Congressman Tom Delay : " Dear Friend, As you probably know, the very partisan Travis County D.A. recently manufactured an indictment against me that is based on charges from the 2002 Texas State House elections. These charges are groundless and false. I am completely innocent." This fucking crook that is tom Delay is not only guilty of the charges on the indictment but also of being a bad person and a scoundrel and a crook. However since that is the criteria that the AMERICAN people used to choose the president and the vice president I do not think that there's any hope whatsoever that justice will be made. I wish that this creep would choke on his own tongue

Gear Factor : "Here Comes the VideoPod
Topic: Media Players
I don't think this was quite the device many iPod nuts were hoping for, but the video-playing iPod is here. Announced just minutes ago at a special press conference, the new iPod is more or less an iPod Photo with movie-playing software built in.
Lest I sell this thing short, it's worth noting that there are other enhancements to the latest player from Apple. Selling for $399, the 60GB version has a 2.5-inch color screen, a thinner case than its comparable predecessor, and a purported 20-hour battery life. Plug this thing into your TV via S-Video, and you can play back digital recordings on the big screen. Apple claims you can store up to 2,000 music videos on this thing, but that sounds like a pretty vague measurement of capacity. How many episodes of Surface is that?"
Basically this is a crapy product that will be sold to hard core geeks.
BUT this is the begining of the online video distribution ind
"Los Voladores de Papantla" the papantla flyers , are Totonac Indians performing an ancient fertility ceremony. As they slowly descend to earth, the 13 revolutions made by the four flyers equal the 52-year span of the Aztec century. The flyers represent earth, water, fire and air, and the interweaving of these four elements symbolizes the creation of new life. A fifth man is left on top, dancing on this tiny nine-inch platform while simultaneously playing both a pre-Columbian flute and drum. (c) Topio Inc 2005
EFF: DeepLinks : "You Are the MPAA: A Broadcast Flag Update
September 26, 2005
Imagine you're a happy-go-lucky conglomerate of Hollywood media companies. Faced with some tweaks to your business model that you'd rather not contemplate, your members have conceived of an ingenious alternative: compelling tech companies to implement shoddy copy-protection on every digital AV-enabled computer in the land."
