Why do so many blogs suck?

Why is it that so many blogs out there suck? Is it because the people who write them are so full of themselves or what they are doing to think that other people find what they have to say important? Or is it that many of them are commercially backed in some way or another? Blogs are suppose to be this new citizen based media concept but now all the big blogs are backed by commercial interests and advertisers. They are just as bad as CNN or the NYtimes. Bloggers are now employed by corporations. Most of them work with the sole intention to create ad revenue. Now, to be honest if i had thousands of dollars rolling in I would write to support that ad revenue as well. I read techcrunch and blogs like that everyday and at times it makes me a bit sick see the blatant advertising on the right for the companies he's reviewing on the left. How do you say conflict of interest in geek speak?

Well those are just a few of my ideas about blogging.

They've hired vintage415.com to do the planning and have a couple DJ's from kmel doing the music. I've heard that all attendees will receive a year subscription to the site, other high end gifts will be given away as well.

There's also supposed to be a surprise musical guest performance at midnight but that name is under wraps. I do know that the musical guest is driving there from his/her house and is very famous. All the normal names will be in attendance, Larry, Sergy [sic], etc."

“24” STAR Kiefer Sutherland shocked staffers at the Ye Rustic Inn in Los Feliz, Calif., the other morning when he bellied up to the bar around 9 a.m. demanding to start a tab, reports SteppinÂ’ Out magazine. Editor Chaunce Hayden says the normally thick-waisted Sutherland looked rail-thin when he entered the tiny dive bar with a group of rowdy pals and ordered a round of drinks. According to witnesses, when presented with the bill, Sutherland claimed his wallet was “indisposed” - “It’s been stolen! I promise I’ll come back and pay. ” At that point, things got weird. “He started to go into a series of karate kicks in the middle of the floor while the bartender, waitress and several customers looked on, Hayden reports. Thankfully, a star-struck fan agreed to buy him several J&B’s on the rocks. After devouring a plate of chicken wings and littering the floor with bones, the star left without tipping. Sutherland, it turns out, was winding down from a very long night at the Drawing Room across the street. A rep for Sutherland did not respond to a call for comment." Read more-

An Apple cell phone? Why not?

An apple cell phone may be in the works but its a question of weather or not they want to piss of Motorola and find carriers to work with them (which I don't think would be a problem). Will it look like an apple though? That is the question!

Recent trademark filings by Apple is leading to speculation about the iPod maker's plans regarding the cellular phone market. Last week, Apple filed four applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the term "Mobile Me." According to the filings, Mobile Me relates to a number of goods and services, including "telecommunication services for the dissemination of information by mobile telephone, namely the transmission of data to mobile telephones" along with "music players," "digital video players," "MP3 players," and "software related thereto."

Will this become the MOST popular PDA?

I think the Motorola Q will be this years phone to watch. Im sure by this time next year Pairs Hilton will have gone through 5 of these and will be on something else (all that blow gets caught in the buttons).

Movies in the theater and on dvd at the same time

"The movie is Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh's "Bubble." But the persistent buzz around its release has less to do with the film's artistic merits than with the fact that it will be broadcast on the high-definition network HDNet the night of its full theatrical release, Jan. 27, and also made available on DVD just four days later. "

This is what is going to change the movie biz. For music, you get the cd, radio, music video all released at the same time and they still sell records. With the abundance of high end home theater gear, people will demand to watch the newest release in the comfort of there own Laz-e-boy! Read the article!

GM lowering prices- Get that Buick you always wanted

GM in light of its financial situation is lowering prices on 57 of its 76 models. I'm not sure if it will help but I do know that the problem isn't the price but the quality and design.
