Seeqpod sued by Warner Music Group → blog.wired.com

I can’t come up with a more desparate industry than the music industry right now.  Seeqpod, a brilliant website that attempts to turn the entire internet into your personal jukebox, is being sued by Warner Music Group.  Seeqpod does not allow you to download songs onto your computer, it is just a search engine that allows you to search for songs already floating around on the net and put them in a playlist. 

What should be an amazing promotional tool and opportunity for the dying music industry has just turned into another casualty as the TI’s try to take everyone down with them.  

I love music but I don’t want to buy CDs anymore.  Neither does anybody else from my generation forward.  Why don’t the TIs understand that?

*TI refers to the Tall Israelis that run the music industry along with the rest of the world.

Announcement regarding my nationality

zachklein:

Here’s a heads up that I’m giving America my 12-month notice and effectively I’m a free agent — that’s right, I’m accepting best offers from any nation soliciting new citizens. In exchange for my professional talents, bank account transfer and willingness to serve in your civil peacekeeping missions, I seek 5 acres of land in your most mountainous district, fiber optic access, no taxation on any part-time foreign income, and a snowmobile or really nice kayak (whichever best applies).

I’m taking a trip to interview with Norway, Germany and Switzerland starting March 2nd.

If you’d like to be added to my itinerary, please send a short video explaining your package interspersed with footage of your countryside. Be advised, emails containing only a link to your country’s Wikipedia entry won’t be seriously considered.

 Does it get any more hipster than ditching your country when it’s no longer cool?

The World's Most Powerful Laser → physorg.com

In the words of the University of Michigan team that developed this, it is about equivalent to, “holding a giant magnifying glass in space and focus all the sunlight shining toward Earth onto one grain of sand.”

If I read correctly, the way they do this is similar to Samus charging up her gun in Super Smash Bros.

Flo-Rida feat. T-Pain “Get Low (Emynd’s “Passion” Freestyle Remix) (zShare) → zshare.net

I’m still getting quite sick of this song, but this remix extends it’s shelf life just a little bit.
