I hate reality TV. But when you start screwing with people and their plans and dreams, that starts crossing into a new realm. Ashton Kutcher is producing this turd, which I can't believe went over with the NBC execs. AssholeTV is what i'm gonna call shows like this. I admit, Punk'd made me laugh a few times, and it didn't bother me too much because it was being done to celebs, who after all, are often a little too full of themselves. Plus celebs have something to gain from the exposure, even if its painful.

Apparently the quantum computer claims from a few weeks ago by Canadian company D-Wave have been confirmed by NASA. This is good news since originally the claim was met with skepticism by the academic community, and i'm sure will continue to even though NASA says its true.

The game, not the thing that makes you sneeze or implants alien babies in you. Its the game that we've been hearing about for years now, created by Will Wright, the sim-everything guy.

So the imagination of TV has hit an official low. They don't even pretend anymore that you need to be entertained. Just make a show where you talk about a product, create an audience by giving shit away (the stuff you talk about), and charge advertisers money for the normal ads. Because its under the pretense of a normal show, your typical ads are shown. That would be like watching a Ron Popeil infomercial about a turkey roaster fork, and seeing car ads every 5 minutes. Weird. I'm torn, its a horrible show, but yet, its not a bad idea. Bribe people to watch your show, so you can make money. You know its gonna be bad when a monkey is a primary cast member.

Sigma Creates a new Telephoto lens, but it makes your manhood look small. It took me a minute to notice the camera attached to it.

If robots are going to kill us, should we be attaching them to people permanently? Wont that result in the "my robot arm made me do it" defense in criminal cases? So Dean Kamen, the man who created the segway, which is a device which that makes you fatter, has now created a device capable of choking you. Great news for you amputees, bad news for the people who sleep next to you.

This open letter to universities being attacked by RIAA. Awesome. I really need a middle finger emote.

Lots of blogs are yammering about this, so might as well chime in. Turkey then Thailand. Again with the CanDo! attitude of the politico's. To quote/paraphrase an often over quoted movie. If you build it they will come. And if you block it, people who didn't care before will now be interested and figure out how to get to it anyway. Censorship breeds interest. So, keep on with it guys, we need more angry "thinkers" on the net.

The new "Chair of the House subcommittee on Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property" as well as general fun smasher and great lord of the darkness, has decided that he has had enough! of universities and their blind eye attitude regarding piracy. Now of course, piracy is generally bad, and arguments can be made for all sides, but come on. RIAA really has got to stop buying politicians.
