The iPhone v. LG's KE-850: You Decide!

Steve Ballmer Has Something To Say About The iPhone

Typical M$ response to the iPhone...

I love the response from Peter Mortensen....

You know whose opinion of the iPhone I never needed to get? Steve Ballmer's, that's who. Even more than Bill Gates, Ballmer's always represented just how little Microsoft understands what anyone but middle managers and IT professionals need and want. He proves it here.

And is there anything more annoying than one billionaire complaining about the "high," $500 price tag of a competitor's product? I really don't think so. Especially since it looks like Vista Ultimate edition will run a tidy $449 itself. I'll say this: If people don't need a $500 three-in-one awesomeness device, they really don't need to drop almost as much on an operating system.

Canadian coins bugged?
Doran says: "Small transmitters have been found in Canadian coins carried by at least three U.S. contractors who have visited Canada. The existence of the coins was revealed in a report from the U.S. Defense Security Service entitled 'Technology Collection Trends in the U.S. Defense Industry.' (I found this from Slashdot)"
"On at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006, cleared defence contractors' employees travelling through Canada have discovered radio frequency transmitters embedded in Canadian coins placed on their persons," the report says.

North Korea To Eat Giant Rabbits

"In 2000 the Finnish demoscene musician Janne Suni (also known as 'Tempest') won the Oldskool Music Competition at the Assembly demoparty with his four-channel Amiga .MOD entitled 'Acid Jazzed Evening.' A Commodore 64 musician called 'grg' remade the song on the C64 (using the infamous SID soundchip); it is this that was stolen. The producer's name is Timbaland and he is one of the hottest names in American music these days. The track in question is called 'Do it' and it is featured on the Nelly Furtado album 'Loose' on the Geffen label. Getting nowhere with Geffen, the demoscene has now risen to the aid of Tempest, first by creating a stir at SomethingAwful (files downloadable from the forum), then at Digg.com, then on YouTube, with a video demonstrating the blatant ripoff. Being an online-posting musician myself — what rights do I have if this should ever happen to me, and what can be done to raise awareness about such things?"

Lil Wayne Beaten Up By His Ghostwriter

Lil' Wayne got some people heated recently. First, Gillie Da Kid claimed he wrote Weezy's rhymes. Later, pictures of him kissing Baby in the mouth resurfaced. Then, he dissed Jay-Z and The Clipse. Controvercy seemed to follow Wayne. Now, it seems the pattern continues. Only this, things may have gotten more dangerous.

According to a statement, released through Gillie Da Kid's people, Wayne was recently involved in a physical altercation with one of the members of his entourage.

As everyone is aware, there have recently been a few issues lying in the Cash Money camp...Cash Money's own Lil Wayne became involved in a heated argument with a fellow entourage member, it all ended with the argument coming to blows and Lil Wayne receiving a broken jaw in the mêlée.

The statement ends with a word from Gillie's people...

As Gillie Da Kid said maybe Wayne needs to analyze his substance abuse problem, and slow his role.
Who knows how true all of this is and whether or not its a false claim just to start more controversy, we'll se where this goes.

I Got to Go Pottie

Why Are You Standing In Front of My Home?

Melanie Brown, or Mel B as she's known to her fans, is under 24-hour police guard after suffering abuse from aggressive Eddie Murphy fans. The former Spice Girl - who is seven months pregnant with what she claims to be the actor's child - has been barraged daily with insults from obsessive fans, who have set up a hate camp outside her Los Angeles home. Mel - who was recently dumped by the 'Dr. Dolittle' star during an interview on Dutch TV - feels so intimidated, she is planning to move out of the house which she shares with her seven-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi. A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Her life is being made intolerable by Eddie's fans. They shout insults and give her abuse all the time. The police have decided to place an officer outside to keep an eye on things." Since their bitter break-up, Eddie has demanded a paternity test to prove he really is the father of the singer's unborn child. Mel was recently reported to be planning to announce the DNA test results on live television to take revenge on the 'Beverly Hills Cop' actor.

Legendary Drunk

It seems our golden boy, John Legend left his ivy league influenced, choreographed mannerisms at home last week when performing in London at the Brixton Academy. According to attendees and local British tabloids, Johnny boy got soo drunk that the promoters thought his brother should perform as the headliner instead of he. If you've seen John in concert lately, his brother is the chubby lil thing singing background. Once the audience realized that it wasn't John who was performing they booed. And rightfully so. "He grabbed the mike from his brother and told the crowd to 'fu** off'. Then he laid into them, saying they should show respect," said one witness. Now see... this is where a bitch gets too big for his own britches. (And if you've seen any of his photo spreads lately then you know that they were already hella tight.) Apparently the banter between John and the crowd escalated to the point to where security had to pull him off stage and eject him from the club.

Wesley Snipes Arrested

Wesley Snipes was arrested this morning upon arriving in orlando Florida, he was taken into custody while leaving a plane. It was said he worked out a deal with government officals, but apparent not. This all stems from his tax fraud case first reported in october of this year.

Actor Wesley Snipes, whose once-hot career has been undermined by personal and financial problems, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Florida on charges of attempting to bilk the federal government out of almost $12 million by filing false tax refund claims.

The eight-count indictment handed up in U.S. District Court in Tampa also alleges that the star has not filed a return since 1999. Snipes, 42, could face as many as 16 years in prison.
