| Not soon after the 9/11 tragedy, the "tourist guy" photo started appearing in our e-mailboxes. After the quick initial debunking of the urban legend, the man some call "Waldo" became a new subject of the traditional "all your base" phenomenon. Several people have laid claim to being the subject of the lastest Internet fad, but now the real person has been found ... or so they say. Well, it could be worse. to Rumor by onigame |
| Narco Corrido is a controversial combination of gangsta rap and Mexican border music that sings the praises of guerillas and drug lords.

| In a prime example of reality following comedy, the first Hack Furby challenge has been won, a second one has been issued, and the kit is available for purchase now. Think you got what it takes to port a Java Virtual Machine to a Furby-based micro-architecture?

| I never thought that schizoaffective
disorder would sound like a police
scanner. It is hard to simulate
on a computer; Words can express
a whole lot more. The sound files don't contain the beliefs
behind those voices. The excellent
site I found the sound files from is a good place to start. Not only
is it informative
but the guy who created it has a great
sense of humor
about life as well.

| As of today, all three trailers for the breathlessly awaited Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones are available for download. Unfortunately Breathing requires that you register to receive electronic junk mail, Mystery requires that you purchase the Phantom Menace DVD ($30), and the large version of Forbidden Love requires that you purchase the full version of QuickTime Pro ($30). Fans who feel that their affection for the series is being exploited to rip them off are simply circumventing the official system and downloading the trailers from the Gnutella file sharing network (usually with free clients like Bearshare for Windows or Mactella for the Macintosh). Gnutella's legality is dubious (and downloading the unlock codes for QuickTime Pro is without question illegal), but it's quicker, easier and cheaper to use than the official Star Wars website, and it sends the Lucasfilm empire a message of... well, rebellion. to Movies by cricket |

| Not
everyone considers hearing
voices a bad thing. Alot of people
have a bad experience
with it though. If the voices were real
and from holy
beings wouldn't that really screw your pharmacist?
