T.I. ft Justin Timberlake Dead And Gone Video

T.I. Ft. Justin Timberlake- Dead & Gone (VIDEO)

This ain’t really a “new” joint, if you have the T.I. album, and the video isn’t really earth shattering, but once and a while I like to post some catchy commercial shizzle.

Safari 4 Beta

Apple announced a public beta of Safari 4 today with the “Nitro” engine that runs JavaScript 4.2 times faster than Safari 3.

“Apple created Safari to bring innovation, speed and open standards back into web browsers, and today it takes another big step forward,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “Safari 4 is the fastest and most efficient browser for Mac and Windows, with great integration of HTML 5 and CSS 3 web standards that enables the next generation of interactive web applications.”

The new public beta is available as a free download from Apple’s website for both Mac and Windows.

Apple details the new features found in Safari 4:

- Top Sites, a display of frequently visited pages in a stunning wall of previews so users can jump to their favorite sites with a single click;
- Full History Search, where users search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages to easily return to sites they’ve seen before;
- Cover Flow, to make searching web history or bookmarks as fun and easy as paging through album art in iTunes;
- Tabs on Top, for better tabbed browsing with easy drag-and-drop tab management tools and an intuitive button for opening new ones;
- Smart Address Field, that automatically completes web addresses by displaying an easy-to-read list of suggestions from Top Sites, bookmarks and browsing history;
- Smart Search Field, where users fine-tune searches with recommendations from Google Suggest or a list of recent searches;
- Full Page Zoom, for a closer look at any website without degrading the quality of the site’s layout and text;
- Developer Tools – built-in web developer tools to debug, tweak and optimize a website for peak performance and compatibility; and
- Windows-native look in Safari for Windows, that uses standard Windows font rendering and native title bar, borders and toolbars so Safari fits the look and feel of other Windows XP and Windows Vista applications.

~~~

I tried it, it’s pretty cool, esp the google chrome-like top sites feature aka speed dial. I am hoping the next version of Firefox also has this feature, because this extension just doesn’t do the trick. Cheers.

Is A Sad Sack (in tears) Really Just Sweaty Balls? My Adventure At The Unemployment Office

Shabooty’s Adventure At The Unemployment Office

So, I just got back from the unemployment office and jotted down “comedic” notes while I was there (aka making fun of other people to make myself feel better), which is now this blog post. I had nothing better to do, my iPhone had no signal, so I couldn’t play with the interwebs. Trust me – if adversity creates “funny” [prose], then you are in for a treat. Note: all of this shit happened.

I get there, and wow it only takes 2 minutes to be helped by the receptionist. She asks for my name and SSN #, to have me see one of the workers. I sit down. This isn’t so bad… but I do notice a lot of chairs with butts in them. I see the person that was behind me in line, now at the receptionist. The receptionist gets his name and SSN #, but gives him a heads up which I overhear, “just so you know, there is a three hour wait.” WTF, THREE fucking hours? How long do you think it will take for me to join the boy scouts and earn the lasso knot badge?

Anyways, I am sitting down just trying to zone out of this situation until my name is called. I notice pretty much all of the fucking seats are full. I also notice this blonde white woman in the receptionist line – I am like wtf, this bitch stands out like a sore thumb amongst all of these minorities. Turns out, the bitch is a reporter for NBC4. She asks if anyone would be willing to be interviewed about the economy for the local nightly news. My disheveled ass didn’t want anything to do with that – besides, it’d be funny to goof on her – cause again, she stood out there amongst a sea of winners (sarcasm sandwich).

I notice a few things happen as soon as the white lady reporter shows up – mo foes that work there start bringing their A game. There is a TV + VHS to the left of me, and I suddenly see an informational PSA-esque (aka poorly produced) govn’t video being played out of nowhere. It’s basically an instructional/informational video for motherfuckers stuck in an unemployment office – to get tips on interviewing, finding jobs, and that sort of thing. It looked anchient – like it was made in the 80′s. I started zoning again (defense mechanism?).

Sean Martin Leaves Hatebreed

Hatebreed has announced the departure of guitar player Sean M. Martin and return of original guitarist Wayne Lozinak.

Frontman Jamey Jasta says, “I speak on behalf of all of us and we support Sean’s decision to leave and want him to be happy and successful at everything he does. There are no bad feelings at all and you’ll probably see him hanging on stage at some of our local shows. We’re family and he will be missed but HATEBREED will forge on.”

Sean M. Martin comments: “After 10 years, I’ve decided to leave HATEBREED. This in no way reflects my personal relationship with Jamey, Chris, Matt and Frank; they’re four of my closest friends and I’ll always love them with all my heart. I want to thank all of the fans as well as the guys in the band and crew, past and present, for giving me some of the best times of my life.”

Don’t be sad folks, this means F. Sean Martin will be dedicating more time producing music with the likes of Cardboard City.

Adam Carolla Podcast

I guess when Adam Carolla got fired from CBS LA radio and he said he’d do a free podcast, he wasn’t kidding! But, don’t feel too bad for Adam Carolla, I heard a TV show he’s developing (with Jimmy Kimmel) has been picked up.

Listen to the first podcast here:

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

ACP 2009.02.23
[DL: MP3]

I haven’t listened yet, but last time I checked, free podcasts can’t hurt. Oh, if you want future podcasts, here’s the official webpage.

P.s. This is only marginally related (Dr. Drew news) – I heard on the Stern show that Celebrity Rehab offered Artie Lange 250,000K to be on the reality series. But Artie turned it down. And in season one they had offered Andy Dick 500K and Andy turned THAT down! And when Andy came back around for Sober House he settled for a far lesser offer. Good game.

Steve Martin and Tina Fey at Oscars

Academy Awards: Steve Martin and Tina Fey bit

I still can never get over at how beautiful Tina Fey is… I wasn’t actually listening to her joke babble with Steve Martin I was looking at her cleavage. Anyways, this was the third funniest moment of the night. #1) Ben Stiller as Phoenix, #2) The Pineapple Express bit and this was #3.

Oscars Pineapple Express Skit

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0Og-UckDY]
Pineapple Express skit

This was the 2nd best ‘bit’ on last night’s Oscars. Seth Rogan’s is the mang. I still don’t  understand though, how he got his start in showbiz by being a writer on Da Ali G show, writing goofy interview questions for Ali G to ask. I want that job.
