Thor, Anthrax and Dream Theater.

It is September 13th, 2011 and it’s time to spend some hard earned cash on entertainments.

As I have mentioned it before, I was planning to get new records from Anthrax and Dream Theater today. As I walked in the store I found out that Thor is also released today. There goes $50 out of my pocket.

I have yet to open any of the packages, so I won’t be doing any reviews. Then again I won’t be doing any reviews after I actually listens and watch them because I’m way too lazy.

Anthrax – Worship Music

  • New album with Joey Belladona who was out of Anthrax after Persistence of Time.
  • Anthrax played a show at Best Buy Theater in New York under the Moniker Satan’s Lounge Band on Monday September 12th, 2011.
  • Anthrax along with Megadeth, Slayer and Metallica will play The Big 4 show at Yankee’s Stadium on Wednesday September 14th, 2011 at 4:00 PM.

Dream Theater – A Dramatic Turn of Events

  • A Dramatic Turn of Events is the first Dream Theater record without founding member Mike Portnoy.
  • It is also the first with new drummer Mike Mangini.
  • Three editions are available:

Thor

  • Thor is played by Chris Hemsworth, who also played George Kirk in 2010’s Star Trek.
  • There’s Natalie Portman in it.
  • I have not watched the movie yet, not even in the theater.
  • Three editions of the movie are sold in most stores.

Ten years to the day.

Ten years to the day, there are things I don’t remember and there are things I won’t forget.

Things that I knew to happen ten years ago:

Those were the two of many releases scheduled for September 11th, 2001. Live Scenes From New York original artwork featured a flaming apple with New York skyline including the twin towers of World Trade Center. Lyrical themes of God Hates Us All seems to be prophetic with the event of September 11th, 2001.

What happened that day changed how we live our lives. Would there be warrantless electronic surveillance in the news? Would there be long security lines in the airport? Would the governments demand backdoor to be built in encryptions? Would governments ask RIM for access to their secured network?

Ten years to the day…….

Marketing versus Reality.

Advertisement for a Tech product:

“It is so easy to use, even a 5 year old can use it.”

What an average user would say:

“They said it is so easy to use, but how? I’m not good with tech stuff.”

Marketing does not necessarily represent reality.

Amazon.com signs deal with California over Sales Tax Collection.

Dare I say that I saw it coming?

From San Jose Mercury News:

In a deal indicating all sides appear ready to call a truce, Amazon.com is offering to back down from its referendum drive to repeal an online sales tax in exchange for a one-year moratorium on collecting the tax, sources close to the talks with Amazon said Wednesday night.

Does that mean Amazon would bring back its Associates Program to California residents?

How much would an iPod touch with 3G service cost?

Apple is reportedly making iPod touch with 3G service. How much premium would 3G connectivity would add to the cost of the iPod touch? iPad with 3G is priced $130 higher than the Wi-Fi only version. Would Apple add $130 to the price of iPod touch with 3G? Would people pay for the extra $130?

I haven’t heard anything about iPod touch with 3G from my Apple contact. That doesn’t confirm nor deny such product would be released by Apple.
