When will these guys get it through their heads? It doesn’t matter how much it costs, as long as people feel they’re getting their monies worth.

Music and Internet worlds merged on San Francisco’s posh Nob Hill as insiders brainstormed about industry rocking Web 2.0 trends from social networking to smart phones with cameras.

Internet technologies will transform a music industry in which recording studio revenues have tumbled along with CD sales, according to those gathered for an elite Bandwidth Conference.

Take the electric blanket for instance. No matter how much you spend, you’ll probably be happy if it keeps you warm and you feel like you got value from the purchase. Wake up people.

Do you remember the days when the most trouble you had with girls was at Daytona beach hotels during spring break? Now they’re trouble even when you’re in the computer lab too.

How did you find this story? Did you find it after Googling the name Jessica Biel? If so, it may be too late. Jessica Biel is the Internet’s most dangerous celebrity, and if she has her way, she will destroy your computer.

McAfee on Tuesday released its third annual “Riskiest Celebrities to Search on the Web” and Biel topped the list, beating out Brad Pitt, who came in first last year.

Who knows, it might not be too late.

Black Internet, the ISP that on Monday turned off the access to file-sharing site The Pirate Bay, says it has become the victim of sabotage. The damage is substantial, according to CEO Victor Möller.

Customers that get their Internet access from Black Internet were experiencing outages on Tuesday morning. The reason was sabotage against its infrastructure, according to the ISP.

Instead of spending their days attacking Balck Internet, these hacker types should be searching for the
best acne treatment so they could venture out of the basement once in a while. It always amazes me how the ISP’s are always the bad guys.

When I read stories like this one, I cannot help but wonder why they do not offer desktop computers instead?

The state that was first to provide laptops to every seventh and eighth grader in its public schools is taking its campaign to the high schools, and Maine’s top education official vowed Thursday that every high school student will have a laptop computer within two years.

The 67,000 computers currently being distributed at more than half of the high schools will give students the skills they’ll need to compete in the workplace, said Don Siviski, superintendent of Regional School Unit 2.

Is it because they want students to have the portability to do their schoolwork at home as well as at school? I just think the desktop hardware would hold up a bit better than laptops, especially where kids are concerned.
