So, when exactly are the aliens going to land. Seriously. Have you ever heard of Phil Schneider? Just in case the answer is no, I am going to embed a Youtube video with this post. Phil said some crazy stuff. We are currently at war with the aliens, and up to nine different civilizations of them. They have a base under New Mexico. They have a base on the moon. One of them waved his hand,

Rumors are flying, although I haven't seen much on the net (yet). Apparently, there is going to be ANOTHER housing crash. I'm really not sure why few have picked up on this one yet - ok, ok, the extent of my looking for info was a Digg search. If it is not on Digg, no one knows about it.There is another questionable mortgage product, like the ARM's that caused the first bubble crash, that is

So, I fired up the old PC this morning, and attempted to open Google Chrome. Oh, Snap. Adobe Flash crashed. And, Lo and Behold, Vista began another forced Microsoft update. Ok, then. Another Microsoft update that royally screws up other companies software. And it just happens to be Google. The Flash plug-in still works perfectly with Firefox, and I'll bet it works great with IE, too. (

iTunes sucks. Flat out crappy software. iPods, on the other hand, are great pieces of hardware. But iTunes id so bad, that there is an entire community of people desperate for options.

Mr. Buffett is now the president's transitional economic advisor, alongside a series of economic superstars. Not sure he needs all the help - just being a democrat is enough to fix the economy, according to history - but it's nice to have all those brains working on the problem. Something needs to happen fast, but that should not lead to the massive handouts some of the business community (read

It is the grand national celebration of capitalism, that leads to the celebration of the birth of Jesus. I won't wax too poetic about absurd this annual ritual truly is, however I will say that it is a great day to show Bush and his genius cronies what a wonderful job they have done with the national pocketbook.Examples: Lady in line at Best Buy this morning - "I'm not going to buy anything,

This is a bit off-topic, but I really don't care. How can some people go around in life with no idea what the hell is going on around them?

President-Elect Obama.Sounds ok. I sort of like it. Here comes the real challenge. Americans took a major chance. I'm an Obama fan, so I feel like I have the right to say this.#1 - This election came down to the voter's risk tolerance profile. Obama was a major risk, but he also offered a major reward.

Tina Fey is f*cking hilarious. Seriously. The original SNL crew was great, and the crew from about 1987 until 1997 or so was very funny, but since it has been generally underwhelming. Even those of you who watch religiously got to admit that you'd rather watch Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, and John Belushi or Mike Myers, Chris Farley, and David Spade then the crew right now. Other than Tina Fey.

The United States of America can spend billions on a country full of people who hate us and don't want us there, and yet we cannot spend a couple months of money for Bush's windmill hunt on our own banks in our country? Are the banks at fault? Sure. But forget about who to blame for a couple minutes. Let's save the American economy first. If people broke the

This has got to be the most disappointing election in my lifetime. And it is still months away.I remember a couple of years ago, thinking "Gosh, a Clinton-McCain election would be the best possible thing - I could live with either winner!" Well, the demise of Hillary took care of half of that (more on Obama in a second) and McCain is now trumpeting the Bush line, like the last 8 years have been

www.technewsworld.comThe report this morning about Google Media Server makes Google look like the young company they are: aggressive, scatterbrained, and unaware of the past. Which in this case will probably be good for the consumer, and (as usual) Google.Who remembers WebTV? That would be the company that tried "console surfing" (my words not theirs) and was later absorbed by Microsoft. I

I was just playing with an iTouch...Quick thoughts:Light, easy to carry, durable - physically a good deviceCool interface - the GUI works as advertised, at least in terms of functionalityWhen is Apple going to work the bugs out of a device before it is released to the public - or at least get the idiotic copyright crap worked out. i.e. I may want to watch videos on a service other than YouTube

I know, I know. Some of you out there erroneously believe that placing ads on a blog is the equivalent of selling your opinions to the almighty Google. Not so. And even if it was, is it possible to support a better company.

Hi - you are one of six people who will read this.
