Hulu Plus: Pay Money And Still See Ads! [FAIL]


Hulu decided that everyone was getting frustrated not paying to watch their content, so now they expect $10 a month for "non-premium content" (they're still in bed with network heads)... & you still get shamelessly advertised to throughout your show!
Hulu Plus. Expect it to be next of kin with MSFTs phone... dead in 6 months.

India's New Ultra Cheap Hybrids Rapid Heating Technology

India's Tata Moyors has been in the news recently after the release of their ultra affordable sub $1k hybrids. Apparenty they catch fire at a moments notice, but have required a third party to tip you off since the flaming engine is in the rear.

Moral of the story:

You get what you pay for.

Palm Pre is making Cupertino shudder [iPhone killer]


palm pre, pre, iPhone killer


If you haven't heard, at a recent tech convention PDA maker Palm announced a new device that stunned tech lovers everywhere. Palm has had much bad media recently and the economy looked like it might swallow Palm up after several quarters of reported losses.
Finally, Palm has answered with the Pre. It's a terrible name... obviously all their money was put into the designing process. It's like they looked at an iPhone's touchscreen, a Blackberry's roll ball, and a Tmobile G1's slide-out keyboard and said "let's just make it have everything, except even better!"



So what's so great about the Palm Pre? It may not be the prettiest thing but it's got it all:

3G connectivity
3" touch screen
Slide-out keyboard
Head phone jack
Open Web-based OS
Gesture control
open app store
3 mp camera
...and that's only the beginning. A slick Apple-like user interface and the constant connectivity it provides is amazing, incorporating all your web contacts and info from Facebook, MySpace, instant messanger, and more all into one spot.

Apple is definitely quaking in their boots; Pre will be available on the Sprint network, the second largest wireless provider in the US.

Doomsday Plane Revealed As Nation's Flying Command Post


tags: doomsday plane, air force one, e4 skins, obama air force ones, air force 1, marine one, Mystery 9/11 aircraft, Boeing 747, 9/11, doomsday
A large white unidentified jet that was spotted flying in a no fly zone on September 11th has been brewing suspicion among the conspiracy theory circles across the internet. Over 7 years later, the government has still not released any information regarding the aircraft, but video footage reveals one of the nation's best kept secrets... until now. 
Several shots of the plane give conducive evidence that this plane was a modified boeing 747 with a command center. This command post would serve as an airborne HQ for the government in times of nuclear or biological attack.

Many speculate this plane was an escape jet for the president as soon as the attacks begun, but others say he was at a scheduled photo-op with a classroom of children during and after the attacks. Bush's whereabouts are highly speculated and he is reported to have changed his story after being interviewed about it again...
The plane most likely serves as a flying computer that is the government's last-ditch effort. Chilling footage below, via CNN.

$300 grand for a cellphone? [vertu cobra]

vertu, cobra, iphone, katie verber, mikhail prokhor, jewels, golden iphone
Often popular wireless products like Apple's iPhone or RIM's Blackberry get a sprinkling of diamonds or a plating in pure gold that creates a flagrantly priced device thousands of dollars more than their original price, but callphone maker Vertu has taken the cake with their newest Cobra phone.

With an asking price of a mere $310,000, this bejeweled-snake wielding beauty is a sure hit for rich types that hemorrhage cash every time somebody embeds a diamond in some technology.

Of course, the price is right for Russia's Paris Hilton equivalent Katia Verber who just may decide to upgrade from her current phone Vertu luxury titanium phone that was ONLY 7 grand. The reason she's still waiting to get a Cobra? 
The Vertu ringtone is too annoying, and there is only one ring so everyone knows it's a Vertu.
One would think that $310 grand would warrant an option to customize your phone's sound. Maybe once the R&D dept gets some on the polyphonic wagon Katia can upgrade from titanium to snake-endorned gold jewels.
