Jman Talks About

iSpoof

2010-04-07T11:54:00.000-07:00

Again on another stroll along the inter-tubes. With the new episode of South Park tonight, I went searching for any details. I found this. At first I didn't think about blogging it, but it shows every tech spoof that has been done on the show, AND THEY HAVE DONE A LOT!

Cleverbot is clever

2010-04-06T11:43:00.001-07:00

So I was stumbling around the internet when I came upon a WONDERFUL discovery! Cleverbot is a online program that learns from users. It is very clever and I have had lots of nice chats with it.

The iPad

2010-04-05T11:46:00.000-07:00

The iPad is so stupid, its just a giant iPod touch. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! But that's besides the point. The iPad came out today, and in honor the "Will It Blend?" guys tried to blend an iPad. This is almost as great as Daniel Tosh hitting one with a hammer, or Stephen Colbert using his to make delicious salsa.

Futurama in our Future

2010-03-22T11:45:00.000-07:00

So the hit show Futurama was canceled a few years back (due to Fox's crappy scheduling). Fox then sold the rights to show to Comedy Central, who through reruns has revived its popularity and fan base. This led to a 4 straight to DVD Futurama movie deal. These were very popular and now Comedy Central is bringing new episodes starting in fall of 2010.

Rock, Paper, Glove

2010-03-18T11:54:00.001-07:00

So there is this glove right? And the glove, it plays Rock, Paper, Scissors. Ya it can even LEARN. Yup, you play against it and it learns to play to your weaknesses.

Christopher Nolan on Superman

2010-03-11T11:44:00.000-08:00

Christopher Nolan, the guy who was responsible for the recent Batman reboot, has decided to shift his focus towards the man of steel. That's right, Superman is getting a reboot. Hopefully a better one then Superman Returns in 2006. In addition Nolan announced he is making a third bat-flick.

Tron: Legacy

2010-03-09T11:44:00.000-08:00

Tron: Legacy was rumored last year, and teased at last years Comic-Con. Finally some substantial media has been release. Here is the new (and awesome) trailer. Here are some hi res photos. It looks likes a geek's (that's me) wet dream. Also I am going to Comic-Con this year, so maybe they will show us more then just the 10 seconds they showed last year?

Woah Dinosaurs......

2010-03-08T11:45:00.000-08:00

I was browsing the internet, and I found this little gem. It's only 26 seconds, but its brilliant. I can't wait for the full thing.

Microsoft Does Something Right

2010-03-05T11:42:00.000-08:00

So Microsoft has just updated the Xbox Live code of conduct. Gamers everywhere can now list your relationship status as Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Trans-gender and Straight. Good for Microsoft, this is a huge step forward for them.

Red Letter Media

2010-03-03T11:41:00.000-08:00

Red Letter Media is a recent internet phenomenon. They are big amongst geek culture with their prized character/movie reviewer Plinkett. He reviews Star Wars/Trek movies pointing out EVERYTHING wrong with them. So be warned, he WILL ruin your favorite movie that begins with Star (or Avatar).

On Avatar and the Oscars

2010-03-01T11:37:00.000-08:00

So as you probably know Avatar won the Golden Globe(s) for both Best Directing and Best Drama. This is ridiculous on so many levels. First off its an ANIMATED movie, not a movie with special effects; if a movie is more than 50% special effects its animated, ok? Second it was in no way the best directed film of the year, it shouldn't even have been nominated. It has an obvious and unimaginative story, with no dynamic shots or anything else that would signal good directing. It's strengths lie in its acting and special effects, this definitely earns it best produced movie of the year. As far as Best Drama lemme tell you something, the Golden Globes is supposed to be the international perspective on the movie industry. James Cameron said so himself. Avatar tells a very American story, with very American values/characters. Lets take Inglorious Basterds, it is an amazing movie and a great example of international story telling. It tells a very European love story (via the Nazi, Theater owner, Black guy love triangle) and provides a very exciting and fun American war story (that at the same time satires the genre, and how America thinks of itself in WW2). Also District 9 was essentially an immigration story, that was awesome. District 9 also did special effects better... just saying.

ANYWAY, you might be asking yourself "why is he saying all this?" The answer, The Oscars. The Oscars are coming up and either Avatar or Hurt Locker are going to win best film, and neither deserve it. I can't argue against them winning, since its really all opinion, but I CAN argue over the Golden Globes. So I have run out of stuff to say, so bon nuit, bon nuit to you all.

Cool codeing bro

2010-02-24T11:39:00.000-08:00

So you know Python? Its that semi-new, pretty easy coding language? Well these guys made a version called Like, Python. It accepts all normal python inputs/commands but can also do things like:

yo just print like "hello world" bro

Star-Wars Now

2010-02-23T11:54:00.000-08:00

So I was browsing the series of tubes that is The Internet and found this. It is a gallery of Star Wars inhabitants/vehicles put into the world we live in today. It is odd how desolate and alien our own world looks like.

Epic Beard Guy is Now a Meme

2010-02-17T11:38:00.000-08:00

So the Epic Bear Guy is a new interwebz sensation. It has been declared as a meme (internet joke) by a number of websites, including the very influential Reddit. It even has a KnowYourMeme page. This video is EPIC to say the least, and it is very entertaining. Just remember to bring an ambulance.

Making Your Meals, Literaly

2010-02-16T11:41:00.000-08:00

The Robotic Chef made by a grad student at MIT, assembles food on a sub-molecular level. It uses concentrated flavor to create unique textures and tastes. I know, right?

D&D Surface Fun

2010-02-11T11:42:00.000-08:00

D&D has come a long way over the years. With new technological advancements making the game easier to and more fun to enjoy, this one is the biggest one yet. A group of college students have made a D&D app for the Microsoft Surface, a giant touch sensitive screen. The app creates a map for the players, and stores all the character data and does all the rolls and math for the players and DM's.

Ant Man The Movie

2010-02-10T12:02:00.000-08:00

Stan Lee has announced an Ant Man movie. It going to be directed bye Edgar Wright, the director of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, etc.

Live Action Stars Are Gunna Be In Wars

2010-02-09T11:50:00.000-08:00

So the title might be misleading but what I meant was that George Lucas's live action Star Wars T.V. Series has been confirmed, and details have been leaked. Information like books being canceled because of canon clash, its setting in the SW time line, etc.

PS. It is supposed to be gritty and dark, and supposedly going to be on HBO

Wikileaks is leaking

2010-02-01T14:11:00.000-08:00

Wikileaks needs YOUR help to stay afloat. The site that has reveled the corruption in our banks, the scandals in our governors, and the horrors in The Iraq War has unfortunately sprung a leak. They need money to keep operating this year. Only YOU can help! FREE SPEECH!

Conan can't keep his bity bits

2010-01-26T12:28:00.000-08:00

So Conan O' Brien can't keep any of his "bits." This means he can never again do things like Masturbating Bear or Conando. But he DOES have 30 million dollars now, so it's all good.

eBay Cube sells itself

2010-01-25T11:49:00.000-08:00

So there is this black cube right, and it sells it's self on eBay. Like that's all it does. It's art, because it sells itself.... That's about it. People have to agree to sell it, it's part of the contract that comes with it, and they are allowed to change the price to however much they want. It's currently going for around 2,500 dollars. That's right not euros, not pesos, not pounds, but yes, the cracked line currency everyone loves, good ol' George himself, dollars.

We got another situation on our hands

2010-01-21T11:59:00.000-08:00

So AMC also has a zombie show in the works based off of the hit comic The Walking Dead. It will be directed bye Frank Darabont most famous for Shawshank Redemption. It follows the story of a man named Rick Grimes trying to lead his family through the zombie infested apocalypse. I have a feeling it will be better than MTV's zombie show.

iTrust you :D

2010-01-20T11:50:00.000-08:00

A new app for the iPhone protects your iPhone from people who try to browse your iPhone without your permission. This app, called the iTrust takes a snapshot of your home screen and records where the person tried to push.

Oh we got a situation.... and this time it's not a set of abs

2010-01-19T12:03:00.000-08:00

MTV has decided to make a T.V. show based off of George Romero's (and later re-made by Zach Snyder) Dawn of the Dead. I know right? MTV so crazy. They ruined music. They ruined New Jersey. Now they will ruin zombies. I wonder if they will have Zookie (get it zombie Snookie) and The Zituation (zombie situation... shut up I'm tired)

Google's REVENGE!

2010-01-19T11:36:00.000-08:00

Google is taking their revenge on China. They have decided to take action against the recent attacks that China has inflicted on them. It is a dual revolt against censorship as well. They are revolting bye postponing the launch of 2 new phones in China. Cold Google, cold.

Asylum Productions

2010-01-15T11:35:00.000-08:00

Asylum Productions is a production company that makes nothing but blatant rip offs of other movies. Their movies include things such as Snakes on a Train, Paranormal Entity, and, Transmorphers 1 and 2. I wonder how they don't get sued.....

Mass Effect 2 Voice Cast

2010-01-13T11:33:00.000-08:00

The sequel to Bioware's hit RPG Mass Effect (entitled Mass Effect 2: Fight For The Lost) has an amazing voice cast. Here is a list, along with their most famous work.

Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now)

Seth Green (Creator of Robot Chicken)

Shohreh Aghdashloo (Flash Forward)

Yvonne Strahovski(Chuck)

Adam Baldwin(Firefly)

Keith David(Platoon)

Michael Dorn(Star Trek: The Next Generation... He played Worf)

Tricia Helfer(Battlestar Galactica)

Michael Hogan(Battlestar Galactica)

Carrie-Anne Moss(Matrix)

McWifi

2010-01-12T11:36:00.000-08:00

McDonalds will now be offering free WiFi. I know right, I didn't think they would have Wifi at a place like McDonalds, but apparently they were charging 3 dollars for it before. Guess you learn something new everyday huh. Doesn't seem very practical to have Wifi at a fast food joint.

Who is making money off the iPhone and how?

2009-12-14T11:50:00.001-08:00

It would be counter productive to type it all so here.

Twitterific Year

2009-12-02T11:35:00.000-08:00

Twitter is officially the wordiest word of the year. It is the most used word of 2009 apparently, beating N1H1, Stimulus, and Vampire. To determine what were the most used words they used a program that analyzed how many times each word was used in the media.

The New British Internet Act

2009-12-01T11:42:00.000-08:00

Those Brits are at it again, trying to oppress their people. England is, supposedly, going to implement new laws that will punish people for downloading copyrighted material. If they first catch you then they make your internet provider put a cap on your bandwidth. Second time they catch you its another warning. Third time it's game over, they take away your home internet.

I say we have another revolution.

The Dutch Hate Pirates

2009-11-23T11:45:00.000-08:00

The Pirate Bay is trying to make their image more Dutch friendly. They will stop hosting torrent downloads on their own site. Instead people will have to download straight from other people.

Just like a big brother that destroys your best dolls....

2009-11-19T11:46:00.000-08:00

Fox has canceled Joss Wheadon's show Dollhouse. For those of you who don't know who Joss Wheadon is, he is the greatest man in hollywood ever. He made the amazing series Firefly, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and re-wrote Aliens (which was previously un-shootable). Dollhouse DID have a cult following, but I can see why fox would cancel it. Most Joss fans hope that this cancelation will give him time to start on the sequel to his internet hit, Dr. Horribles Sing-A-Long Blog.

CoD 4.7million: Modern Sales

2009-11-18T11:58:00.000-08:00

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 (CoD 6?) made history by selling 4.6 million copies opening weekend. This isn't only the fastest selling video game, but the biggest entertainment launch ever, EVER! Making 310 million dollars for company Activision (the publisher).

Read it.. er.. I mean Reddit

2009-11-16T14:19:00.000-08:00

Reddit is probably one of the greatest websites ever. Ok maybe not ever but it is still pretty great. Reddit is a site where people think things from around the internet. The things linked are then voted on bye the users so you only see the best of the best on the front page. I have spend a good portion of my life on this site, and I only discovered it a year ago.

Note: They are largely left wing, atheist, cat-lovers, and bacon lovers. Seriously they love bacon.

They are also the nicest people on the web :D

(Btw I am not saying the above mentioned things are bad, I support all that thing (including bacon) but just wanted to make sure everyone knew what they were getting into)

Google Music

2009-11-06T11:34:00.000-08:00

Google has announced that when you search for music new stuff happens. It will now give previews of songs, link you to song websites like Rapsody, and you can now search fragments of song too.

BestRent

2009-11-05T12:45:00.000-08:00

Best Buy will soon start a digital delivery service for Movies, T.V., etc. It seems odd that Best Buy one of the biggest DVD sellers in the world has switched to rental.

Modders now Banned

2009-11-05T12:37:00.000-08:00

People who own a modded Xbox 360 will not be allowed to access Xbox Live services. Modded Xbox's allow people to played hacked/modded games, as well as sometimes cheat. Unfortunately the only way to get back onto Xbox Live is to buy a new Xbox.

The PSP Go doesn't go in Japan

2009-11-02T12:57:00.000-08:00

The PSPGo didn't sell well in Japan. Only 28,275 sold in Japan on the consoles release date. But the (normal) PSP has sold 12,797,180 units in Japan since its release date in 04.

The Good, The Bad, The Google nav

2009-11-02T12:20:00.001-08:00

So I heard that Google navigation has its good and its bad. First the good, it's free, and it has live traffic, over-the-air maps, multiple visual layers, search along routes, etc. Pretty damn impressive. But, unfortunately, the text search sucks because it searches from various sources, which will overlap which is bad.

Farmers

2009-10-30T13:05:00.000-07:00

I just found out something today... FarmVille players out number real farmers by 60 to 1. Kinda sad really, I'm sure if they took all the FarmVille players and had them work on real farms they would be A LOT more productive.

Finnaly a brave democrat

2009-10-01T11:42:00.000-07:00

Democratic House member Grayson (don't know his first name) has showed us democrats CAN be brave (I am a democrat don't worry). He said that essentially the Republicans health care plan is for people to die quickly, the R's demanded an apology so he goes on the ground and says sorry to the 47,000 people who died because they had no health care

Cyborg Ringo, John, Paul, and George

2009-09-30T11:54:00.000-07:00

Thats right Cyborg beetles... not the band, the bugs... sorry if the title is misleading. UC Berkley made remote control robotic beetles and they're awesome. Army of robotic beetles anyone?

Wasteland Psycho

2009-09-22T11:33:00.000-07:00

Alexander Gambotto-Burke has taken up a personal mission. His mission, to kill every single person (npc's) in the very popular game Fallout 3. The game takes place in a post apocalyptic wasteland (set around Washington D.C.) and gives players options between being bad or good. So Alexander decided "why not kill every body in the game (which you can do (except children))." He is doing it for the fun, and to spite those snooty pundets that say video games are "evil"

Star Tours becoming more... better

2009-09-16T11:43:00.000-07:00

Star Tours is getting a revamp. They are adding a pod racer bit, other stuff as well. I really don't know what else they're adding. Probably the opening space battle from episode 3... I wonder if Pee Wee Herman will be doing the HEY JMAN IM HAPPY FOR YOU AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH IN A BIT BUT, HANNAH HAD THE BEST BLOG POST EVER!

Cool New Apple Stuff

2009-09-15T12:00:00.000-07:00

After watching the recently revived Steve Jobs present all the new apple stuff I am pumped. You can now manage your iPhone apps using iTunes on your computer. Speaking of iTunes has ALOT of new features. You can now set up a home network so you can download music off your brother/mother/father's computer. You can also play that music from your computer. Anyway that's all I've got for now, more to come tomorrow.

BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL!

2009-09-14T11:49:00.000-07:00

The He-Man movie is canceled. Matell and Warner Bro. have ended production of the He-Man movie. Matell till owns the rights to a He-Man movie though, so hope is not yet lost, but this is a huge set back. But seriously, would a He-Man movie really be... good?

Digital Marvel

2009-09-10T11:49:00.000-07:00

You can now read Marvel comic on the internet. And it's legal. A good portion of them are free, but you can pay for a subscription if you want even more, it's 5 dollars a month for an annual fee, and 10 dollars a month if you just wanna pay month by month. The interface works really well, allowing you to zoom in to panels and word bubbles. WAY TO GO MARVEL!

FlickTube

2009-09-09T11:40:00.000-07:00

Twitter College

2009-09-08T11:47:00.000-07:00

DePaul university has caught the Twitter bug/bird. They now offer a COLLEGE course on Twittering. I could totally ace that class... so could Shaq... and (unfortunately) Ashton Kutcher... I mean seriously a college course on Twitter...

Walt Marvel

2009-09-03T11:41:00.000-07:00

Disney bought out Marvel... the reaction from most fans is "WTF" and I kinda agree. Unless marvel makes some badass Alice in Wonderland/Snow White/Beauty and the Beast comics. I'd read those.

HELLO WORLD!

2009-09-02T11:51:00.000-07:00

I'm back..... ya.... so ya I'm back.... if anyone cares....... :P

FCC Has The Power

2009-05-28T11:45:00.000-07:00

A new investigation by Wired magazine discovered that the FCC can legally search your home without a warrant if you own a cell phone, wireless router, or just about any wireless device (including garage door openers). This makes me very VERY scared.

GHOST BUSTA'S!!!

2009-05-27T11:43:00.000-07:00

2009-04-14T11:40:00.000-07:00

Star Trek fans in Huston Texas got a nice surprise a couple of weeks ago. A group of fans thought they were going to see the Wraith of Khan but instead got to watch the new Trek movie. Leonord Nemoy explained to the confused viewers that they were watching the new Star Trek movie instead, and proceeded to sit down and watch it with his numerous fans... epic...

Cruel and Unusual Punishment

2009-04-13T11:46:00.001-07:00

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone got a signed picture of Sadam Husane from the U.S. Military. In addition as a punishment Sadam was forced to watch South Park: Bigger, Better, and Un-Cut... you know the one where Sadam "plays patty-cake" with the Devil... You know what I mean...

Geico Goes Viral

2009-04-01T11:51:00.000-07:00

Youtube's new ad campaign with Geico is entertaining to say the least. The whole premise is to spoof many viral YouTube videos (such as Numa Numa, and 1 picture a day for 2 years) using the Geico Gecko. The link for the videos can be found here. So far the Numa Numa video is my favorite, and I hope they make more.

iWallpapers

2009-03-31T11:41:00.000-07:00

Google is now working with various game companies, such as Nintendo and Electronic Arts, to make new wallpapers for iGoogle. The themes change through-out the day and some have included Easter eggs.

Scheduled for release in early summer, the iPhone 3.0 will include copy paste (finally), the feature to purchase app add-ons for third-party apps, blue-tooth stereo for controlling music wirelesly, and the ability to spot-light search through through your iPhone. Cool.

IE 8

2009-03-24T11:52:00.000-07:00

Internet Explorer 8 released today... exciting... I personally prefer FireFox, but hey the new IE looks ok. I mean it has color labels for bookmarks and stuff so you can easily find things. It will show bookmarked pages in a thumbnail picture that drops down. In addition it is supposed to block 2-4 times more pop-ups than other browsers. But still... no plugins... :(

The New Shuffle

2009-03-16T11:41:00.000-07:00

The New iPod Shuffle is really small. Like really small. Like smaller than a AA battery. That is ridiculous... Plus it has no buttons, just a touch sensitive pad thing connected to the headphones which is used to skip to the next song, or pause/play.

YouTube VS The UK

2009-03-12T11:46:00.000-07:00

Youtube is banning thousands of videos from be played in the UK. The reason for this; the UK's performing arts institute demanded a fee of money every time a music video was played, so YouTube was like, pshhhhh! I don't need you filthy UK!!!

Apparently a lot of people watch the Watchmen

2009-03-11T11:49:00.000-07:00

55.7 MILLION$$$... that is how much money the Watchmen made opening weekend. Thats alot. Like alot alot ALOT of money. Not to mention all IMAX showings were sold out... thats just ridiculous... maybe I should make a movie based on a cult classic comic... xkcd movie maybe?

iKindle

2009-03-10T11:48:00.000-07:00

The title is pretty self explanitory unless you've been under a rock for the last 5 years... or if your just plain stupid. But in case you HAVE been living under a rock I will explain. The Kindle (a device made by amazon to let u read e-books) can now be downloaded as a free app on your iPhone.

Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Rock Band

2009-03-09T11:44:00.000-07:00

Today (or maybe yesterday) The Beatles version of Rock Band was officially announced(though many rumors had been spreading around beforehand, so this isn't exactly news). It is said to have an actual story (*GASPS*), showing the rise and fall of the most famous band in friggen history (when you fail does Yoko come on stage?) and have new instrument models based on the ones used by the bowl-cut 4. So now you can play "With a little from your friends" WITH a little help from your friends, get it, get it huh huh...

Safari 4.0 cough betacough

2009-03-02T11:50:00.000-08:00

Apple released the brand-new, faster than ever, SAFARI INTERNET BROWSER! ...well er its still in beta... even in beta though it is still very very good. It does load favorite pages super duper fast (though non-favorite pages seem to take a little longer than usual, but hopefully this will be fixed on the official release). The cover flow is also just plain awesome! It makes everything feel arty and fun and I love it. I only have 1 complain, the refresh button, it took me so long top find it, they moved it from next to the X (stop loading) button and is not on the right side of the address bar. Plus now that I think about it, I hope safari doesn't catch google syndrome and stay in beta for a million years >.>

I will Watch the Watchmen... twice

2009-02-25T11:47:00.000-08:00

Everyone in the internet/comic-geek/anything-that-is-nerdy communities have heard of the Watchmen movie (based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore (the only comic book to be on the New York Times top 100 books list) ). It is scheduled to release March 6 (2009 if ur reading this from the distant future), BUT producers are saying that if it does well enough they will release the directors cut in theaters early July (I have never heard of this happening before, but hey I will go see it twice). Plus the DVD will feature the pirate comic-story (its a comic within the comic).

"Who Watches the Watchmen?" - Watchmen Comice (it is also their poster logo for the movie)

Seth Rogan is hot

2009-02-24T12:00:00.001-08:00

Seth Rogan is on the cover of the newest playboy... thats right play boy, the type u hide under ur bed. Only 8 other males have been on the cover of playboy, including Jerry Seinfeld, Dan Akroyd, and Steve Martin. It seems they have a thing for comedians.

Facebook undo

2009-02-23T11:43:00.000-08:00

Facebook is undoing its recent change to its terms of service. The change sparked controversy from its many users, stating that all status updates, photos, and videos uploaded belong to facebook even after the account is deleted. Now that they have deleted it though, users are much more happy (including me :)

LOOK WHAT I MADE

2009-02-20T12:51:00.000-08:00

I have made a picture showing the Principles of Design (or POD) using Adobe Photoshop CS4. I have made words look different based on what they describe.

Pirates are teh winorz

2009-02-19T11:50:00.000-08:00

The Swedish company that was suing pirate bay dropped their charges. The original charges were accessory to breaking copyright laws, they now have been changed to "Making illegal material available" a much less serious charge.

Pirates are a dieing breed

2009-02-18T11:59:00.001-08:00

The Pirate Bay is being sued. They have been sued a million times before, but this one is big.. like REALLY BIG. The charge is accessory to breaking copyright laws. If they lose they will have to pay 185,000 dollars or 2 years in jail, but if they win... then they win and nothing happens > . >
so ya go download BitTorrent if you already haven't and download everything you possibly can because pirate bay may not be their in the near future.

O noes a satellite!

2009-02-17T11:49:00.000-08:00

The RUSSIANS arrrrh back (yes im a pirate), and with a vengeance. The Russians crashed one of their satellites into one of ours (Stollands pay back from the grave). Now they claim is was an "accident", but I have good reason to believe that it was on purpose (I don't really have any reason, but it adds comedic effect to what otherwise would be a droll report). The 2 satellites have left a whole mess of debris, which is a threat to the space station (the debris might, you know, crash into it). So ya, the russians are going to kill us... maybe... ok not really...

Mac gives Facebook da boot

2009-02-12T11:49:00.000-08:00

Macintosh has banned Facebook from its store computers. Since everyone who comes into mac stores (including me) uses their store computers for personal use, checking my email, playing some games, and (up until now) checking my facebook. I can understand why they band it, they don't want their stores to be packed with people updating their status. But still banning it all together seems a little harsh, maybe just limit the time people can be on facebook instead? Well in the long run it doesn't really matter but I need something to report on... here is a funny picture

Review: Google Earth 5.0

2009-02-10T12:05:00.000-08:00

Today I am going to review the new Google Earth. Like everything with the google brand it is still in beta (gmail has been in beta for 5 years) but is has some insane new features. One of the biggest things is the new ocean google had made. It now shows sunken ship spots water sport events and even migration breeding spots for certain aquatic life. Google also overhauled the graphics the water now moves in a current like real water the mountains look better than ever and the shadows (which can be changed0by changing the time day year) are so ridiculously amazing that I don't know how to end this sentence. Never mind I figured it out. But I digress the last new feature (and a personal favorite) is Mars. Yes Mars, the planet in space we always hear about, you can now tour mars just like you can earth. You spin earth around, zoom in, and see all the places of intrest... places on intrest on mars... hmmm... ok

Myspace- Sex offenders

2009-02-09T12:50:00.000-08:00

90,000 sex offenders were removed from Myspace today, double their goal for the year... Really? they have a goal for how many sex offenders should be removed! They shouldn't even have sex offenders! They should find a way to have them kicked automatically, or something! My little brother has a myspace account! WHAT IF HE WAS SEXUALLY OFFENDED! Probaly not thought he has never used it once (haha you were concernd for a second there weren't ya?). But seriously I am concernd for everyone who uses myspace (even though facebook is better), you should be protected on the internet, not abused or offended (sexualy or other wise).

Gooday
