"We are planning to Flash Mob David Blaine on Monday 13th October at precisely 7.44pm.
Why???

Blaine is encasing himself in a Perspex box and trying to go without food for 44 days. For his New York stunt (standing still for three days) he said “It was the freaks, the freaks in the middle of the night that kept me going…” – we want us to show him that the British Humour of London Freaks may well create his biggest challenge yet!"

"Tracking down wireless numbers will soon be easier, and that means the sales pitches will find you, wherever you are"
"ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. For most of their brief history, telemarketers have stuck to landline phones. But that could soon change, says Rene Link, vice-president for marketing at wireless consultancy InCode Telecom in San Diego. Soon after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) implements its wireless number portability rules on Nov. 24, it's expected that most phone customers will also be able to keep the same number when they switch from regular landline to wireless service. And as that happens, telemarketers almost certainly will start reaching people via their mobile phones."

Telemarketers' Next Target: Cell Phones

Illegally copied games protected by the system work properly at first, but start to fall apart after the player has had just enough time to get hooked. As a result, the pirated discs actually encourage people to buy the genuine software, the developers say."

While thinking people are apt to be little suprised by this, its actually a fairly damning report on just how many of us are lieing to ourselves.

I have yet to hear one good thing site-finder supposedly does. "It's good for verisign customers" is pretty damn vague. In fact, how is it that they seem to think they are the "Vocal Majority" even though they are the only ones who seem to see any benifit at all to site-finder? The "Vocal Minority" who encompases basically everyone who understands whats going on sees it as verisign trying to compromise and control the internet. Who are they trying to convince i wonder?
