Madonna ruins another art, too bad it wasn't her own.


I contacted the Center for Movies and Other Stuff for some reference materials regarding Guy Ritchie last night after watching Revolver. As you can see, the graph starts strong with Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and peaks with Snatch. After this, you can see the sharp decline in creativity due to Madonna crushing Guy Ritchie's soul. I can't feel sorry for Guy Ritchie because he chose to be with her but his movies are really lackluster lately. After the Madonna entrance, the Swept Away premiere was met with "Gigli" type reviews. And then, Revolver. Geez, I really had high hopes for this movie. The beginning started strong and the setup was great but as the story went on, both my girlfriend and I started to look at each other in confusion. The action was there, the stars were present, the story had potential and then it took a sharp right turn and somehow it ended up in Ishtar. The last movie on the graph is Rock n Rolla. This movie hasn't been released yet but if the prior two movies are any indicator of how this movie will be, it will be a stinker. I don't usually write about movies on my blog but I couldn't let this one pass. Madonna, release your clutches on this poor soul who is now dead behind the eyes.

Apple pushes Safari on unsuspecting users

I don't trust Apple even more after this last stunt that they have pulled with Safari. As many network administrators have discovered this week, Safari is now standard with ITunes! I was actually surprised that Apple would pull this with their "loyal" followers. Maybe the other way to look at this is that they are pushing this junk onto users that don't necessarily know about or like Apple software. I do know that network admins now have a problem on their hands in getting rid of this garbage from their systems. It actually looks like Apple took a page out of the Microsoft or Adobe play book for this one. It seems like an "opt in" would be necessary to install this software but they have it set up for the opposite. Let's be honest, who actually reads the legal mumbo jumbo that pops up when installing or updating software? It's hard to read and even harder to understand unless you are the one that wrote it. Last week after the Pwn to Own contest, Safari came in last. Using the Safari browser, the hacker was able to get into the Mac and shut it completely down within 2 minutes. Do you really want this on your system? Hey, Safari actually makes Internet Exploder look like a better option! I will stick with FireFox, good luck everyone else.

Happy April fools day Google!

When I checked my email this morning, I saw that Google has a new mail option. Gmail custom time! This allow you to send emails to the past, supposedly. The idea would be nice if it were possible to send emails to people in the past.



I took a screen shot of this April fools day prank. Hats off to you Google, thanks for the laugh.
