PSA: Transition to CyanogenMod.org

 CyanogenMod.com  is now CyanogenMod.org

It's another interesting sign of how ingrained the DNS system* has become to the way we use the net. How it's policed, too. I think Kim Dotcom should launch the new Megaupload by getting everyone to memorize its IP address. Shouldn't be much more difficult than remembering something like Jenny's 867-5309, amirite?

United Breaks Guitars

Musician Dave Carroll had difficulty with United Airlines. United’s baggage handlers damaged his $3500 custom guitar, and he spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages. During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, Dave stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for YouTube exposing United’s lack of cooperation. The manager responded: “Good luck with that one, pal.” Dave shot and posted his video on YouTube. The video has since received over 11 million hits

The Brotherhood of Man on Planet Earth

This has nothing to do with having been sort of intoxicated
