Video Games Not The Cause Of Virginia Tech Killings


So video games didn't cause madman Seung-Hui Cho from shooting up Virginia Tech campus. That was the determination of a panel under Virginia Governor Tom Kaine. The only thing that this guy did was play was 'Sonic: The Hedgehog', study, and download music.

So it looks like the politicizations, lawyers, and all out asses will have to find another reason other than bad parenting for school shootings. Millions of kids play video games, watch movies, and listen to all kinds of music without violent issues. Maybe we should start looking in the one place that has the biggest influence in a kid's life, the parents!!!!

Prince Tells Music Industry To Bit Me


I love Prince!!! In a manly way though.

He's never saw eye to eye with the Music Industry for decades, and now he gives them the ultimate middle finger. Prince plans on giving away a free CD in a national British newspaper, to the dismay of many executives in the music industry. One Entertainment Retailers Association spokesman Paul Quirk stated:

'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince should know that with behavior like this he will soon be the Artist Formerly Available in Record Stores. And I say that to all the other artists who may be tempted to dally with the Mail on Sunday' he went on with this statement: "It would be an insult to all those record stores who have supported Prince throughout his career,"

What? I didn't know that the record stores were doing Prince a favor by selling and making money off of his talent. I love it when an artist says (I've got enough money, I'm going to give back to the fans who have supported me for a change).

Logitech Transporter Streams Beautiful Music: Cost to much


Those of you who like to drop tons of money on technology, you've come to the right post.

Logitech’s new Transporter Network Music Player, is said to deliver audiophile-quality sound from almost any source. Hook up an ethernet jack to the Transporter and you can stream music from any Mac or PC you have lying around the home.

You can output your tunes in a number of ways, thanks to the Transporter’s multiple analog and digital inputs and outputs.

It probably works well like past devices that company has made. Too bad it costs a staggering $1999.99 and absolutely no one will pay that much for a Logitech-brand product.
