Who’s the Daaaaahhdddeee ?
Rams in the north of england fitted with harnesses and dyed packs to indicate which of the ewes in their flock have been serviced have been getting ‘bored’ and turning on one another in what can only be described as an ovine gay frenzy !
Gives an entirely new meaning to ‘getting fleeced’

RIAA - DRM, file-sharing and spanking the consumer
XPost from here
I’ve long been a DRM hater - I don’t own an iPod because I want to listen to my music in the format I choose, not what apple wants me to. The media furore over this American woman’s pitiful defense about the use of Kazaa is becoming a feeding-frenzy and I don’t imagine it’ll be too long before we see her doing heavy rotation on the daytime chat shows. However out of all this hoohaa, and alongside the Radiohead album release for free, a simple message from a chap trying to make the music industry realise it’s being overtaken and will rapidly become redundant. I like this message and for one will be looking for his books.

Holy XBox Inflation
Just scooting about the BBC site and found a link in the article to eBay. Wandered over there and found to my amazement that some mook had just paid £1550.01 for a brand new xBox (the one with the headset and hard drive etc)…I make that a 553.6% markup. Holy crap some people just have NO sense whatsoever !?
M$ have (as has been widely reported elsewhere) rushed this product through QC and are miles behind on market supply, just in order to beat their competitors to market & for the Xmas market…Just makes me think…I’ve got the ‘old’ XBox sitting under my telly and the last time we had it on was about a month ago ! Wonder what they are changing hands for on eBay [googles...] Yup £66 ?!?!
I can’t help feeling we are getting a sh#tty deal here and that M$ are just slipping in a poorly specified PC in sexy clothes under your telly with a flaky and untested OS…I personally would MUCH rather have a quiet, powerful ‘proper’ PC under my telly on which I can store my photos, music, videos, download and watch telly through a TV decoder card, surf the interweb, read my email…oh and in addition play PC games on as well ?!?!
Now before someone mentions the price (£1000-ish) I know it’s expensive but, I have all my games I want to play on it already, don’t need to buy any new XBox platform-specific ones. I can timeshift Freeview telly with a little work on it (Murdoch stick yer Sky+ up yer erse !), and all the stuff I mentioned above…whay haven’t M$ been upfront and just said that this is waht they want your XBox to truly become..and if they have and I missed the presentation…where’s the upgrades ? Oh sorry…i’ll be shipping with the XBox 360 SP1 ?!?!? RoMFALMAO…Xbox 360…no thanks !
