Not sure I should admit this in public, but I had a bizarre dream last night involving headsets. A worldwide crisis had broken out because wireless headset users everywhere were receiving alarming alien messages from outer space over their headsets. Unfortunately, the phone here at TMC was ringing off the hook with peeved headset users asking us why we hadn't notified them that this was likely to happen with the purchase of a wireless headset.
There was even one PARTICULAR brand of headset involved, but diplomacy, not to mention personal dignity, will keep me from identifying the company.
The brain is a strange organ, no?

The Associated Press has revealed that it recently put a week-long media blackout on any and all Paris Hilton stories for a week. To see if anyone would notice. Apparently, not only did no one care, the only attention the move got was praise. I think AP should put it in place permanently. And extend it to Anna Nicole Smith and the small country of men claiming to have fathered her child, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and whatever other Hollywood Fluffy McBimbo (or Himbo, in the case of useless male celebrities) happens to spend way too much time in the news lately. In fact...I'd pay for a news site that vowed not to cover the intimate details of the untalented yet inexplicably famous.

Reading TMCnet's Beverly Maniago's article on the two MySpace hackers this morning made me angry. Not the article...the lack of jail time for these two bottom-feeders. The two young men, aged 19 and 20 (I erased the original description of the pair I typed), tried to extort money out of MySpace and threatened to distribute code that would allow users to track other users (potentially giving personal information to dangerous stalkers, criminals, child predators, rapists, etc.) The two were nabbed in a sting operation by the Secret Service. (Luckily, they were the stupid kind of criminals.)
They avoided jail time and ended up with community service and fines. I'm sorry...when the Secret Service had to get involved, post-conviction, these two should have received a trip to the hoosegow. They're not children and they weren't jaywalking. They were willing to cause a great deal of mayhem for money.
