Led Zeppelin Nail Show + LIVE VIDEO

Well Led Zeppelin have finished their Reunion show. The band played alot of their greatest hits and some less popular ones such as “In my Time of Dying” (a personal favorite), many did not think they would pull it off but fans left saying their where better now then in the 70’s. With that sort of positive feedback its going to be hard to believe a tour is not ahead. A DVD is said to becoming out from the show and I’m sure they will work to have it out before Christmas. Now as promised, here they are live from the 02 yesterday

Western Media and the Thailand Jihad

The news. For some of us its 30 minutes a night. Others it 30 minutes a week. That is not a lot of time to cover everything going on around the world. So what else is going on in the world other than the DOW dropping, the War in Iraq, the iPhone sweeping the nation, etc. Are we expected to believe the rest of the world is at peace and concerned with the same things as the western society?
I am in no way an expert on the subject of Western Media or expert in the news and whats going on in the world today. But I have however stubbed across a interested story that I’m having trouble finding information about.

The Thailand Jihad

Muslim attacks on Buddhist Monks, teachers, policemen, and farmers. Its rather a complex issue so I will do my best to make it appear black and white.

View of the Muslims

• Thai are non-Muslims, that is their crime
• They have no right, as Infidels, to rule over Muslims
• They are an offense against Allah, and his people

Buddhism has neary disappeared from India because of the Muslim invasion. There is a mass destruction of Buddhist temples and statuary. In May 2001 two of the world’s tallest ancient Buddha statues, the Buddas of Bamyan, were completely destroyed by the Taliban (muslim) in Bamyan, Afghanistan.

How green is the apple?

How green is the apple?
- by brett watts -

Theres no doubt about it, Apple is one of the largest and most successful companies in the world today. It claims to be one of the greenest but is this true or simply a clever marketing tactic?

Lets take a look at the pros of Apples efforts to be a greener company. Here are my top 3 pat on the backs for Apple.

1. Responsible Manufacturing
2. The Apple Recycle Program
3. Efforts for Energy Efficiency

Now is there business opportunity in these green solutions?

1. Responsible Manufacturing
   

Responsible Manufacturing is not really that brilliant of an idea. Make a smaller product that uses less stuff and we will have to buy less stuff. So your wondering why this is number one? Well actually rather than being about cutting down stuff its more about what stuff your counting back. Below is a image from the apple site.

So you can see the improvements and how they cut materials and cost. Theres nothing wrong with this infact many more companies should be smart enough to adapt the same idea. Below this image is a list of substances banned from Apple products. You get the idea from that. Theres some nasty stuff in there and it simply is not removed by chance. Apple is clearly making a effort to be greener.

Fantansy Stock Traders

So ive recently become addicted to online fantasy stock traders. Your probably wondering what one of these are, well the name says it all. Basically its a free simulated enviornment for trading stocks without any risk involved but still the excitement of it all! You start with a certain amount of play money, on my favorite site its $1,000,000. From there you invest it in real stocks and they follow real returns. If you do well enough and bet the S&P 500 (the top 500 largest companies in the world averaged into 1 number) you get REAL money sent to your paypal based on how well you do. I made my first $1.05 in 2 weeks but im hoping to catch up to the bigger guys who are making thousands of dollars. Its cool and fun and more about that then the money.

So if your interested in the stock market and how it works check it out!

Lamb of God praised for lack of orgionality

Heres the article

So lets break things down…

• Lamb of God is not having their albums proffesionally mastered to save money opps i mean so you the fans can do it
• Nine Inch Nails actully didnt already do this ….that was different right?
• This will result better mixes of the music by 14 year olds kids with garageband rather then a trained proffesional on a protools system

So now lets look at this agian. Lamb of God is doing nothing orgional, Nine Inch Nails have done this long ago and nothing good is going to come from it. This article should not have been homepage material.
If your a fan of the band this is a cool thing for a fan, but im sure the LOG fans would rather have this album released for fans to remix aswell as remixed and proffesional remix.
Lets face the fact that 95% of people who remix these tracks will try a few things and after 10 minutes give up and go back to playing xbox.

LOG should send $1 to trent of NIN for every download and another $5 for everything I site like UG covers the story, seeing as it was his idea

T&S goes Mac

Thats right, I post this blog now from a mac computer. The real news here is garageband. O my lord garageband. Today I uncovered the single greatest thing for mac users and fans of the program Guitar Pro. You can actually export your Guitar Pro song as a MIDI then import it into Garageband, use the better sounding Garageband instruments then export it as a .mp3. Of course you can also record the actual instrumental part with a mic and line them up over top the MIDI then delete the MIDI for the ultimate recording. You can also add vocals and other instruments to these tracks. And best of all, every guitar player can go download a song as a Guitar Pro file, import it into Garageband, delete the guitar part and have a flawless backing track so you can jam to real tunes or record the guitar parts to them. How sweet it it.

Why raking leaves is dumb and you are even dumber for doing it

Why raking leaves is dumb and you are even dumber for doing it
by: Brett Watts

Leaves fall to the ground every fall and land on people lawns, much like your own. Dumb people like you rake these leaves up with your Walmart rakes, and put them in paper bags at the curb to be picked up by large trucks. These gas guzzling large trucks will drive all around your neighborhoods picking up these leaves and then transporting them to a landfill where they will decompose. Because these leaves do not decompose on your lawns and in your flower beds, the nutrition these leaves hold is not returned to the soil from which it came. Thus fore you are breaking up the natural cycle of life and pollution the environment with your trucks and rakes. Now when spring comes and the snow metals (huh what? Why don’t you shovel snow off your lawns? O that’s right its good for your lawn like the leaves) and you see all your grass is dead you freak out and go buy lawn products from the same Walmart you bought the rake and pour it all on your lawn to help it grow. Worse then that you go buy compose for your gardens and lawns to help them grow. In case you are too dumb to figure it out by now I will point out the obvious, the compose your are buying is in fact made from your very leaves your raking up this fall. So basically you are raking your leaves, to give to these companies with your rake which you also bought from them, so that you can buy your composed leaves back from them for a lot more then your charged them, which was free. So now you are paying money to these companies for your leaves.
You people are dumb and are screwing the planet over. No one cares about what your lawn looks like in October, you are not special and no one goes around judging people on how their lawn looks. If your one of these people, go get a life cause your 1/6000000000 and when you die, you and your lawn will be forgotten.
Leave your leaves on your lawn this fall and help the environment out.
