Houston, We Have a Throblem
Just watch the video....NSFW.
Great Joke.
So the RIAA and the National Association of Broadcasters have come together and proposed a fantastic idea. They want to force manufacturers of portable devices such as mp3 players and mobile phones to include a FM radio in every such device manufactured. Seriously? When was the last time you listened to a fucking radio station? Local radio is a vast wasteland of talentless personalities pushing poorly made advertisements interrupted occasionally by the same recycled crap music that they played an hour ago.
Radio Broadcasters have not woken up to the reality that their entire industry is already dying. What sane person would listen to an FM radio station on their mobile phone when they have access to Pandora, Last.FM or one of a dozen other streaming music services. Radio morons always use the same guise, we are providing valuable local information and if there is ever an emergency you'll be glad we're there. If there's an emergency then I'll grab any one of the shitty little emergency radios that I have lying around my house that haven't been used in 15 years.
Oh and associated yourself more closely with the RIAA is a great idea....they're so fucking popular with consumers.

Douchebag
A wise man once said that your driving skill does not correspond to the size of your wallet.
Here's a perfect example of that.

The Secret to being Evil.
Hopeful nerds around the world have always seen Google as some kind of White Knight in the corporate world. Mostly because Google gives a lot of their services away for free but also because the founders have always pushed the philosophy of "Don't Be Evil".
Google has been making back door deals with Verizon to try and ensure they get preferential treatment in the coming bandwidth wars. When you get betrayed by the ones you love it's always the hardest.
This Techcrunch article is the best one I've seen about the whole situation.

R.I.P.
R.I.P. Former (i.e. disgraced) Senator Ted Stevens.
I've given Stevens shit in the past for his disgraceful exit from the Senate but I'm still sorry for his family.
Still, he was responsible for one of the best Internet Memes ever....the Series of Tubes.

Time to punt.
Google and Verizon come out in favor of Net Neutrality...
So at first your like, way to go Verizon! Finally you've done something that is not a total dick move. However...they only want this lack of FCC restrictions to apply to wired networks. What's the big deal there you ask? Verizon knows that wireless is the future and that market has WAY BIGGER margins for them. It's far cheaper to build towers and create a decent mesh network than to buy right of ways and dig ditches for fiber. Besides, wireless users are already conditioned to pay exorbitant amounts of money for tiny amounts of data.

The Douchebag Chronicles
Reason #5432 to hate Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook.
He's worth AT LEAST $4 Billion and he drives an Acura TSX.......are you fucking serious?
I think a portion of my brain just shut down because I literally cannot comprehend that fucking statement. With billions at his disposal he could drive something truly magnificent but he chooses to drive the automotive equivalent of a scientific calculator. Talk about the ultimate expression of his personality, or lack there of.
What a douchebag!!!!

O.M.G.
Watch the Pagani Zonda R set a new Nurburgring lap record.
Make sure you watch that in HD. The most amazing thing is that the camera appears to be mounted in some kind of super steady gimbal rig because you can see the movement of the roll cage and dash as the car flexes through turns. Fucking amazing.
