    I'm looking forward to an army of Zombie-clone dogs.

    Anyway, here's something slightly more likely, but just as catastrophic:
    Judge Orders YouTube to Give All User Histories to Viacom
    Google will have to turn over every record of every video watched by YouTube users, including users' names and IP addresses, to Viacom, which is suing Google for allowing clips of its copyright videos to appear on YouTube, a judge ruled Wednesday.

    Viacom wants the data to prove that infringing material is more popular than user-created videos, which could be used to increase Google's liability if it is found guilty of contributory infringement.

    Viacom filed suit against Google in March 2007, seeking more than $1 billion in damages for allowing users to upload clips of Viacom's copyright material. Google argues that the law provides a safe harbor for online services so long as they comply with copyright takedown requests.
    Watch all the videos you can while it's still possible everyone. Viacom is pretty much determined to obliterate Youtube.

    Don't worry, I haven't told anyone you're gay... so at least that secret is still safe.

    Fat gene identified.

    Doesn't mean much yet, but genetic based health treatment is one direction the industry is looking towards. It addresses the fact that people are genetically different, and that makes them predispositioned to various diseases and side effects of drugs. It's nothing big neither, as it still requires a lot of research, and scientists still have no idea about how to implement it. The idea itself is worth looking into though, and an idea is where it all starts.

    Straight from my Gmail inbox: 1UP: Final Fantasy XIII to be released for Xbox 360. Personally, I don't care much for Final Fantasy, but I figured you'd all love this news.

    Okay, triple posting, but this one's worth it.

    Remember Thomas Beatie?


    Well, he's given the birth, and it's a girl.

    FCC may punish Comcast over web blocking

    But then you force ISPs to do this:

    Comcast to start charging for exceeding limits


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    I think 5-10 GB would be a more reasonable figure. Even if all you do is read news and e-mail, 2 GB is still very little.

    Wtf, I just read this article on MSN called "Can a family eat on $100 a week?", and the intro says this:
    As a test, MSN Money puts a household's food budget on a strict diet. The experiment has its downsides (no more rice, please!) but shows how to take a bite out of grocery bills.
    Millions of people in the world live on rice 3 times daily their entire lives, and these idiots are complaining about having to eat rice a few times for a couple weeks? That's why the average American waistline starts at size 38.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    links please?

    I suppose the preference for rice is like how bread is to Westerns. You were brought up with it, it's your staple food, and you can eat it every day if you want.(and in some cases, whether or not you want) My uncle's like that, and we can't understand how you can get fed up with rice but not bread.

    Rice and noodles are staples for me. Bread is almost always only for breakfast.
