MySpace Sucks for many reasons

They have a crappy layout and the add placements are obsurd but the real reson MySpace sucks is because of spam.

I've been reading about how they have 200 million members, but I know for a fact that about 20 of those profiles have the same girls picture and now her name is Bob.

It is really, really stupid. Can MySpace do something about this, of course. But they won't until they have to.

MySpace is that girl in school that sleeps with everybody. Easily accessible, everybody likes her but she obviously has no self respect.

MySpace Sucks.

Radiohead Scoffs at Label Copyrights with Free Album!

So, Radiohead isn't a very popular band, in fact, I bet most people haven't even heard of them. Wait, that's not true at all, Radiohead is HUGE! I love them, you love them, we all love Radiohead. From Pablo Honey to Kid A, they're eclectic crazy, sexy, modern and interesting.

Anyway, now that I got that out, let me tell you about Radiohead's Free Album! Their newest album, "In Rainbows" is available absolutely free on their website. As a downlaod of course, the actual box set will cost you $40. What's so interesting about this, is the recent activity and media surrounding copyright holders, record labels, and our dear old friends (Napster, Limwire, etc.)

Radiohead has slapped them in the face by offering their entire album, as a free download, available on the website In Rainbows

I know, you go to the website and it doesn't look like it's free. But add the album download to your shopping cart, go to check out and be surprised by the witty little form you're asked to fill out.

I'd tell you about it, but I don't want to spoil the fun! btw: click on the question mark link when you're in the shopping cart to get some cute dialogue going :)

Record Industry Assholes sue Jamie Thomas for $222,000

Jamie Thomas, a middle income working woman recently lost a lawsuit to the record industry for over 200 grand. They alleged she shared 1,702 songs in all and focused on 24 songs in particular, with a $9,250 fine for each song.

I got one question for Jamie; that's all? You must be a slacker because EVERYONE I know that loves music and frequently goes to concerts has ripped off more music than that. The thing is, they are not ripping anyone off, instead, these thieves are spreading the message of their favorite music without any hint of attempting to profit.

Record industries who charge $20 for a cd are the criminals. The are greedy fucks who are not about integrity, rather, money.

The record companies accused Thomas of downloading the songs without permission and offering them online through a Kazaa file-sharing account. Thomas denied wrongdoing and testified that she didn't have a Kazaa account.

What's next?

More criminal behavior by corporate dickfucks.

What can be done?

I don't know but Radiohead figured out something cool; go independent. Their new album, "in Rainbows" is free. That's right, free to download and $40 to buy a hard copy. Now that is sweet and a much better reaction than Metallica and Dr. Dre had to Napster back in the day.

Music downloading is easy. So is online gambling. So is buying drugs. So is speeding. And on and on.

The fact is, 99.9% of musicians benefit off of free downloads because it's free publicity. The record industry does not care about the product or the fans, only the bottom dollar. Hopefully more musicians do what Radiohead did and I'll keep going to their shows. You better believe I'm not buy a freaking album from Wal-Mart. They stole enough of my money in the 90's and I don't think I'll ever be able to witn a lawsuit.

Google Pagerank Sucks

Check out this DigitalPoint thread about the next google pagerank. 331 pages of useless nonsense. Nobody seems to know when the next Google Page Rank update will occur except for Google Technology, herself.

According to the estimated Google Page Rank calendar cycle, the next update was to occur in late July but for whatever reason, nothing has happened yet for most people.

Apparently some have changed rank but the vast majority of us are left scratching our heads. Especially people who have sites with a ton of content, just waiting to get more advertising dollars.

Why the delay?

The hell if I know. This is google people, so everything is sworn to secrecy. Hell, the only reason I'm writing about this is because I've wasted too much time reading the above mentioned DigitalPoint thread. Now at least I'm being productive.

Seriously, the amount of time people waste on this stuff is dumb. But the reality is it does affect certain markets and perceptions, so we are all stuck to it, like it or not.

People are speculating that they are doing away with it or making big changes but I seriously doubt it. They are just delaying it and probably making little adjustments. It'll happen and they'll make us wait, laughing all the way to the bank.

Want to check your Google Page Rank? You should get the Google pagerank extension for FireFox.

Or, if you're gay and use IE go ahead and check your page rank online like a noob with the Google Pagerank Lookup Tool

Why are there are so many deals for online shopping?

Right now, in this age, you are absolutely losing money every day by not utilizing the benefits of price comparison and competition over the web. Every day, a new website arises offering price comparisons of various products. The reason why websites can offer discounts you wouldn't normally get by just calling, is that they negotiate terms with these "products" (computers, software, services, books, clothing) Terms that individuals, not purchasing in bulk amounts, would have no place negotiating.

CouponChief.com offers these coupons at many stores you probably already shop at, why not saving money shopping online?

Here are some of my favorite stores they offer coupons for.
