Tried a little experiment at FaceBook. Fail. I had a faceBoook account under my real name for a few years, but never paid much attention to it. It just struck me as a “cleaner” version of that…
1. I’m Really Rich (Now Buy My Album, Loser) Just in case the music and/or music videos didn’t tell you enough, a good push on the cover to remind you of a rapper’s vast wealth is always necessary. How many different things can you charge to the game and throw on an album cover? The answer is “a milli(on)” and we’ve seen them all. At least when they go bankrupt they can stare at their covers and remember the good ol’ days. (via 10 Hip-Hop Album Cover Cliches)
A bricklayer in Brazil who’d been reported dead turned up very much alive at his own funeral, shocking family members and, perhaps, providing excellent fodder for a third “Weekend at Bernie’s” movie.

Browser Curiosities...
It’s a fact (because I proclaim it) that Safari is the defacto-best web browser.
But which is the better runner-up - Opera 10 or Flock 2.5? Sorry, Firefox is becoming too bloated and MSIE shouldn’t even exist as it has ruined all humanity as far as I’m concerned.
Certainly Flock makes it much easier to search for images and do all that social-networking stuff, but they haven’t kept up-to-date with it. It’s based on Mozilla code, which is now at 3.6 (shortly, anyway) and the F-browser is still based on 3.0 code.
Opera on the other hand handles “plug-ins” (extensions; add-ons, whatever you want to call them) which they call “widgets” far better than the Firefox variety. There is nowhere near the selection, but that also is a good thing as one is not overwhelmed in choosing these add-ons.
And the new “Opera Unite” web-browser-as-a-server is a stunning idea with massive potential to make the world-wide web a true world-wide web.
I think I’ll stay with Opera 10.10b. I especially like how the email client is built-in with IMAP support (as web-based access is okay, I prefer plain-text emailing,) even though it doesn’t support digital signature certificates (which is why ThunderBird from Mozilla is actually far better.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, comment if you want. But you know I’m right about all this stuff.
A declaration by this Court of the legal rights of Apple and Psystar with respect to Psystar computers running Mac OS X Snow Leopard would clarify, to put it bluntly, the legality of Psystar’s business—and would remove the substantial negative effect on Psystar’s business of continued uncertainty and legal wrangling between Apple and Psystar,” the Florida clone maker said in the revised complaint filed in Miami, Fla. federal court.

Today, November 5th, 2009 is the big day that has Linden Lab quaking in their boots, biting their fingernail, holding an unruly bladder. At least, that’s what the “Artist’s Voice” campaign is hoping….
A huge problem many retailers in Second Life have is that their products are not seen by many potential buyers who want that product and are willing to pay for it. This is because of the urge many…
