If you’re a gamer, you might have run across a software called “StarForce“. This is something installed on CDs making sure that they can’t be copied. Now, in general, I can see why game producers would use such a product, piracy is bad, and they lose money because of it. But, StarForce is notorious in [...]

I saw this film the other night, and now I hear that it has been nominated several times for Oscars. I am happy to say that I agree with that, the acting was excellent, the general feel of the movie and the “flow” from beginning to end was flawless. Not once did I check my [...]

Specifically, MY emails.
Why? I have 21 blogs listed on Technorati. Now, the ones I continually update, The English Guy and Balanced News Blog are kept “up to date” on Technorati’s side. They accurately show when the blogs were “last updated”.
But the rest? Most of them have dates of 143 days (as of today, Jan 31st). [...]

Have you ever been in a crowded place, say an elevator, movie theater, subway etc., and someone gets a phone call or should i say, twenty people get phone calls, and jabber on and on as if no-one else were near? That’s why this device, the cellphone jammer (hat tip: Gizmodo) will one day be [...]

This is an interesting story, something from Germany that most of us english speakers probably never hear about. But now we certainly will, thanks to the Guardian.
Apparently there is a campaign afoot in Germany to make Germans more cheery, by the head of the leading German advertising company Jung von Matt, Jean-Remy von Matt. His [...]

Maybe it’s just me, but I thought that people who were in custody and on trial, had no choice over where they went. Kept in cells, transported everywhere in shackles/handcuffs, and guarded at all times, how in God’s name can Saddam Hussein “walk out” on his trial?
According to the BBC though:

The former Iraqi leader then [...]

I have to say, this was inevitable, that someone famous or well-known would be injured in an IED explosion. Not to detract from those talented journalists and valiant, selfless soldiers who serve there who have died, but Bob Woodruff is a celebrity and a big deal is going to be made about this.
No doubt someone [...]

I find a lot of the music I listen to from commercials. Yeah.
Today I saw the new commercials, and after searching through AdTunes.com I found a link to the song I was looking for - Persephone’s Bees, Nice Day. Then a link to PromoGuy’s blog, with links to the music clips at MySpace. I need [...]

Now call me a right-winger if you want (says I, aghast at being called a liberal by someone before), but I think that that this opening paragraph of the ABC News article really puts this whole thing into perspective:

The U.S. Army in Iraq has at least twice seized and jailed the wives of suspected insurgents [...]

You have to have a good laugh at politicians sometimes, because let’s face it, they’re all lying SOBs. Point of proof? See The Political Teen’s post on Maureen Dowd’s excuses:

On last night’s edition of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Maureen Dowd basically excused Clinton’s lies because “everyone knew he was lying”, however condemned Bush for his [...]
