Video: It's funny because this is EXACTLY what's happening 14 years later.

And don't tell me that's not true.

I love how people only care about the law when it involves their free music?

Yes. I'm a TAD bit concerned about the government when in control of ANYTHING in regard to the internet.

But HELLOO!

You all already allowed the government to have an internet shutoff switch.
You all already allowed the government to wire tap you
You all already allowed the government to enter your home without a warrant
You all already allowed the government to revoke habeas corpus.

(If you dont know what that was, I suggest you look it up)

You all already allowed the government to give children the HPV vaccine without their parent's consent.
(The same vaccine that killed more than 47 girls thus far.)
You all already allowed the government to test geoengineering by spreading chemicals on all of us.

(I can go on.)

Zipbuds: The best headphones under $50

It all started last Christmas. I was given a pair of Zipbud headphones. From that moment on, I would no longer use my perfectly functioning Skullcandys.

The zipper design was far more elegant than the cheapo branded ones you can buy at Walmart and the overly inflated ones you can buy from Bose. Plus, they extend far enough that you can actually SHARE headphones with someone else without worrying that you'll rip them out of the other person's ears god forbid you venture more than a foot from their head.

The bass, treble, etc...... Why comment on them! Obviously they surpass others if I'm writing an entire review on them!

Unforgettably, I plugged them into my ipod a few months ago and found them to be mute. When I contacted the company, they sent me a new pair right away. Another few months pass and once again, bad luck me. They quickly sent me a new pair! (I hope you're noticing a trend.) About a week ago, it happened again. I sent them all my previous pairs in attempt to diagnose why this was happening.

Meanwhile, they sent me their new version - which is better than all the rest!

Now don't mind me. I am an example of anecdotal evidence - Meaning that this is not a trend with other buyers.

What you should note however, is their amazing customer service. Plus, you should give it some thought to get yourself a pair. I may not be Cnet, Consumer Reports or Gizmodo, but damn it, these are the buds to buy! With any other company, I would have steered clear of getting a second pair. With Zipbuds, my sisters and cousins all have a pair. Now that's something.

Sincerely, a happy customer!

An old charm: Toshiba Portege M200 Tablet PC

Recently, I bought one of these laptops to fulfill my childhood dream of owning a Tablet PC.

Now, if you're trying to find a tablet PC under $100, this is the laptop to buy. (I got mine for $60 on ebay and  +$30 for the special stylus (NO, a DS stylus will  NOT work - lesson learned) and an IDE hard drive.) Just for   my own use, I bought 2 1GB RAM sticks for $15 each, but that's not at all required.

It's sad to me that a laptop once worth $2,450 USD is now worth barely an iPod.

Until I get the IDE hard drive in the mail, I've been running an Xubuntu live USB
(With no additional work to get the tablet to work!)

And you would think the battery would be crap by now, but I still get around 2 hours worth of use - that's actually more than one of the newer laptops in my household!

I'll be updating my journey with this laptop on the following permanent page (http://jcoinster.blogspot.com/p/my-tablet-pc-old-charm.html) as well as on future blog posts!
