I told you.
No one listens to me.
Gizmodo reports on the first successful hack to by-pass the bricking of the iPhone as a result of Apple’s firmware update. More hacks will undoubtedly follow. This one only took 3 days to come out.
Let’s count how many days it takes for Steve Jobs to publicly state […]

I found the link to this video over on Ted’s blog and laughed my ass off. It originates from the folks at Loaded. Ready. Run. Enjoy.

Unfortunately it’s a pretty accurate prediction of our future.
Silly monkeys.
Cheers.

As reported by Cory Doctorow in BoingBoing the new AT&T terms of Service agreement contains some rather nasty infringements on free speech:

From now on, AT&T can terminate your connection for conduct that “tends to damage the name or reputation of AT&T, or its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries.” So AT&T customers aren’t allowed to write/podcast/vlog critical […]

I’ve ranted before about the virtue of user hacks, specifically with respect to freeing the iPhone.
This, from Robots Rule, is just fuckin’ bugnuts freaky:

I know Kevin Clash, who performs the real Elmo and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Mark Tilden, back when his robotic projects looked more like a handful of paperclips jammed together […]

Hey, the sun came out so I’m still sitting here in the backyard. Wheeee!
I found this and thought to myself: Damn! I gotta try this with Henry!

Fortunately, my wife Karen is a damned sight more lucid than I shall ever be, so Henry is safe for the time being. But someday […]

I had a lame week, trying to write and trying to keep sane through the pain, so I haven’t really posted enough to warrant a true Round-Up Day for you.
So instead here’s a bunch of links of stuff. Go read ‘em.

• Verizon /NARAL - Susan Crawford reports on how Verizon restricted the text-messaging […]

I found this on 5 Minute Life Videopedia. The Truth Behind Commercial Telelvision is one of the better, most concise, descriptions of commerical television I’ve seen. And it’s got some great old Fleischer Bros. cartoons in it too.

I’ve worked in television for over 25 years. Back in the early ’80’s I was […]

I’ve toyed with a few things here and there with ads for this website. It’s been a nonchalont and easy-going effort to “monetize” these pages and I can proudly say that thus far I have earned exactly sweet fuck all.
The nice thing about this situation is: I don’t really care.

And this picture has […]

Wired’s Threat Level blog has a post today that while it’s no surprise it’s just another one of those big ass bogus shit tard things that slowly and inevitably grinds away at the the thin veneer of civility I am managing to retain between me and mobsters running America.
The Bush Administration is pushing Congress hard […]

Threedie’s got the new Halo 3 game.

There’s more Threedie Ceegie coming!
Here’s the link to the other Threedie video. I’m going to try and do them on a more regular basis.
Cheers.

In Bush’s bill which redefines the rights of detainees, the slimey bastards slipped in a provision that would pardon Bush and his entire administration. He’s trying to pardon himself.
And get this - he’s trying to pardon himself and his whole gang of scurrilous thieves all the way back to Sept. 11, 2001.
One word: […]

As a result of the MediaDefender hack, the folks at Pirate Bay have filed charges against a slew of major media companies who used MediaDefender to assault their servers:
Thanks to the email-leakage from MediaDefender-Defenders we now have proof of the things we’ve been suspecting for a long time; the big record and movie labels are […]

Here’s another comix movie with Threedie Ceegie.
Enjoy.

You can also find this video on MetaCafe.

Hey there! Hi there! Ho there!
I know, I know it only seems like a few days ago we had Round-Up Day and you know what? We did!
But I’m trying to get back on track with having a regular Friday collection of links to my past posts you may have missed or want […]
