YouTube's Copyright bullshit

If you put a video up on YouTube of, I don't know something like Mountain Biking, and that video has a song in it that YouTube's software flags as copyrighted material than YouTube can put ads on the page where the video appears.

The ads don't have to relate to the copyrighted material or the copyright holder, it just has to be copyrighted material. An example would be the video posted below when posted on YouTube had ads for McDonalds food, cruise line travel agents and hair products rotating next to it, no doubt with a "click-through" partner program deal in place. The good ole days of posting video's for your friends and family to see WITHOUT some form of corporate bloodsucking is over.

Do you want to know what I get out of this advertising deal?

The New York Times doesn't like Sarah Palin

Big news, I know but I thought I'd point that one out for you. It seems that Sarah Palin doesn't like polar bears, that's for sure.

I thought the news paper was supposed to be unbiased and neutral ? Whatever happened to "they wouldn't print it if it wasn't true!"

Here a a few key excerpts from the NY Time article:

"Throughout her political career, she has pursued vendettas, fired officials who crossed her and sometimes blurred the line between government and personal grievance, according to a review of public records and interviews with 60 Republican and Democratic legislators and local officials."

"In Wasilla, a builder said he complained to Mayor Palin when the city attorney put a stop-work order on his housing project. She responded, he said, by engineering the attorney’s firing."

"Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.

When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages — through a federal records request — he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.

“Their secrecy is off the charts,” Mr. Steiner said."

I'm not a big fan of Sarah Palin but I'd rather see news papers that had less opinion and more factual news.

If everything in the New York Times article is TRUE, we could be in for one hell of a rough ride as far as the "could be" VP would go.

Blah, blah, blah @#$%&

The other night I was watching TV and eating dinner with my wife when this 30 second ad appeared on the TV. Holly cow, we both just about spit out our dinner laughing.

I hope it brings a smile to your face as well.

Everyone is going green!

In fact this blog is using "green technology."

Being "green" is the latest fad! Can you reduce your carbon footprint? Are you living in a green household?

For the most part this whole "Green" thing is total crap (which, by the way should not be green, your crap that is).

The reason this blog is green is because no trees were killed to make paper for you to read my blog, therefore this blog is "green." The part they (me) left out is that the power generated to power my computer, the servers at my service provider, the DNS (Domain Name Server), the backbone (the "main" connector to the Internet that my service provider uses) and the coal-fired power plant used to create the electricity to run all the computers is so, so far from being "Green" it's not even funny.

It's all just marketing BS, remember with good marketing BS you can "market" ice cubes" to people living at the North pole. You don't believe me, well how do you explain the marketing BS that made us believe that smoking cigarettes would NOT kill us!

Oh, yea I remember that one.

So, how is your carbon footprint today?
