of 200 malaysians decorated trains on national day (merdeka train party)

Merdeka, with a difference: About 200 Malaysians took part in a flashmob organised by RandomAlphabets.com

Some shook their heads, puzzled, others giggled, and some even joined in the fun, but what's for sure is this: no-one could have ignored them. On August 31, 2009, 200 young Malaysians decided to celebrate National Day differently - they hopped on the KL Monorail trains and decorated them with colourful balloons, the Jalur Gemilang, and stickers.

The ‘guerilla style’ event, called ‘Merdeka Train Party’ was organised by RandomAlphabets.com, the brainchild of Zain HD, who has previously organised KL Freeze and the Pillow Fight events around the Klang Valley.

For the past few weeks, Zain and his crew planned out yesterday's events carefully, communicating with participants via Facebook and keeping secrecy intact until just a few days before the event, when they revealed the meeting place.

The KFC at KL Sentral was the spot, and after a short briefing seven groups of enthusiastic flashmobbers were on their way to board the trains. Once on the trains, the participants evoked curious stares from passengers and they sang patriotic songs, the ‘Negaraku’ and ‘Happy Birthday’ while decorating the trains with flags, balloons and stickers.

of simon cowell's label searching for source of leaked "don't let me down" song

Simon Cowell's Label Searching for Source of Leaked Song: Simon Cowell's SyCo record label is on the hunt for music pirates who have leaked the yet-to-be-released song "Don't Let Me Down." The song performed by Leona Lewis, features Justin Timberlake.
'American Idol' curmudgeon Simon Cowell's SyCo record label is on the hunt for music pirates who have gained access to, and leaked, the yet-to-be-released song "Don't Let Me Down." The song, which features Justin Timberlake, is performed by SyCo recording artist Leona Lewis, the 2006 winner of British talent show 'The X Factor.'

Even though the music industry loses a significant amount of money to music pirates who illegally distribute ripped-off songs and albums, this particular situation doesn't really seem too unfair. After all, the team behind "Don't Let Me Down" is blatantly ripping off, and disgracing the name of, one of the greatest rock 'n' roll songs of all time. For shame, Cowell.

of i cheated. this is my punishment

Scorned Wife Exacts Revenge on Hubby, Entertains Us: William Taylor cheated on his wife and paid the price. After finding evidence on his cell phone, his wife made him stand at a busy intersection during morning rush hour, holding up this sign.


William Taylor of Centreville, VA was seen wearing this in Tysons Corner
A man who identified himself as William Taylor of Centreville, Va. told a passerby that he cheated on his wife -- and she found evidence of it on his cell phone. So the wife allegedly doled out a rather creative punishment: He had to stand at the intersection during morning rush, wearing the handmade sign.

We haven't quite decided if this is a publicity stunt for some wacky YouTube channel or a ratings-driver for a morning radio station. But if it's true, we like it. We. Are. Amused.

This Is It is being produced with the full support of The Estate of Michael Jackson and will be drawn from hundreds of hours of rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage, captured in high definition with state-of-the-art digital sound as the late singer was preparing for his concert series in London. The film, which will also offer select sequences in 3-D, will provide a unique career retrospective and feature interviews with some of Jackson's closest friends and creative collaborators.

Link to another video.

Her MSG concert was mega and power packed. As Just Jared describe,
The concert was amazing with all of the snappy on-stage costume changes and constant hair whipping (Taylor said she has super strong neck muscles now because of it). The closing number ended with a splash (literally) with Taylor dancing and singing under a waterfall, which intermittently displayed cut-outs of her lyrics in the water. I die.
This video shows her standing in awe for over 2 minutes while her fans cheered.
I will remember this night for as long as i live. I will never EVER forget what you just did for me.

There must be glue on the bristles of the broom, or there are magnets in the floor working in concert with the buildings electrical system, or maybe ... just maybe ... it's something from beyond at work.

Kathleen Neill, 26, was busted yesterday among the other classic nudes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for posing naked. She's the latest project of photographer Zach Hyman, who makes a habit of shooting nude models in public places.

"Everything was going perfect until the very end," said Hyman. "Then it became a worst-case scenario."

But not exactly unexpected -- since he acknowledges having his lawyer on speed dial and bail money handy whenever he does a shoot. As for his other sessions, the model arrived fully clothed, did a quick strip while Hyman clicked away, then got dressed. This was the first time any of his models got arrested.

Celebrity disc jockey Adam Goldstein, known as DJ AM, was found dead Friday evening in his New York City apartment, and media reports say drug paraphernalia was found nearby. Paramedics had to break down the door to his Manhattan apartment before they found his body at about 5:20 p.m., a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. There was no evidence of foul play, the official said. Goldstein had talked openly about past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, but he claimed he had been drug-free for years.
TMZ reports that "DJ AM had been "completely devastated" over a recent breakup with his girlfriend, Hayley Wood."

Archos A5S and A5H Android Tablet Leaked by FCC: Leaked Archos Android Tablet. Photos below.
Archos has been rumored to release an Android Tablet for as long as we can remember and with an official Archos event planned for September 15th, the prospect of an Archos Android tablet became realer by the moment. Though we weren't exactly sure how the Archos Android Tablet would look like, leave it to the Notorious FCC for leaking what we believe to be the official device.

The FCC tested the Archos A5S, which has a touchscreen, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, FM transmitter/receiver, microSD slot, and microUSB port. 3G connectivity is reportedly available but the FCC did not test it (perhaps that's what the A5H has). The A5S is also using what we believe to be a custom build of Android (a la HTC Sense).

We're definitely excited about the Archos A5S but wonder what kind of market it will find. Are you guys interested in the Archos Android Tablet?

of mininova ordered to remove all ‘infringing’ torrents

Mininova Ordered to Remove All ‘Infringing’ Torrents: The Utrecht court orders Mininova to remove all torrent files linking to copyright protected material within 3 months or face damages of up to €5 million.
Mininova has lost its civil dispute with Dutch anti-piracy outfit BREIN. The judge ruled that Mininova is not directly responsible for any copyright infringement, but ordered it to remove all torrents linking to copyrighted material within three months, or face a penalty of up to 5 million euros.

Mininova were sued this spring by BREIN, an outfit which protects the rights of several large entertainment industry corporations.

Today, the judge ruled that the world’s largest BitTorrent indexer has been ordered to clean up its site and remove all torrents that link to infringing content.

BREIN’s intention was not to shut down the site. Instead, the organization called for a filter based on infringing keywords and possibly digital fingerprints to guarantee that the rights holders have sufficient means to protect their content.

The court agreed with BREIN’s assessment that Mininova is not doing enough to protect the rights of copyright holders, and ordered the site to remove all torrent files that link to infringing content within three months, or pay a penalty of 1000 Euro per infringing torrent with a maximum of 5 million euros ($7 million).

of the four-day workweek works!

T.G.I.Thursday: Utah state workers shifted to a 4-day week one year ago. 10 hour a day, four day a week.

Now GOOD reports that having 4-day work week helps.
1: Energy savings and reduction in carbon emissions
Closing state offices on Fridays has cut energy use by 13 percent in Utah.

2: Traffic reduction and commuter health
Of course, as fewer workers commute on any given day, there’s less traffic. But the hour shift for the four-day crew also thins out the traditional rush hours, speeding up travel for everyone.

3: Budget boost
There are big savings to be had in operational costs when shaving a day off the workweek. As of May, nine months into the program, Utah had saved $1.8 million.

4: Happier, healthier workforce
Lori Wadsworth, a researcher at Brigham Young University, surveyed Utah workers who’ve transitioned to the 4 x 10 schedule and found that 82 percent prefer it.

5: Economic stimulus through savings
It costs money to go to work—commuting expenses like gas, tolls, or public transit fares are obvious, but plenty of workers also pay for five days of childcare every week.

HP's Ridiculous Shipment Packaging: Chrixx ordered a 10 ft power cord from HP. The package arrived on a 10kg wooden pallet, directly from Inventec in Shanghai. See photos below.

Recently, I ordered a 10ft AC cord from HP for use with my power adaptor. For just one small piece of power plug, this is how it was delivered to me. In a 10kg wooden pallet, directly from Inventec in Shanghai.

This is simply ridiculous as the barely 300g box was contained within a larger box and strapped to a wooden pallet weighing more than the contents itself. DHL must have charged HP a lot for this shipment, so how could this even be cost effective.

I am kind of annoyed with HP as I had to drag this pellet from my apartment lobby, into the lift, out of the lift, into my home, cut it open, remove the contents and discard all the junk packaging. This is ultra fail for environmental conservation.

The man known as the “liberal lion of the Senate” had fought a more than year-long battle with brain cancer, and according to his son had lived longer with the disease than his doctors expected him to…

..A hardworking, well-liked politician who became the standard-bearer of his brothers’ liberal causes, his career was clouded by allegations of personal immorality and accusations that his family’s clout helped him avoid the consequences of an accident that left a young woman dead.
