Blog Notes: Where Does The Time Go?

There is a time thief eating my allotted days!

There will be no more blogging today.

No blogging tomorrow.

Probably no blogging Thursday.

I’ll be back Friday.

As usual, all this can change… and probably will, as soon as I hit the Publish button.

iPhone: A Recluse In The Orgy Age

iPhone’s missing killer app: social networking

The new generation doesn’t use the phone. They don’t call somebody to discuss a document. They just change the wiki entry and they know any subscribers to changes will be notified. They chat. They update their emo trackers with mood and location like “wd market, nw” [walking down market, nice weather]; and so forth.

Yeah, they got youtube. But only because Google had bought them. And you can’t post to youtube from the iPhone. Even if you could post, you can’t actually make a video with the iPhone.

You can’t even leave a friggin comment on the youtube service.

Oh Boo Hoo Hoo For Fucking Fox Network

‘24′ Uploader Facing Prison After Admitting Causing Fox $4m Losses

A Chicago man accused of causing Fox $4m in losses after uploading episodes of the hit show ‘24′ to a YouTube style video hosting site, has pleaded guilty and now faces the prospect of 3 years in jail.

How did they calculate that? And what kind of attorney does the defendant have that such a claim could ever be taken seriously in a court of law?

Hey, Fox, I haven’t watched 24 for three years now. Why don’t you sue me for costing you money? After all, since I didn’t watch, think of how many product ads I never saw and how you had to adjust your billable CPM downward!

What a goddammed disgrace.

Quote Of The Day: Fake Steve Jobs

Straight dope from Fake Steve Jobs

I’m like, lady, I’m f—–g Steve Jobs, and she says, “Sir, I don’t care who you’re f—–g, you can’t just call up and get our CEO.”
