Links For 6-20-2008

Quentin Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTARDS to be two movies. Didn't having the movie cut in half and released separately actually hurt KILL BILL's box office? I can't remember.

Reality TV hits a new low: New G4 reality show 'HURL!' has America woofing-up its vittles. Remember when they were the video game channel?

These Myspace spam requests aren’t even trying anymore. I click the "report spam" (phoney profiles) and "deny" (shitty bands and DJs I've never heard of) buttons far more than I ever click "approve".

Now Gene Simmons is blaming Radiohead for killing the recording industry. I guess he's pissed that they figured out a way to make money off of the internet and he hasn't. Sour grapes.

Average teenager's iPod has 800 illegal music tracks. I wonder how many of those "illegal" tracks were ripped from CDs that the iPod owner owned.

Now let's pause for what is possibly my favorite picture of 2008...


Retail chains ask congress to regulate online auction sites. Is there any non-tech industry out there that doesn't hate the internet in some way?

Firefox 3: Use the XP Theme on Vista or vice versa. Useful info even if the article headline title is spelled incorrectly on that site.

EA on review scores: 'WAAAAAAAAAAH!'. Most people aren't overly fond of EA. I tend to view them as a corporate giant of mediocrity, swallowing up smaller, better companies and making them more bland.

DIY Wiretapping: The ultimate guide (and how to fight back). Wiretapping me would be an exercise in boredom.

Torrent Relay - the website that functions as a BitTorrent client. Sounds like something that will get shut down quickly and get everybody who used it sued or a trap.
