I like the song “Rush” by Tom Sawyer

VH1 is at it again. This time they are polling for 100 greatest Hard Rock Songs. To be honest, it is so lame because VH1 thinks that The White Stripes is any good at all. Are you kidding? What’s next? Jack White is better than Eddie Van Halen; wait a minute, The Rolling Stone Magazine said so.

Asides from that, VH1 wants the world to know that there is this one band called “Tom Sawyer” and their song titled “Rush” in the poll.

One would think that VH1 has some people watching out for any typos. What’s next? “Megadeth” by Peace Sells and “Metallica” by Enter Sandman.

I’ll Give You 110-Percent!

I was listening to Leo Laporte’s The Tech Guy Show and looking at the show notes.

It says:

“Google looses search ground in June.
Google’s share of the web search market is down to 61%. What is that other 49% using?”

Let’s see. 61% + 49% = 110%

I get it, it’s just like Bender who is made of 30% iron, 40% dolomite, 40% titanium and 40% zinc, with a 0.04% nickel impurity.

OK, it’s a typo on Leo’s Show Notes. It might get fixed by now.

Name for a Wireless Network

There are a lot of funny names for Wireless Network. I saw this one and tried to get in, but I don’t know what the password is. I’m unable to join the “therearesomewhocallmetim” wireless network.

Monty Python would be proud.

Metallica: “Death Magnetic” Cover Art is Revealed

Metallica has revealed the cover art for “Death Magnetic,” the new album since 2003.

Higher resolution of the cover art can be found at Metallica’s own website.

As pictured above, the cover art depicts magnetic field surrounding a coffin-shaped grave. “Death Magnetic” cover art also marks the return of Metallica’s famous logo with slight alterations that was abandoned since “Load” in 1996, with the exception of “Garage Inc.” which was a facsimile of “Garage Days Re-Revisited” band logo.

As a side notes, some Blabbermouth readers posted funny comments about the cover art.

As previously confirmed, a special edition of “Death Magnetic” will be packaged in a coffin box. The Special Edition Box will include the full CD , a demo CD, “making of the album” DVD, a t-shirt only available in this box, a flag, guitar picks, and a fold out poster along with a collector’s credit card embossed with a code to redeem a free download of a special European show happening in September (details coming soon!). Special Edition contents are subject to change/finalize.

Please stop polluting the series of tubes with your post about something that you have no interest none whatsoever. I know you’re posting it because it is what people are interested about. You are only looking for attentions and hoping that your post get indexed by Google and get tons of hits. Yeah, I know. I can sense your AdSense account being prepped. Honestly I don’t want to read your stupid “Why I won’t be getting/buying/using/stealing/abusing ……..” post. Please stop! You’re cluttering the feed and the series of tubes.

two.
You are Paul Thurrott, Mr. Holier Than Thou, the original Microsoft Defender. I don’t understand why Leo Laporte let all of your psycho-babbles slide.  You don’t know anything else besides defending Microsoft. Stop pretending that you’re using Mozilla Firefox, Linux, and Mac OS X. You’re buying a MacBook so that you can install Windows on it? If you want a Windows PC, get a Windows PC. You feel the need to disect all statistic but one, Microsoft’s. When will you ever disect Microsoft’s claim on Windows Vista sales the way you disect the statistics for Linux, Macs, iPod, iPhone, condoms, popcorn, twinkies, etc.? Isn’t it obvious, Mr. Microsoft Insider? You’re always bragging about having access to Microsoft’s internal memos. That makes you a Microsoft whipping boy.

three.
Please take a look at your “c”, “v”, and “ctrl” or “command” keys on your keyboard. If they’re a bit worn more than other keys that mean you’ve been a busy plagiarizing slacker. Why bother having opened an account or two or three at WordPress.com, while all you have done is copying and pasting other people’s articles? Sure you’re kinda referencing the source, but that’s all pretty much you’ve done. Once again, please stop! As a bonus, please remove the stupidly annoying avatar you have for your WordPress account. All you’re doing is reposting contents from others without even understanding what you’re copying and pasting into your stupid blog.

Dear Admirer,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me, Bender.  Although I deleted your email without looking at it, I’m sure it was very boring.  Write again soon!

Your robot pal,

Bender

P.S. – If you buy less than eight copies my DVD, you’re a cheapskate.
