Couple of hiccups this afternoon down here in Dallas but hey they werent our fault for once! Pretty annoying that of course the moment you get some great redundancy on servers etc an entire block of machines lose connection. Guess it's time we start running a duplicate of the site outside of Dallas. Still boggles me that my tiny little website has come so far that things like that are even a consideration. What the hell is going on.

Napster shows new web interface
Palm trying to remain relevenat
Try not to eat your iPhone
YouTube filtering hot?
MySpace + Skype

Lastly, so exciting.. custom news casts! Ok not really.

    Do they have an excellent matchmaking system where they search out other people wanting a fuck with similarly attractive bodies and similar interests? I'd buy those!

  Is there a legendary setting? I don't want to be called a pussy if I complain about it not picking up crumbs and dust on the normal setting.

  that's not a tie-in. It's a vacuum with the same name, but that's it, right? Or am I missing something :p

  Well if anything the display of the different people, the dog, and the baby reminded of those old 3d video arcade games for some reason...
