Historic ‘Blockbuster’ Store Offers Glimpse Of How Movies Were Rented In The Past


Historic â��Blockbusterâ�� Store Offers Glimpse Of How Movies Were Rented In The Past 

I thought that some of you would get a kick out of watching this video from "The Onion News Network".  Its pretty hilarious, and points out (rather sarcastically)that Blockbusters and record stores, etc.  are really starting to become extinct due to businesses online that make renting videos and buying music online, a lot simpler. Although its sad to see some of these businesses go,  it may in the end work out for the better.   

World of Warcraft is getting safer

Wowlogo Well at lest Blizzard, hopes that it will become safer with the introduction of there new "Blizzard® Authenticator".  What is it?  Well, its a key fob device (that can be purchased for $6.50 from Blizzard's Online store), that randomly generates a six-digit number when a button on the device is pressed.  This number is then used in conjunction with your log In ID and password when logging into World of Warcraft.  Without this number  you will not be able to log into your account. (I'm assuming if you bought one of these devices, as Blizzard calls it an "optional security measure").  The number that is generated is only useful once and is only valid for a short period of time. 

So in other words, its similar to the "Paypal Security Key".    As for if it is as secure, as Paypal's "Security Key", only time will tell.  What I do know is that is will, help people who had there account hacked or knows someone that had their account hacked to, feel more secure every time they log in to their account.

So What if John McCain Called his Wife a 'Cunt'?

In the last couple of weeks, a story has been coming out that John McCain, called his wife a 'cunt' during a tv appearence.  The video posted below attempts to make light of it and actually encourages us to make this story news.  Which I don't think it should be.

Now I thought I should start by saying that I don't think John McCain was right in calling his wife a 'cunt'.  I don't think that it is the right way for a man to address his wife.  Having said that, the point still remains that it happened 16 years ago.  If it was last week he had said this or a few weeks ago, I would be able to see the need to talk about this, but 16 years after the fact, I think it's a little extreme.  If you don't believe that it was that long ago just click on the video, so that you can go the the YouTube page and read the info. 

Its time for the story to die. People say stupid things when they are mad or arguing.  We shouldn't be holding it against them, as it appears his wife hasn't.  So if she can move on, so should we.
