MTV Article: Why You Shouldn’t Hate On Taylor Swift

EntertainmentMedia

28 hours ago

With the Grammys being over it’s been a rather slow pop music week as people still talk about what went down Sunday night. So, I’ve been reading several articles detailing the night’s events…and then I came across this article published on MTV’s website.
The article attempts to back up Taylor Swift’s horrendous live performance on the Grammy night, you know, the one where she sang live alongside legend Stevie Nicks; no, don’t recall? Maybe the sound of a whining horse can conjure up the memories we’ve all now tried to bury.
The writer describes Taylor’s performance as ‘wobbly’ and as an ‘off-performance.’
Wobbles would be a step up from the undulations in pitch Taylor’s voice emitted that night; and off-performance doesn’t account for the multitude of YouTube clips which show that the girl really does have pitch issues singing live. The article goes on to say:

Some of us have been INFECTED Again, with a Virus…





Why ?

These are the words of my blogging buddy Sheila from the Ad Master –

My blog was hacked today.  Somehow someone inserted a huge line of code into my blogs header which caused it to redirect to a bunch of stupid sites.  I wish I could redirect something right back at them that would blow up their damn computers while they’re busy hacking into someone’s private property.  These people make me insane!!!!!   I wasn’t aware of how much I didn’t know about these morons.  I didn’t know that hacker isn’t really an appropriate word for these #$$@^&*(), the appropriate term would be cracker.  Hackers break code for good and crackers break code for evil.   Here’s some info from a great site which helped me better understand the world of a hack or crack or whatever the heck they are. hackingalert.com

Personally I notified several bloggers this week that they’d been infected with this stupid lil click trash. yes it’s a click virus.

SKYPE CUSTOMER SERVICE

EntertainmentMedia

4 days ago



This is one of my rare off the wall subjects, but I just had to let the world know.
You see I have been using Skype for my business for well over a year now and it has been extremely helpful especially when continued business relations with my distributors all over the world is a must.

I originally signed up for the Unlimited World subscription plan which at the time included three phone numbers that I could use along with the subscription. I chose a UK phone number for my partners in the UK, a US number for business relations in America, and finally a Japanese number so that when I was overseas my Japanese customers could still get in touch even if they didn't have Skype.

The 2010 Grammys: Did They Get it Right?

EntertainmentMedia

8 days ago

Well, if you're a young, blond, country superstar who can't sing live, but writes catchy songs, then it's certainly your year. Taylor Swift took home the night's biggest honor with Album of the Year for Fearless. While it is impressive that she wrote every song on the album (a feat she made sure to mention in her speech) and some of the songs have true crossover appeal, it is rather embarrassing that the girl cannot sing live! In one performance last night, she teamed up with legend Stevie Nicks. It's very sad when a 61-year-old woman sings a 20-year-old's original songs and puts them to shame. Nevertheless, I don't think there's been a better year for country music as artists like Taylor and Carrie have blended the line between mainstream and country.

Though Beyoncé's I Am...Sasha Fierce lost out to Taylor's album, she undoubtedly had the biggest night. Taking home a female first of 6 awards (including Song of the Year for 'Single Ladies'), Beyoncé also gave a very powerful performance, albeit a surprise pick with a medley of 'If I Were a Boy' and Alanis Morissette's 'You Oughta Know.' (Britney's Spears anyone?) All in all, I am sure Beyoncé feels proud and is quite happy with this capping off one of her most successful years ever.

Why Apple’s new iPad is NOT worth buying… yet!!

EntertainmentMedia

9 days ago


iPadFor this article I'm using a Skype chat conversation with my girlfriend which we had right after the end of Apple's event held in San Francisco on January 27th. (Context: I'm an iPhone user and she has an iPod Touch, so we are both acquired with the technology before the iPad.)

What is iPad for?

That's a great question! Most of Apple's fan and technology "experts" as well as journalist worldwide are giving tons of opinions about iPad and in sum we can divide the whole into three main groups: those who love it, those who like it but think it could be improved and don't thing they are going to buy one, those who hate it. I can say I belong to none of those groups (but if I had to choose, I would choose the second one).

iPad is "too forward" to be useful today.

I think it's a perfect prototype to a future one: it actually is too limited in some points so that it cannot yet replace notebooks... but we're almost there... at this rate, in 3-5 years notebooks will all be like iPad, maybe even Pcs in few more.

That was my sudden reply to my girlfriend's question. I will try to explain this as we proced in the conversation.

Maybe... but I don't think it will be that great... we already have small notebooks, we don't need any other.

She said so and this was my reply:

Sure... for now!

13″ Notebooks are great in this way: small, lite, slim (look at the MacBook Air, for example): everything you need is out there! (I'm not talking here about netbooks because i hate them, they are just waste of money: you can buy a 13″ notebook for little more!)

and she went:

Yes, but what about touchscreen? Do you really thing they're gonna replace notebooks with iPads? Or even Pcs? They have everything, from operating system to a lot of space storage more!

What I talk about when I talk about iPad

Accessori iPad

Sure... but for now!

As I first said, I think this will be a great device in the future, not now!

But let's take a look at what we have and what we could have in the near future!

If iPad had the right technology you could add unlimited space using an external hard disk connected to it by Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB! One of them now can contain up to 2Tb or even more and is not bigger than an half an A4 paper sheet, so you can easily put it in a drawer... need more? In a drawer you can put 5 or maybe 10 of them! 10x2Tb = 20Tb = 20.000 Gb = unlimited space! In such a space you can store everything, even a library of every book ever written worldwide!

Printers can already be connected to Wi-Fi routers instead of directely to Pcs (see Apple's Passport and Time Capsule!), so even print is not a problem.

DVD... there will be no more DVDs or BlueRay Disk in a near future... I think they will all be replaced by something with an USB like connector, so if you have USB readers you have everything.

If iPad had an OS like Mac OSX instead of iPad OS you could do everything you can on a pc, just like it were a pc itself!

You are worried about touchscreen but it's not a problem at all! iPad can already be attached to a fisic keyboard, so if you want to write anything, you already can without warring about mistouching the screen! And you already can write documents using iWork!

You can add a webcam to it (and hopefully there will already be at this point there will be one in it).

You can use Skype, iChat, emails, surf the web, read books, etc, etc, etc...

Battery life is up to 10 hours, 5 times more than a normal notebook and a little more than a macbook (for which now is up to 7 hours!)

Need something more? ;)

Maybe I missed something and a lot more about you can discover it in the video pubblished by Apple on it's wesite (I'll attach it down here for you)

I truly believe that when iPad will have an Operating System just like a MacBook has, notebook and everything similar to them will be trashed immediatly! Even now there's nothing similar to an iPad!! :)

What do you think about iPad and the future?
