Sunday August 16 2009, 37prime.wordpress.com was taken offline. This blog was apparently shutdown for Terms Of Service (TOS) violation. This blog was gone for about 24 hours, and thanks to Mark everything was straightened out. Mark assured me that there was some kind glitch that took this blog down.
All is well now.
Thank You Mark!
Now, I can call off the Crusade against WordPress.com.

Dave Mustaine has made “1,320” available for your listening pleasure. It is first available through MegaFanClub (Megadeth Fan Club) and will be streaming at Roadrunner Records site. As usual the MegaFanClub system overlord (that’s you, McRobb!) is threatening the members to not share the track somewhere else.
“1,320” is the amount of feet in one-quarter of mile.
According to Dave Mustaine:
‘1,320” is a song about nitro fuel funny cars (something I enjoy).

It’s official! Comedy Central cancels RENO 911! today as revealed by show creator Thomas Lennon through Twitter.
“Reno 911! was cancelled at 1:30 pm today. Won’t be wearing the shorts again.”
Fans blame show creators for killing off the Deputies.
I talked to Carlos Alazraqui who played Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia at The Hollywood Improv on Thursday night. Alazraqui says that he never left but only one season ahead of the show itself. He also says that fans can always watch the show on re-run and DVD. In addition to that Alazraqui will be hitting the road with Cedric Yarbrough (Deputy S. Jones) for the coming months.
p.s. Trying to get Cedric Yarbrough to say a few words about RENO 911! and his current projects. Stay tuned!
I’ve been away from writing anything this past week. I’m adding two new pictures:
I also uploaded the pictures on Flickr.
The past week was filled with news about Apple, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!
Microsoft inked a deal with Yahoo! in the search business. Basically the deal artificially gives Microsoft Bing a boost in the online search engine war. Yahoo! is doing what many agree to call as stupid move. As usual, Microsoft head cheerleader and PR spokesperson with the name that rhymes with “Saul Tour Rot” said that this is good for Yahoo! I don’t believe that for a second. Apparently Microsoft can’t compete fairly.
Does anyone still remember when Google and Yahoo! were working on the web-advertising deal? Some people were quick to cry antitrust!
Well, since the Microsoft and Yahoo! combined are still smaller than Google’s share on the online search business………..
Microsoft is a bully, and they are bullying Yahoo! to give up part of their business. Microsoft does not innovate, they just use their war-chest to buy their way into other people’s territory.

Let’s get to Apple and Google now.
Eric Schmidt quits Apple Board of Directors amid scrutiny and controversy.
First, Google is (in)directly competing with Apple in the smart-phone space; namely Android. With the announcement of Chrome OS, Google will be competing against Apple in the Operating System space.
Second, came along the Google Voice controversy. Apple has been systematically pulling Goggle Voice related apps from iTunes App Store and rejecting Google’s own Google Voice app. Many believe that AT&T is pulling the strings. AT&T stated that they neither manage nor approve apps for the iTunes App Store. What about the Skype and SlingPlayer Mobile apps, AT&T?
Exclusivity contract is the bane of the iPhone in the U.S. and in other countries. Rather than being a 13-year old like “Screw You” Mike Arrington, consumer should tell Apple what they think.To be honest, most users won’t care or even know what Mike Arrington is talking about.
Tell Apple what you think (U.S. contact info):
I am an iPhone and Google Voice user. I want Google Voice App on the iPhone.

Some other thoughts.
Apple has the right to say what apps can and cannot be installed on the iPhone. Apple has the right to approve and rejects any apps for the iPhone. Apple has the right to allow and disallow any devices to sync with iTunes. In the end Apple can’t please each and everyone. I am not happy that certain apps are blocked from the Apps Store.
Not a surprise for Leo Laporte to call iTunes + (iPod & iPhone) a monopoly. Leo is wrong!
Maybe I should complain that my PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii are monopoly in their own hardware & software business.
Maybe I should demand Avid to support Final Cut Pro and vice-versa.
Maybe I should demand Sony to support my Samsung remote control with their TV.
Maybe I should stop for now.
