How to: Kiss Corporate Life Goodbye | Pearsonified

Date October 31st, 2006 Comment No Comments

American blog post, similar to Brycies freelancing post:
Does the idea of a corporate gig give you that warm, fuzzy feeling? Is a raise of 6% per year until you retire to a $20 storebought cake and a Rolex your idea of financial well-being? Did you know that health insurance really isn’t all that expensive? Hey, […]

Strippers leave Prince unimpressed

Date October 27th, 2006 Comment 3 Comments

Most men would jump at the chance to watch scantily-clad beauties dance on stage - but it seems pop star Prince is not impressed.
The pop singer, 48, was in a Hollywood strip club when he offered gyrating dancers double their wages to stop dancing, according to The Sun.
The ladies were strutting their stuff at top […]

Michael J Fox’s love of stem cells

Date October 26th, 2006 Comment No Comments

Poor J Fox looks pretty bad in this, apparently when they where filming Spin City he was fighting it all the time. Its the reason they switched to Charlie Sheen.
The Parkinson’s sufferer sways his head uncontrollably as he urges American voters to back Missouri Democratic Senate candidate CLAIRE McCASKILL.

Babies dont like phones

Date October 24th, 2006 Comment 2 Comments

Mobile phone use does have an impact on male fertility.
Or at least it does if you use your phone for four or more hours a day. Which seems like a lot for a grown-up.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) looked at 364 men. It found both numbers of sperm and quality fell for those […]

It’ll be lonely this Christmas

Date October 23rd, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

Sony are trying their collective arse off to block the importing of PlayStation 3s (PS3) into Europe before its official release. The bastards. To paraphrase Arnie in Total Recall: “Get your ass to Ebay…Get your ass to Ebay…Get your ass to Ebay…(fade out)”

Ford ‘fit to play Indiana’ says…emm…Ford

Date October 23rd, 2006 Comment No Comments

Harrison Ford has recently stated that he could “bring the same physical action” if George ‘beginning to look like Chewbacca’ Lucas and Steven Speilberg ever get off their arses and make the forth Indiana Jones film. Fair fucks to him, I believe it. I recently seen ‘Firewall’, his latest film, and while it was shit, Harrison […]

Doesn’t sound sweet to everyone

Date October 23rd, 2006 Comment No Comments

Microsoft’s forthcoming digital music player, dubbed Zune, may make some Hebrew speakers gasp. The name for the device — which will take on the Apple iPod when released later this year — sounds like a vulgarity, specifically the “f” word, in Hebrew.

Say ‘Halo’ to my Leetle Friend ahahaha I’m class no wait ‘Halo’ is it me your looking for? ahaha that’s even better

Date October 20th, 2006 Comment 2 Comments

I’ve never played Halo, or owned an X-Box, so the hype surrounding the upcoming movie apdaptation completely passes me by. In fact, it sounds like a big old overblown and overcooked mess, but not in a cool way like, say, Dune. More like that snausage Jordan par-boiled on the beach in Portstewart.
But news that 20th […]

Pop comes full circle

Date October 16th, 2006 Comment 2 Comments

Im not the biggest fan of pop. But a good tune is a good tune.
I didnt like Lily Allen, until I saw her on Johnathan Ross singing with just a guitar.
It was nice work.
That just leads me to this, did everyone else in the world know she is Keith Allens Daughter?

A chat with Bono

Date October 16th, 2006 Comment 2 Comments

Bono gave me a good laugh this morning, you see this weekend brought the iPod (red) which was so obviously going to happen that there was no need for a product launch. Steve jobs love his lucky little leprechaun.
I knew the basics of the (red) project, and I also knew how Bono loves his Africa. […]

Gibson - What fun!

Date October 13th, 2006 Comment 1 Comment

With this morning’s airing of the GMA interview in which Mel Gibson explained to Diane Sawyer how his addiction to devil’s nectar renders him utterly defenseless to the basest impulses of his dark subconscious (except where his personal mugshot grooming regimen is concerned), focus returns once again to the world’s most famous sugartit-leery, Jewish-warmongering whistleblower.

Does YouTube Make Google a Copyright-Infringement Target?

Date October 13th, 2006 Comment No Comments

Does Google’s $1.65 billion acquisition of YouTube create a big, deep-pocketed target for aggrieved copyright owners? While much of YouTube’s content is home-shot video, the site also contains copyrighted material that users upload without permission, and some legal commentators say Google could be exposing itself to copyright liability. YouTube, for its part, says it removes […]
