This is a scientific research project done by geniuses made to explain another aspect of why men and women are so different.

I saw this girl perform when the premier of American Idol aired a few days ago. She is scary, but at the same time pretty funny. She definitely doesn’t have any musical talent, she should do something else with her routine though. Check it out:

Wow this is the funniest video I have ever seen…congrats to the new SNL member and his new found success. This is the most viewed video on the Internet at the moment (yes I know i’m a little late on this video).

**EDIT: Here is the unrated version.

It is almost inevitable that a website will be hacked. Someone always thinks they control the Internet and police sites they don’t like. Even the company I work for, an enormous website with lots of protection, got hacked for pissing someone else off.

There is nothing a webmaster can do about this except try to protect the site. If you are really savvy you may even retaliate. Unfortunately I fell victim (along with all the sites on the server I am on) to a hack. My server admin informed me that someone had hacked his server. This hacker flooded the server with requests for the same data over and over again. Honestly, I shouldn’t even be talking about this for two reasons. First, the hacker might read this and get pleasure that they were mentioned. Second, the hacker might read this and hack us again. Regardless, the first hack did absolutely nothing to the server or my site. I believe the site went down for all of 10 seconds while the admin checked a few settings but other than that there was nothing more than a hiccup.

Again getting hacked is pretty hard to avoid. Just the other day reddit.com was hacked and the user names and passwords of tons of people were stolen. Now you might say who cares if someone has my reddit info, but if you are like many people you have one user name and password for every one of your hundred different websites you sign in to. This was a major blow to reddit.

One thing I did not mention is why I was hacked. In all honesty, I really don’t know. It could be because a jealous digger saw my site get to the front page and decided I should pay. Whatever the reason I survived to see another day. So for all webmasters out there when you get hacked, just hope for the best and don’t get too angry/upset.

!337$P34K (leet speak) as its name shows, is a way of communicating with text using different letters or numbers to correspond to other letters or numbers. Basically it’s for people who play computer games like WoW, and anime freaks (I know i’m going to get e-mails for that one). Basically, it’s harmless. However, this news story makes leet speak or “elite speak” sound like Osama Bin Laden uses it to pass messages to his terrorist cells. Watch how ridiculous this is.

1) Sony Lithium-Ion Batteries: Computer manufactuers have recalled 9.6 million Sony made notebook battiers so far this year. The recall to date has cost sony about $433 million, bur reputation costs were much higher.

2) Amazon.com Unbox: Amazon’s movie download service was a complete flop. It is slower than driving yourself to Blockbuster. Its restrictive on how the purchaser uses the movie they paid for. It has lower resolution than a DVD. It requires a cable from your PC to TV. Horrible.

3) Vonage VoIP: With little to no reliable customer service and the constant question of clarity and receiving voice mail in a timely fashion, Vonage’s Voice Over Internet Protocol telephone may be cheaper, but is it anything but efficient.

4) Hewlett Packard: HP was a legend in Silicon Valley making a good product and doing good philanthropic work. What’s all that worth when executives violate the privacy of employees, journalists, and even board members? Planting spies in newsroom janitor staffs? Yes, I’m sure HP will not put any spyware or other questionable features in their computers. I can trust HP. Can’t I?

5) Microsoft Vista: Initially Microsoft will not be giving access to the Vista Kernal or core code to any of its third-party security software vendors until Service Pack 1 is released. So until SP1 you will be depending soley on Microsoft to protect your computer. I wish I was lying, but I’m not. Microsoft screws up again. Maybe we can spin this into a new antitrust lawsuit =).

6) Recording Industry Association of America: This year the RIAA released a film called “Campus Downloading” warning students that they could be kicked out of school and arrested for downloading music without permission or paying a fee for all digital music. So much for fair use. With all the complaining that consumers don’t really buy and own digital music, I guess I wasn’t really paying Apple who pays you for music now was I? The RIAA needs to learn what the word “distinction” means.

7) Blu-Ray v. HD-DVD: Initialy this was just going to be a gigantic headache as the movie standards war of the 1980s (VHS v. Betamax) reared its ugly head once again. With consumers not knowing if Blu-Ray or HD was going to prevail and having to spend $1000-$2000 on a player that could be obsolete in a year, how could this not frighten anyone looking to trade up. Luckily Toshiba came out with a controller chip that will allow players to read both formats.

Paperless Voting Machines: After the 2000 Presidential Elections, it was realized that a better system for counting votes was needed. The answer was The Direct Recording Electronic Voting Machine which provided no paper trail, no reliable way to audit results, and refusal of third party security assessments, The DRE caused people to lose more faith in the electoral system than to have more in it.

9) Ultra-Mobile PCs: Not small enough to fit in your pocket, not large enough to be practical for constant work. Enough Said.

I was just talking to my friend who told me about a horrible story about his DLP television. He has a Samsung 56in DLP television, which he purchased a little over a year ago from Costco. A few days ago his friend went to his house and brought his ps2 over to play. So they plugged it in and was surprised by a loud noise and then the TV turning off. He tried playing around with it for a while but just could not get the TV to turn back on. All he heard was a very weird noise coming from the back of the television. He then decided to look in the manual to find out that there is a warning against plugging in a ps2 into the TV. Apparently the ps2 and the Samsung DLP TV don’t work with each other, and actually breaks the TV when it is plugged in.

He was able to return the TV after the warranty was up (thanks to Costco) and got a plasma instead. This has to be the most ridiculous problem I have ever heard. How would just plugging in a ps2 absolutely render a $2000 TV useless? Good job on that one Samsung.
