She spent less than 2 weeks of her 3-month sentence and it makes national headlines? My goodness.
After serving 13 days of a three-month sentence in a Los Angeles county jail, Lindsay Lohan was released at 1:35 this morning and driven straight to a rehab facility. According to the Los Angeles Times, sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore confirmed that the 24-year-old actress would go straight to a court-ordered treatment facility upon release, but he would not name the program.
If she sued over the E*Trade commercial where a baby named “Lindsay” was portrayed as a “milk-a-holic”, I surely anticipate she will sue over this one. Except she will likely win. Silly Hustler, not getting approval..
It was only a matter of time and Hustler beat everyone to the punch with “Lindsay Goes to Jail”, a Lohan-themed adult film starring LiLo look-alike Scarlett Fay.
It reporteldy features Lindsay sexily flirting with a male judge, getting freaky in prison, and finally befriending a hot female corrections officer.
I wonder how much Lindsay will get paid through the courts from Hustler for this one.
Speaking of Darth Vader (see post below), I’m almost through my 7-movie Star Wars set at home. I went movie-chronological order, starting with the later trio of Episode I, II, and III — except I threw in the CGI ‘Clone Wars’ between II and III, and then continued with the old Episodes IV, V, and tonight (or this weekend) I’ll finish off with The Return of the Jedi, Episode VI.
As such, I found the post regarding the iPhone 4, and also this Darth-Vader-bank-robbery to be quite humorous.
Regardless of what you think about the whole iPhone 4 antenna debate, there’s no denying that it’s fueling a massive amount of creativity on the Internet.
My three favorite lines from this video:
After seeing photos of an iPhone bursting into flames (faulty USB connection port on the phone) and the myriad of antennae problems and “fixes”, it’s safe to say the new iPhone 4 was never tested.
I am, however, loving the new operating system that I upgraded to on my iPhone 3GS (which still works wonderfully, by the way). So in a way, the latest iPhone was a complete success for everyone, minus those that actually purchased the new phone.
Have a laugh with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates!
OK go’s drummer Dan (Danimal) vs Animal from The Muppets — staring contest, who wins?!?
Here’s what one blogger learned watching OK Go shoot this video:
1) When the Muppets are ready to stop performing (at least in a setting like the Webbys) before the puppeteer takes his hand out of the muppet, someone puts a black satin bag over the Muppet, so no one has the unpleasant experience of seeing the Muppet lifeless. I think maybe that’s for our sake, not for the Muppets’.
2) Those Muppet guys are geniuses. I mean you know that already, but to see them lying under a desk actually DOING it, ad-libbing the big eye blinks after the staring contest, which is such a fantastic piece of character work and comedy, it’s very exciting.
3) Zach Galifianakis: What a nice man, to be waiting backstage at the Webbys and allow himself to be dragged into this kind of thing by a group of complete strangers. Afterward, I talked to him about chicken farming in North Carolina, which apparently is our one mutual interest.
Paris Hilton was arrested in Port Elizabeth after the Netherlands’ defeat of Brazil in the quarter-finals of the tournament. She appeared at a special court on Friday evening.
A friend of Ms Hilton with her at the stadium was found guilty of marijuana possession, her publicist said. Ms Hilton’s friend was sentenced to pay a fine or spend 30 days in jail, it was reported. Ms Hilton appeared in the court wearing a beige dress and a glittery necklace with her hair in two ponytails, a reporter said.
Her publicist told the Reuters news agency that she had been questioned by police but no charges had been brought. ”I can confirm that the incident was a complete misunderstanding and it was actually another person in the group who did it. The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made,” Ms Hilton’s spokeswoman said.
After her release she posted a note on the social networking site Twitter saying: “I was assisting the police with the investigation and answering their questions.” In 2007 a US court sentenced her to 45 days in prison for drunk and reckless driving. After serving 25 days in jail she told US talk show host Larry King that she had re-evaluated her life and wanted to do more charity work and less partying.
View this cute text-to-speech video about how good the new iPhone 4 is. I got a kick out of it, my coworker got a kick out of it, and I’m about to listen to it again.
There’s some pretty hilarious quotes. See how ignorant some Apple-lovers can be!
Enjoy!~
As per Steve Jobs, there is nothing wrong with the reception on the iPhone 4. You’re just holding the phone wrong. All of us, who have had iPhones for several years, have been holding them wrong this whole time. It all makes sense now!
Depending on how you hold your iPhone 4 during calls you may or may not notice your reception drop. Some haven’t seen it at all, but many users have definitely experienced it while browsing, emailing or using apps. Some think it has a bit to do with your initial reception and people in stronger coverage areas are affected less. But they’re also pretty sure — and Apple confirms it — that touching the antenna does affect things — whether or not it has the final result of killing calls or speed of data connection.
Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone.With our past devices, the antenna performance when the phone was held in a certain way didn’t seem to be an issue or stand out in particular. But with the iPhone 4 we’re definitely seeing an effect, particularly when using data or tapping away on our on-screen keyboards.
This is all becoming clearer and clearer! Apple has explained that the iPhone 4 reception issues end when people just plain stop holding their devices the wrong way. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band.This explanation does fit with the user reportsthat have been sent, but the solution isn’t exactly comfortable. It’s awkward to avoid touching the antenna points on the iPhone — especially because the glass on the phone’s back and front is extremely slippery. The bottom portion of the phone just seems like a natural place to hold the iPhone 4 in order to avoid dropping the gadget. The additional problem is that when you hold a phone for data usage — browsing or apps or email — you’re going to almost have to touch the bottom and sides at the same time. Especially in landscape mode. This is a major problem for smartphones.
There are solutions to this, however. Using a case for the phone, which you should do anyhow, will help you in not making contact with the antennae bands. Fortunately you will only have to shell out about another $30 for such a case, for a problem that Apple should have initially addressed.
Some folks report that they’ve successfully rid themselves of reception issues by wrapping a rubber band or wristband around their iPhones. It’s not exactly a great solution as you have to cut holes into the band in order to access the charging port or volume-toggle—not to mention that all your buttons are constantly pressed down. It’s a cheap solution though and simple enough to use in a pinch. Just be careful that you don’t accidentally fling your iPhone across your room like some did while trying to test this solution.
Alternatively, the easiest way is just to not hold the phone at all. If all else fails, you can just plain avoid touching your iPhone. Use a rubber band to attach it to your head, leave it speaker phone, use a headset, use the included earbuds, or learn to levitate it. It’s an awful solution, but it’s there as a very last resort.

Unfortunately, there are no plans to distribute the delicious breakfast treat!
Rocco Loosbrock of BaconToday says:
“It was just kind of a joke that’s gotten a lot of attention. Neil submitted this to us, and we put out his photos on our Web site. It’s gotten a lot of attention, and a million page views. It’s unique and fun. We’ll keep on the case, though, and see if we can’t get you a recipe for this colorful concoction.“
