fucking time. I'll admit, before I subscribed to Sirius and XM I really didn't care about the issue at

Amazon MP3 Sales

2007-12-26T00:21:00.000-05:00

Man, I just don't care that Amazon is selling DRM free MP3's. Honest to God, I don't. I fall in the camp of iPod owners that just won't own anything else. Yes, I know that there are players that offer other features or more features but I am happy with what the iPod offers me. It does what it does simply and easily and doesn't pile on a bunch of stuff that I just don't care to have like AM/FM

Uh-oh. Apple <3 HD Radio

2007-12-28T00:12:00.000-05:00

If this rumor proves to be true you can forget this shit about HD Radio going away. I'm serious as hell here. Apple can single handedly save HD Radio from the dumper. I was a little intrigued when I first heard that on some HD Radio models listeners would be able to tag a song that they hear on their HD and buy that sucker on the iTunes Music Store. As Apple really didn't seem like they had

Netscape Is Dead

2007-12-28T00:10:00.000-05:00

Netscape has been dead for a very long time, but now it is official. I started out using Netscape Navigator. Back in the day my local ISP Fuse used it as the default browser on their CD that was sent to new subscribers. I was hooked on it the minute I first used it. I have never given Internet Explorer the time of day since. I went from Netscape Navigator to the Mozilla Suite and then on to
