Microsoft's Answer to Ipod?...

Have you heard about this

Al Gore visited Saudi Arabia to talk about the U.S. abuses to prisoners and how the Bush administration was responsible.

Escalation...

You see this is what I mean. A couple of years ago Houston's Police Chief's idea to put surveillance cameras in private areas would have instantly been dismissed as the most retarded idea a police chief has ever come up with. But now because of familiar rationalizations like "...if you are not doing anything wrong, why should you worry about it?" this man's idea is actually being taken seriously.

no hyperlink stuff on this browser, sorry.

but anyway, focus on the words "torture" "force-fed" "extreme temperatures" "noise and light" and my personal favorite "It says insufficient effort has been made to prove that the inmates really are enemy combatants. "

VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Read if you enjoy the internet...

There is some weird shit going on in the minds of telecommunication companies. Multiple heads of companies such as AT&T, BellSouth, and Verizon have spoken out and suggested that they aren't getting paid enough to take people to sites such as Google. Basically they want Google to pay them for the service of taking their internet customers to their site. In other words, not only do these companies want to charge their customers for the right to use the internet but they also want to charge websites for the right to give their customers content.

Does this type of plan sound familiar to anyone? Basically it seems to me that the telcomms want to change the internet into a whole bunch of AOLs. I mean Google and Yahoo may have the money to pay all of these companies but what about smaller sites? What about small-businesses? What about the newspaper industry that is already having a hard time online. Imagine if the only place you could read the news on your ISP was FOX News.

The internet is supposed to be free(ish). We put up a site with the domain name that we pay for using the space and bandwidth that we pay for (we pay for school so we pay for the bandwidth they provide). This allows us to speak our mind to anyone who wants to see it. Not just the people in certain ISPs.

Meanwhile Congress is considering provisions that would ensure "net neutrality". This would make the internet free (as in free speech not free beer) but we have to make sure that congress knows that we want the internet to be free (as in speech but beer would be nice). Look at the last link in this post for a petition you can sign and send to members of congress and telcomm CEOs. Please take action this is very important for the future of the internet.

For fans of depressing music...

Reports are coming in that the Smashing Pumpkins WILL in fact be reuniting. Reps for Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain (guitarist) have confirmed that they are working together under the name of Smashing Pumpkins. There has been no word on whether they will in fact get the original guitarist and bassist but Melissa Auf Der Maur who played bass on their last album and tour said she was willing to pitch in if need be. Hopefully, though, it will be a true pumpkins reunion.
