Quick Post: Why HuffPo Matters

Posted in Uncategorized on June 29th, 2009 by admin

Today I received an e-mail from Air America Radio with the teaser:

Pitney-gate: Why Is Huffington Post Getting Called On At White House Pressers?

First I have to say it’s a teaser because I saw no mention of this story in the actual e-mail. Secondly, maybe it has something to do with the huge sum of money recently invested in the Huffington Post ($15 million!), money which didn’t come from the White House and the taxpayer.

Why not reward an American company that is out there doing it without asking for a bailout and a media company that isn’t about to go under? (see: American Newspapers) Now this isn’t the reason that Obama called on Pitney, it was because they knew he had a real question. But the above is just my 2 cents.

Apple To Give Credits To 3G S Owners Only For System Downtime

Posted in Lame on June 21st, 2009 by admin

But what is it doing for the existing 3G owners who couldn’t pay their bills for a week leading up to the launch? (Did you try to pay your bill online this month). And what about those few days of spotty service because of something mysterious happening on their network in the lead up to the 3G S announcement at the WWDC?

iPhone 3G S users are still experiencing delays activating their new smartphones, but Apple apparently wants to make it up to users.

Apple began notifying affected customers via e-mail on Sunday that they may experience additional delays for another two days due to “system issues” and “high activation volumes,” according to readers in various blogs who claim to have received the e-mail. The problems began immediately after the new iPhone’s launch Friday.

“How immoral! Accessing a partner’s flexible spending account to purchase prescription eyewear with pretax earnings is a right that should only be granted to those in religiously-sanctioned heterosexual relationships.”

Lame: After Updating to Firmware 3.0 You’ll See iPhone sync error 13019

Posted in Lame, Mobile, News, Review, Software on June 17th, 2009 by admin

If you recently updated to the iPhone 3.0 firmware you may find that you can’t sync your iPhone in Windows (reports coming in from Windows 7, Vista and XP) without receiving an error. The sync is automatic after the update, and the lame part is that when it fails it will make all your media invisible to you in the iPod app.

Luckily there is a solution to this fail other than restoring from a backup (lengthy) or just throwing your Jesus Phone away:

Heres how to fix.

Unsync your music/videos or whatever isnt going onto your iphone/itouch by plugging in your device and unchecking the sync box within each multimedia tab then click apply. Let the device sync then once completed reconnect your device check all your sync tabs that you want and sync again. This should resolve the problems and sync your files.

It should only be your music and videos and some podcast that dont sync at the start but this description should fix the error 13019.

Lame: John Ensign Paid 19 Year Old To Keep Quiet?

Posted in Lame, News, Politics on June 17th, 2009 by admin

I smell pay-off! I bet it went something like this: “I’m going to tell the world you are fscking my mom unless you buy me this sup’d up Honda Civic I’ve had my eyes on! Pay up old dude!”

A Republican committee paid Nevada Senator John Ensign’s illicit girlfriend’s son $5,400 during the SAME EXACT TIME Ensign and the lady were humping.

Not Lame: Blog to Read: “The DCeiver” – Seriously Funny Political Shit

Posted in Clip, Comedy, Funny, News, Not Lame, Politics, Review, Satire on June 17th, 2009 by admin

If you are going to read one political blog to make you laugh, and maybe cry, from laughing, it should be The DCeiver. Check out the sample post I stole below (yes, in its entirety because I’m just that lame). KTHXBAI…

Via Andrew Sullivan, here’s a look at the socialism that Sarah Palin has been warning you about, because she can see it from her porch or some shit:

Yeah, so, it goes like this. First, they came for $82.3 billion, and I said nothing, because FUCK DUDE, we still had $39.2 trillion, and yeah, I was like, “WOO, POP SOME CRISTAL UP IN THIS PIECE!” and anyway, did you know we are using some of that money to make another Final Destination sequel? It’s TRUE, we are, and yeah, I’D LOVE TO SEE CAPITALISM EXPLAIN THAT.
