“Look at the stars, look how they shine for you, and all the things you do”
Saw this story earlier this morning and it had me in complete hysterics.
SYDNEY, Australia - A 22-year-old man attempted to drive 310 miles in reverse on a remote Outback highway after his transmission failed, blocking his forward gears, police said Friday. The man was stopped by Western Australia state police on Thursday afternoon after they spotted his car roaring in reverse down the highway at about 40 mph, according to a statement.
It’s a step change in television technology which provides far clearer and more detailed pictures than normal "standard definition" TV. The benefits are especially suited to larger LCD and plasma display screens. Basically HD is transmitted digitally. Each step in the transmission chain must be high definition to produce the end result on your screen. So you will need a HD decoder box to decode the incoming signals, as well as a HD Ready TV in the first place so you can actually see the pictures. Sounds simple right? Well there’s a lot more to it then the above, and it can get very confusing. Riyad at Trusted Reviews has a brilliant round up of exactly what to expect from this upcoming HD era.
There has been a lot of talk going around about the web about the new Apple store that recently opened up in New York, and now I can see why. What a stunning piece of work! The store is located on Fifth Avenue, and will be supplying Apple products 24/7. You can see photo’s of the opening at gothamist.com.
Utter brilliance! Ok, so its partially funny and unfunny!
"A woman has been charged in the United States after allegedly helping her daughter make biscuits for a teacher that were spiked with laxatives. The teacher had reportedly given the girl low marks.
However the alleged prank backfired when the teacher did not eat the biscuits but shared them among her class. Four children became ill."
So, my good mates on #id on Quakenet who I have known for like 7 long years have finally lost their nerves…they’ve all (almost) signed upto myspace.com !
For those who don’t know, it’s the worlds largest meeting place where you can put up a profile of yourself, and meet other people. A lot of small upcoming bands tend to use this as a place to promote their music, which does work very well. However it’s also become a place where most users profiles consist of nothing but multiple poor pop videos, massive amounts of animated images, and enough multi-colored text to give even the most robust web browser a headache. It’s also a place where fit girls can flaunt themselves and er yes that bit is rather nice 
Still got the sniffles and I’m sneezing all over the place at the moment. Since I’m retired to my bed, I’ve got my laptop and my 360 which I can play thanks to it’s wireless controllers so I’m not bored. Anyway, I’ve somehow become addicted to Google Video! I’ve spent hours finding funny vids on this, what a great, well implemented feature!
Those pesky people in Oz finally have access to the lovely 360 which should keep their living room nice and warm for months to come! www.my360.com.au has the full lowdown on the launch which should have been huge given the console’s success in America and Europe…
Aussie gal Kitteh, from deconstruct.me.uk has also obtained one! She also has Elder Scrolls: Oblivion much to my annoyance because I wants it too! My own, my preciooussss! So thats roughly 14 friends of mine who have bought the console…Paul from Surly Pidgeon remains, and lets face it he hardly plays pc games anymore so he’ll convert soon enough!
