Death by music

Posted on March 11, 2004 by Mike


This can’t be true, but a dark comedic story…

A woman recently gave the world a new thing to kill people with, an iPod. After the boyfriend, who sounds like a real pussy, told her that her music collection was illegal and then he promptly deleted it…all of it. So she over powered the little pussy and killed him with her iPod. When the cops got there, she confessed.

According to law officers, Mathers was hysterical when police arrived and told them that she killed her boyfriend only after he accused her of illegally downloading music and erased about 2,000 of her MP3s. Mathers complained that it took 3 months to build her music collection. An autopsy performed Friday afternoon at Methodist Hospital showed that Brad Pulaski had been beat multiple times in the face and chest by a blunt metal object, and died of internal bleeding, said Dr. Felix Klamut, deputy coroner. According to Apple’s website, the iPod is partially made of a hard metal plate that’s been praised for it’s resistance to regular wear and tear, like drops and coffee spills. “It took him a while to die,” Dr. Klamut said. “She must have stabbed him 40 to 80 times with that iPod. His death was not instantaneous, that’s for sure”

Slow news day

Posted on March 8, 2004 by Mike

If you have been wondering why I’m been crappy with the updates lately there are 2 reasons: 1. I’m lazy 2. Its been kinda slow on the news front and eveything I thought about thinking to tell you all sounded boring. Let me just give you a quick run-down (click the links for sources):

Tech Stuff:
- Apple confirms Xserve G5 delay
- iTunes song-swapping helper app disappears from the web

Baseball stuff (which is just as important as tech news):
- The Yankee’s 200 million team takes its first major hit this season
- Peter Gammons did a great peice on Abert Pujols today
- Ted Williams’ son died, and is (surprise!) frozen too.

I’m trying to find the hate-filled quote that John Henry Williams’ (see link above) brother-in-law said about the recently deceased. That guy just really didn’t like John Henry and I wanted to share it with you. I’m still looking.

Anyway, thats the news. I’ll try to do better in the future for those of you that read this site.

I saw this on gadgetopia today and I just had to pass this along, but I’m too lazy to re-write it:


Be Careful What You Google


It might just get your mother arrested.

According to an LA Times story (requires registration) a 17 year old kid in California did a Google search on his own name and found himself on a missing kids list. Turns out that in 1989 his dad was given custody of him after a divorce, but apparently mom wasn’t happy with the situation, so soon after she skipped the country (Canada) during a visit, with the kid.

The dad notified authorities, but mom was successful in evading the Canadian authorities, and was living peacefully with their son as a legal immigrant in the LA area.

The teen, according to the U.S. Marshals Service, told a teacher about what he discovered on a website devoted to missing children. That set in motion a federal investigation that ended with the arrest of his mother last week and ignited hopes among his father’s family of a reunion they feared might never happen.
Now the traumatized 17 year old is in the custody of the LA County Children and Family Services Department, waiting to be reunited with the dad he doesn’t know. Mom was arrested and is awaiting extradition to the Great White North to face child abduction charges.

Ok, how many have googled your own name, and actually found something?

Sorry if the guys at Gadgetopia are angry about this, but I’m lazy.
