Okay, so I’m sure you’ve now heard that Hillary took New Hampshire in the primaries, but did you also hear that much of New Hampshire is using Diebold equipment? Not surprisingly, there have been numerous accusations of fraud - and the discrepancies between exit polls and the final results are giving lots of people flashbacks to the 2000 and 2004 elections. Now, there are far more reports out there than the one I linked to… but I really just wanted to point out that NOTHING HAS CHANGED. We’re still going to be second-guessing all of the electronic results. And my advice to everyone, come November, is to vote absentee. Unless of course you have the pleasure of leaving a hanging chad.
Here’s some truthful ad concepts for Diebold. I suggest printing them and hanging wherever you please.
Comcast may get a swift kick to the crotch from the FCC for throttling torrent traffic. The party who requested an FCC investigation suggests a fine of $195,000 per customer - bringing their total fine to $1.77 trillion dollars. Of course, they will never have to pay that much, but it’s fun to pretend.
Sure, you can get a Mac Mini for about $600 without a monitor, but what’s the most expensive Mac you can order from the Apple store? The answer is a shockingly-high $27,000. Good LORD! It’s not like you could even put 32 GB of RAM to use, anyway.
GM says that cars which can drive themselves could be ready for production in the next decade. I still like my idea of having sleds that you lock your cars wheels into for long trips. You can request a stop at any of the toll booths along the way, but you can freakin’ go to sleep if you want - all while your car zings along, engine off, at 250 mph+. You may want to tape down your windshield wipers, though.
Six ways to watch your favorite shows on the net. I would like to say that both Miro and Joost are not as great as they proclaim. Most of the original stuff on Miro is about 4 minutes long, and most of the stuff on Joost completely blows. That said, some of the other methods mentioned are worthwhile.
Speaking of TV, it’s almost time for LOST to return. By January 31st, you have to think back and recall everything that was going on… although I’m sure they’ll include plenty of flashbacks and re-cap bullshit. Anyway, if you want to be a super nerd about it - you could throw a LOST party. Oh yeah… Echanos? Time to get your ass on ABC.com and catch up. The show’s almost over… may as well get up to speed before the end!
This is totally rad: vegetable orchestra. Makes me hungry, though.
150 old cars seen on the streets of Alameda. I’ve personally seen about 3 of these beauties just riding my bike around on Alameda. Ahh, island living.
