Digital Media is Sturdier Than You Think

Filed under: — dan @ 10:37 pm

Though certain brands may have certain issues with certain devices, it seems they can survive going through the washing machine. :) Although surprising, remember that these cards don’t have any moving parts, so as long as data was written, it’ll still be there unless the data is physically broken in that particular area.—-
The memory cards in most cameras are virtually indestructible, found Digital Camera Shopper magazine.

Five memory card formats survived being boiled, trampled, washed and dunked in coffee or cola.

The Player Reality Show Premiers August 3 on UPN

Filed under: — dan @ 5:15 pm

Gee, who wouldn’t wanna watch a bunch of himbos trying to impress a Latino model? What is it, don’t hate the playa, hate the game? That’s what they’re gonna use when they get tossed out? That catchphrase is sooo played out, this ain’t 1999, ya know.

The Player, described by UPN as “sexy” and “funny,” is an eight-week one-hour series set a palatial Miami mansion that follows a group of 13 self-described “players” in their quest to win the heart (or, at least, be the final selection) of a Miami model named Dawn … assisted by her two girlfriends. The show will premiere Tuesday, August 3, 9-10PM ET/PT.

Losers will get tossed from the game with the probably-soon-to-be-trademarked cliche, “Don’t hate the player, hate the game” (in the style of The Apprentice).

New Batmobile… WTF?

Filed under: — dan @ 2:54 pm

Uhh, if this is the new Batmobile, what’s that say about the movie? Looks like some space lunar mobile with ski racks up top. It sure ain’t no classic like General Lee or K.I.T.T.!

Naked Woman on Tee Gets Couple Kicked Off Plane

Filed under: — dan @ 2:42 pm

I guess some people are just too stubborn to listen. I’d protest, up until the point where they threaten to kick me off the plane, at least… Missing your flight because you refuse to turn your shirt inside out, though, well that’s pretty extreme…

Saudis Blast Moore over F911

Filed under: — dan @ 2:37 pm

Hey, if they controlled the US so much, wouldn’t you think they woulda been able to get a screener, oh, maybe a month ago when the film first came out? Took em long enough to respond.

‘It would have been far better if Michael Moore had been able to read the 9/11 report before he made his film. It shows that all the protocols were strictly observed.’ Because Moore had not thoroughly researched the allegations levelled against Saudi Arabia, Prince Turki said that Fahrenheit 9/11 is ‘grossly unfair’ to the Saudis.
