Locations, Locations, Locations!

Apple and Google are sued on separate occasions for the alleged location tracking.

Meanwhile, Tom Tom’s GPS data is being used to target speeders in Netherlands.

At least Windows Phone 7 does not store location data on the phone. They are collecting it on the fly.

Why are these companies tracking me? Before I finish my thought, I should check-in on Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, Google Latitude, … and geotagging this post.

Dream Theater announces Mike as the new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike.

It’s official, Dream Theater announces Mike as their new drummer, replacing their old drummer Mike. That’s Mike Mangini who replaces Mike Portnoy.

The audition process was documented with title “The Spirit Carries On” and can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/roadrunnerrecords.

For those in Germany can view the videos here:

For sure the rest of the band would have no problem calling their new drummer the wrong name. It has always been Mike. Eddie Trunks knew this for a while.

South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season, the controversy continues.

For those who are expecting an uncensored version of South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season might be disappointed.

First, you would instantly noticed that the packaging did not say “Uncensored” anywhere on the packaging. South Park: The Complete Eleventh Season was the first to be released uncensored. Both Twelfth and Thirteenth Season DVD and Blu-Ray were also uncensored. So, what about the Fourteenth Season?

Second, there’s a sticker that said “Includes All Episodes!” on the Complete Fourteenth Season packaging. Fans are concerned that both episode “200” and “201” would not be included in the set. As a matter of fact both episode “200” and “201” are still not available on iTunes Store and Amazon Instant Download. Well, “All Episodes” are included but Episode “201” is heavily censored just like the broadcast version. Adding insult to the injury, the commentary by Trey Parker and Matt Stone is also censored with long beeps. According to PArker and Stone, Comedy Central is the one behind the censorship and might not release the Complete Season if Episode “201” was uncensored.

More on this.

South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season – all beeps are included.

So, you are a South Park Fan? You must be angry about Episode 201 and all those unnecessary beeps. Well, you must be thrilled to know that all the beeps are included in South Park: The Complete Fourteenth Season DVD and Blu-ray.

You must have wondered why.

Well, apparently Comedy Central would not release the uncensored episode in any form as Trey Parker and Matt Stone have explained.

Stay tuned for more updates.
