It was nice to see Google talk open up to everyone outside the gmail account holders. Some features won’t be available for people without G-Talk like chat histories and mail notifications, but everything else seems to be game.
AT&T being one of the first to take steps to bringing it back home. Let’s see if others will follow suit after hearing the applause from AT&T customers.
AT&T will be returning approximately 2,000 call center jobs to the US, as the company has decided to shutter an Indian call center that handles tech support calls for the telecom’s broadband service. AT&T cited cost as the primary reason for bringing the jobs back to the US, saying that an agreement with the Communications Workers of America on salary and benefits make having the call center employees on its staff feasible.
Does this hold truth? You be the judge!
Bush turning this country into a dictatorship? Or were the wheels already turning?
Leo Leporte, king of all podcasters 
, is proposing podcasters (or should I say, netcasters) to start using the term Netcast. In recent light of Apple’s trademark claims, I agree completely with Leo’s idea of taking things into our own hands. An internet broadcast defined as a Netcast.
Besides, it better describes what the hell a podcast is anyway.
Truth is, I’ve never liked the word podcast. It causes confusion. In the past couple of days two people have told me that they can’t listen to my shows because they “don’t own an iPod.” I have to explain constantly that podcasts can be listened to on computers, phones, MP3 players, and CDs, as well as iPods, but because of the name the confusion persists. And now Apple is threatening people who use the word.
WTF is this Bullshit?
Duane Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter) was arrested last week by U.S. marshals in relation to his 2003 capture of a rapist in Mexico.
Problem with that is, bounty hunting is illegal in Mexico (Funny). U.S. marshals, so far, claim that there’s no relation to the scum bag being transferred into custody last week from Mexico. That it was just some bizarre coincidence that it just happened 2 days before Dog was arrested. lol, yah, right, assholes.
Chapman, who is out on $300,000 bail, said on yesterday’s “Today” show that if he goes to prison in Mexico, he will be killed by inmates avenging the thousands of fleeing felons he’s brought to justice.
“I won’t last two days,” he said.
Nice to see the american government continuing to fight for whats right and fair.
I LMAO when I watched this video! Hilarious!
A special guest on this show brings reptiles. While talking about a particular snake, a lizard jumps off the table in front of them onto the host’s jacket. He looks down and practically soils himself and falls over. He then gets back up and calmly asks the animal guy to kindly take the lizard off of him. LOL
An amazing find!
In September 2000, a Komatsu dozer pulled out an abandoned tank from the bottom of a lake near Johvi, Estonia. Soviet T34/76A tank that had been sitting for 56 years. And the pictures prove that it’s in AMAZING condition after all those years in the water.
At that time, a local boy walking by the lake Kurtna Matasjarv noticed tank tracks leading into the lake, but not coming out anywhere. For two months he saw air bubbles emerging from the lake. This gave him reason to believe that there must be an armoured vehicle at the lake’s bottom. A few years ago, he told the story to the leader of the local war history club “Otsing”. Together with other club members, Mr Igor Shedunov initiated diving expeditions to the bottom of the lake about a year ago. At the depth of 7 metres they discovered the tank resting under a 3-metre layer of peat.
The latest news about the tank:
Have successfully started the diesel engine not replacing any spare part.
Have replaced only bearings on skating rolls.
Assembly of the tank will soon come to the end and it will be ready to trial runs.
It is planned in the following season to carry on tourists and to show it as a working exhibit of our museum.
Wow, It started up!? You can see the video of it starting up and more details here.
Ok, if you haven’t heard yet, Firefox 1.5.0.7 has been released with some small updates (even some memory corruption issues) along with Thunderbird. I would recommend you go ahead and do that if it hasn’t already.
Also, Apple had an announcement this week about thier new line of iPods and a whole new iTunes 7. There’s been some reports about iTunes 7.0 being a bit buggy with some wierd issues, but I’m sure they’ll get on top of that soon. Some new features include a new viewing option for all your current / purchased music that shows album art (cool new interface with some 3d animation – NICE). And they also sell movies now on iTunes. It’s all good.
One of the better pdf readers out there has just released 2.0! Why am I so crazy about this software? Simple, it loads fast and easy.
This video was released yesterday from a couple who had video taped the event. They have released the video for the first time.
