Rumor: Sleeper FM Radio in iPod

Reports suggest that Apple is on the cusp of releasing an FM radio application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. And get this: it will be for the current models. Seems like it's too little too late... unless Apple is just doing it so they can say the iPod/iPhone has everything the Zune does.

Starcraft Player Can't Get Online So He Shanks Girl

An 18 year old Starcraft player's internet connection wouldn't work, so naturally he picked up a kitchen knife, walked out into the street, and stabbed a 15 year old girl. Great, now another reason for people to say video games make people violent. Blame it on the cable company, not the video games!

" War."

" Coming up this episode of Diggnation Marge Simpson is apparently."

" In Playboy is -- a turn on or is it not you have to tell us also -- that Carol. --"

" He loves his bread."

" Yeah."

" Ultimately they -- that number to 25 on camera and I -- already Michigan or some of the hottest users to ministers and social news website Digg.com. And now it's it's sunny. And as I'm sure you guys can tell. I am not using my laptop I'm using this Nokia. Booklet three genes. Which had to say extremely small and easy to ridiculously. Light and small running windows seven super excited so -- I'm using three G. Is it really is me laptops this is his reversed on lovers so I guess they used to make computer before them and cellphones back in like the eighties. Yes it is gonna be coming out. Dad assuming a more info on it later in the show it's just -- around this simple around him knew him check it out all right so."

" Let's. Get in the show both -- challenge so quickly elements first or that it is is something really interesting I submitted to Digg actually. Why I started shouldn't have to pay to pitch Angel investors with 370 gigs -- this the thing missing on like wildfire on Twitter."

" I'm Jason Calacanis has been gone back with a bunch of different companies right so basically what happened is he found out."

" That there are a handful. Of Angel investors. And I innocent in quotes because they're more like investor groups are no one actually knows. Who they are what they do this time like. A group will approach an entrepreneur and say hey we've got some potential he sees an Angel delight to invest in your hand out -- Would you like to come in pitch to you our group of people look back and so. Didn't even on the road within we have some discussions I mean let's go back and forth and assailed by the way it's gonna cost you you know 10000 dollars. Tim -- she has to pitch."

" ST here's where I got confused because I thought he was going out there -- exhibitions sort of like the techcrunch fifty. So that's -- auditions will let it sounds to me like that's more like is an exhibitionist you comin' tells later companies like him in we will invest or not."

" Right I mean it's and it's not like a big gathering like a techcrunch fifty -- but so like there's a couple of one series is Angel -- were investigating this is from Jason's blog. Yeah. There is a maverick angels private equity forums dot com -- super clogged the angels then UK. Insulator given example is when can cater to its."

" do -- or form so."

" Stunning 14500. To 25000. Dollars plus three to 5% of whatever you raise the matters that when you raise. And cheeses yet they it's it's pretty insane so I mean if you don't know how outcome is typically raise money you don't pay these these Angeles is anything. If they are privileged to be leaving just sit down with you hear your pitcher makes it a good idea and you want to -- advanced. Yeah and they gave you money. Right -- I don't like yeah email money if you're supposed to give you money not the -- around the I think that what what's happening here is that there are probably some entrepreneurs out there that don't have. You know a network of people that that the go to go pitch and hear about these these little groups organizations and think oh this is the way that -- get. Although the raise money but so they go out there and and you know would most likely they'll go in pitch in the get turned down. The angels walk away with you know 101520008. Most fashionable that sounds like a scam. Right right I mean I around what legally defines a scam that. That's what I would think this is what and so basically. What Jason is is pushing for here is he saying to recap. There is no circumstance where an Angel messenger should charge you start to pitch period of -- I. I'm so he's is basically asking for these games are groups to drop their fees it's ridiculous. Because of what's happening is you know you've got. The people with with all the money the angels they have a lot of cash for a actually making more money off of -- reviewers that they don't have and the cash and in most likely nine times it's and they're not gonna get any money from these people right so there's just basically doing in spending more of their life savings in Milwaukee -- it would not. Which is pretty sad. Genes that does sound pretty bad so anyway. And a plug Jason for her for -- going after this check out more calacanis dot com. And see how you can help out if you have any information there have been involved in anything like this it just seems so I'm weird that that people would think it that was normal home. Saying like wow I have no money so maybe I should pay somebody to see if they wanna give me money. So it really that you thought that was a good idea we hadn't had I think that they're just kind of what they're doing here is they're they're they're going after companies that really don't know any better writes I have new would be -- to reviewers alike won't guesses -- get started how you know I'm just it's just."

" Really sad that does suck. Well let's get to a letter -- show ways Marge Simpson in November's Playboy cover. War. 1600. I went out and secure and -- dinosaurs are gonna buy it Darth sand."

" You might have heard right Marge Simpson will be on addressing somewhere in November's Playboy issue nerds rejoice."

" So now this is an interesting. Thing for many reasons one. Sexy. Two of I I have an issue with Playboy has started doing this stuff. Where. They have people on the cover who can never show up nude in the book."

" Right -- X which is --"

" That seems like they shouldn't be able to do is act writing -- should almost be illegal if you're gonna be on the cover of Playboy or even anywhere near the cover of Playboy you've got to be -- that's what employee absolutely it's always contact Esquire. I mean. So I'm a little -- in the news I don't that's the thing is it going to be like. Some of the stuff they've been doing where it's just like all gonna celebrity be on the cover and they'd never -- in the book but we get to have them on the cover I think I think that's shouldn't be a lot. I agree I agree -- so the question is these are that is you know Mac running a fox and they really gonna actually have like. You'll need -- sims and in Playboy yeah."

" If so what you think about it. Well. I mean let's talk about is not that that we should they have a cartoon needed incentive Playboy we have cartoons -- all the time you were little cards in Verizon should they have like. You know -- celebrity a cartoon celebrity animal house."

" Think kids should really did is -- it considers Israelis and I can't channel. Right you know I yes and no -- to me like Israelis and South Park is not. Some and is not as -- South Park but it's not it's it's for -- kids can enjoy it but it's right now so."

" Right this is why did you mean I -- simple on the on the layer outside but there's a lot of identities easier if I'm sitting there and I am at a Barnes & -- are or whatever yeah store down the end I Z eighty point shot going in -- and I see margin the cover and I know that there's a neat feature inside their -- mortgage and I have heard about it. Into typical -- really mean is like saying because I'm just curious. I just haven't seen the new is likely to redraw like Bugs Bunny falcon Daffy Duck and whenever I answered that's -- now I'm sure that is appropriate and that you saw I mean I'm not -- that I like everyone's like C mag that the united -- Yeah. As I and there's there's (%expletive) like that on the Internet like everyone's coming out -- edge eyes. Thinking ads. That Charlie Brown and yeah yeah there is everybody's -- this to cartoons like there's there is things like that out there right. But this would be officially like Toronto it denizens yeah and now I just didn't. This isn't that's like how they would engage in her team to looking her or whatever little we -- do -- act. Whenever we are you going to screw top was actually on union. I mean that's sort of this is going to what I'm me."

" If I do you pick this up I'm going to go to get taken death is you actually naked because if not. The subject to be -- what -- something from public that's a couple months and a relative had people on the cover that aren't -- month there on elevated track and his mom the mom. Well this -- say it's because someone was on the cover that was easy gonna cut no outages all of our economic times. Yes it was all of a comic -- and I. Controversy good."

" Medium and -- on on the cover but of course was not."

" New inside and so there's a big push back from -- line and it was like she is. She's and -- I know she's got -- I believe I can honor went it didn't work out. Really. Sweet Alice."

" Yeah."

" So so -- do you think cartoon characters can be attractive yeah of course so if you look at her with my legislation they called wanna repeats."

" In my gets pierced or something fonts and so we need I think choice Marge Simpson. Would you be would you come back."

" That little bit."

" I don't know if the person has let me meeting June yeah into -- we GL would you be like wow that's a hot cartoon. One. Includes as -- put it would you rub one out. Tenacity and outlet in your needs and then if this thing -- thing you -- and I'm here in the eye and you on a medical running."

" Yeah I mean yeah that's all we're only -- is a new jetBlue here I really hate drying or not stick figures and an updated and are now. I'm -- like what the cartoons might -- would -- we have the right things it was doing some -- yeah I'd be in this case like that."

" Smart that would be Jessica Rabbit yet -- coming on in just a rabbit absolutely was it was really interesting -- CDC -- world. Brent and I never saw that the -- good now. But it had like adult themes like it was like a stripper to but it was all it is human got to -- supported until like it was basically."

" Who friend Roger Rabbit kind of rights. Yeah can -- it was -- man."

" Don't look up Simpsons make it online. Yes it has never been any really. I'm I have safe have Jessica Simpson did that's a difference yeah and then different Simpson. Yeah this is your fan -- and do Jessica Simpson is like. My -- to -- T. To the new way to be. I don't wanna -- the 3-D rendering out homers in a naked eye that you thought out and that's a brother -- then. Hello and love it. -- tool but again I'm gonna go see because. I don't know Playboy can only get away with sometimes. You know Tennessee flattening it on the cover and then not naked in -- in a magazine that's not what you do you have the -- get all high and mighty with your articles."

" Let's -- it. I don't think it's wolf report back on that yes we'll find books yes.

Reports suggest that Apple isn't arm is on the costs of releasing an FM radio application. For the iPod errands -- iPhone and iPod Touch and can get this. It will be for the current models."

Besides Prager and mine's on -- it's okay so good about it and good about okay. I I diesel -- it said it though they had neither a -- when the Zune added an iPod didn't it was sort of like oh yeah it's interesting. It has something that's -- but that's night. You know."

" I ladies abreast of what was an NPR Renault and your doesn't have to get over three G submitted this matter."

Which is awesome yeah I -- it in but that the if you lose the radio radio. -- little commercials they're doing so that right now they'd like and -- third song is like a commercial you know him when he goes on for like three minutes."

" And -- for me. I don't listen to music on the radio at all why I only listen to and PR just talk radio and I need to find a nice talk radio station. This sort of like NPR but doesn't do music stuff for what's so one thing have who have prairie home companion. 'cause she was up in the face when the weekends happening I'm like I'm I was going on news lies. It's a prairie home companion on NPR on KCRW or -- and the other one.

It's pretty amiga -- Unlike most people think piracy is not necessarily a bad thing for copyright holders in fact. German pirate tracking outfit DG right solutions. Shows that copyright holders can turn a 150 times more money. From illicit downloads. Then from iTunes and other legal stores so this is a little bit of what I would call word trickery. Frankly what you think it's not an album don't you blew it on the ground -- (%expletive) -- to me and we did this it will cause you. It. It's like trying to -- haven't gotten -- So does your email your thing going tight in them and I don't try it here here I'll fix it. That letter we get cat so here's the point of this story. So there are companies. That will. Basically track illegal downloads. To the source then get in touch with the copyright holders and say hey. -- Paramount or Warner Bros. This guy was downloading you alarm movie if you would like we could take legal action against this person on your behalf and seek damages. Rights and and they go all right. So they go and basically. Hand them some -- says hey -- guess what we know you're legally downloading stuff. You can onetime get out of jail free card right now you pay us what's the equivalent of 650. Dollars per infringement. Now and we will not go to the FBI and press charges you go to jail. Most people that are caught 80% of the people that are caught doing messed pay the money I get a better idea Britain or not. Then. 20% of that money goes to the company that does all this -- 80% goes to the copyright holder so the copyright holder is making a 150 times. On -- dumb enough money will be to sell that movie. Being downloaded illegally and they spread out over the number of people that are downloading illegal and the percentage of people that are actually. Doing this get out of jail free card and the company overall is making a 150 times what it would make it all of this people just downloaded illegally so I know. I was going on is I've got I've got even better a better way go to this."

" Ultimately they -- that number to 25 on camera and I -- already Michigan or some of the hottest users to ministers and social news website Digg.com. And now it's it's sunny. And as I'm sure you guys can tell. I am not using my laptop I'm using this Nokia. Booklet three genes. Which had to say extremely small and easy to ridiculously. Light and small running windows seven super excited so -- I'm using three G. Is it really is me laptops this is his reversed on lovers so I guess they used to make computer before them and cellphones back in like the eighties. Yes it is gonna be coming out. Dad assuming a more info on it later in the show it's just -- around this simple around him knew him check it out all right so."

" Let's. Get in the show both -- challenge so quickly elements first or that it is is something really interesting I submitted to Digg actually. Why I started shouldn't have to pay to pitch Angel investors with 370 gigs -- this the thing missing on like wildfire on Twitter."

" I'm Jason Calacanis has been gone back with a bunch of different companies right so basically what happened is he found out."

" That there are a handful. Of Angel investors. And I innocent in quotes because they're more like investor groups are no one actually knows. Who they are what they do this time like. A group will approach an entrepreneur and say hey we've got some potential he sees an Angel delight to invest in your hand out -- Would you like to come in pitch to you our group of people look back and so. Didn't even on the road within we have some discussions I mean let's go back and forth and assailed by the way it's gonna cost you you know 10000 dollars. Tim -- she has to pitch."

" ST here's where I got confused because I thought he was going out there -- exhibitions sort of like the techcrunch fifty. So that's -- auditions will let it sounds to me like that's more like is an exhibitionist you comin' tells later companies like him in we will invest or not."

" Right I mean it's and it's not like a big gathering like a techcrunch fifty -- but so like there's a couple of one series is Angel -- were investigating this is from Jason's blog. Yeah. There is a maverick angels private equity forums dot com -- super clogged the angels then UK. Insulator given example is when can cater to its."

" do -- or form so."

" Stunning 14500. To 25000. Dollars plus three to 5% of whatever you raise the matters that when you raise. And cheeses yet they it's it's pretty insane so I mean if you don't know how outcome is typically raise money you don't pay these these Angeles is anything. If they are privileged to be leaving just sit down with you hear your pitcher makes it a good idea and you want to -- advanced. Yeah and they gave you money. Right -- I don't like yeah email money if you're supposed to give you money not the -- around the I think that what what's happening here is that there are probably some entrepreneurs out there that don't have. You know a network of people that that the go to go pitch and hear about these these little groups organizations and think oh this is the way that -- get. Although the raise money but so they go out there and and you know would most likely they'll go in pitch in the get turned down. The angels walk away with you know 101520008. Most fashionable that sounds like a scam. Right right I mean I around what legally defines a scam that. That's what I would think this is what and so basically. What Jason is is pushing for here is he saying to recap. There is no circumstance where an Angel messenger should charge you start to pitch period of -- I. I'm so he's is basically asking for these games are groups to drop their fees it's ridiculous. Because of what's happening is you know you've got. The people with with all the money the angels they have a lot of cash for a actually making more money off of -- reviewers that they don't have and the cash and in most likely nine times it's and they're not gonna get any money from these people right so there's just basically doing in spending more of their life savings in Milwaukee -- it would not. Which is pretty sad. Genes that does sound pretty bad so anyway. And a plug Jason for her for -- going after this check out more calacanis dot com. And see how you can help out if you have any information there have been involved in anything like this it just seems so I'm weird that that people would think it that was normal home. Saying like wow I have no money so maybe I should pay somebody to see if they wanna give me money. So it really that you thought that was a good idea we hadn't had I think that they're just kind of what they're doing here is they're they're they're going after companies that really don't know any better writes I have new would be -- to reviewers alike won't guesses -- get started how you know I'm just it's just."

" Really sad that does suck. Well let's get to a letter -- show ways Marge Simpson in November's Playboy cover. War. 1600. I went out and secure and -- dinosaurs are gonna buy it Darth sand."

" You might have heard right Marge Simpson will be on addressing somewhere in November's Playboy issue nerds rejoice."

" So now this is an interesting. Thing for many reasons one. Sexy. Two of I I have an issue with Playboy has started doing this stuff. Where. They have people on the cover who can never show up nude in the book."

" Right -- X which is --"

" That seems like they shouldn't be able to do is act writing -- should almost be illegal if you're gonna be on the cover of Playboy or even anywhere near the cover of Playboy you've got to be -- that's what employee absolutely it's always contact Esquire. I mean. So I'm a little -- in the news I don't that's the thing is it going to be like. Some of the stuff they've been doing where it's just like all gonna celebrity be on the cover and they'd never -- in the book but we get to have them on the cover I think I think that's shouldn't be a lot. I agree I agree -- so the question is these are that is you know Mac running a fox and they really gonna actually have like. You'll need -- sims and in Playboy yeah."

" If so what you think about it. Well. I mean let's talk about is not that that we should they have a cartoon needed incentive Playboy we have cartoons -- all the time you were little cards in Verizon should they have like. You know -- celebrity a cartoon celebrity animal house."

" Think kids should really did is -- it considers Israelis and I can't channel. Right you know I yes and no -- to me like Israelis and South Park is not. Some and is not as -- South Park but it's not it's it's for -- kids can enjoy it but it's right now so."

" Right this is why did you mean I -- simple on the on the layer outside but there's a lot of identities easier if I'm sitting there and I am at a Barnes & -- are or whatever yeah store down the end I Z eighty point shot going in -- and I see margin the cover and I know that there's a neat feature inside their -- mortgage and I have heard about it. Into typical -- really mean is like saying because I'm just curious. I just haven't seen the new is likely to redraw like Bugs Bunny falcon Daffy Duck and whenever I answered that's -- now I'm sure that is appropriate and that you saw I mean I'm not -- that I like everyone's like C mag that the united -- Yeah. As I and there's there's (%expletive) like that on the Internet like everyone's coming out -- edge eyes. Thinking ads. That Charlie Brown and yeah yeah there is everybody's -- this to cartoons like there's there is things like that out there right. But this would be officially like Toronto it denizens yeah and now I just didn't. This isn't that's like how they would engage in her team to looking her or whatever little we -- do -- act. Whenever we are you going to screw top was actually on union. I mean that's sort of this is going to what I'm me."

" If I do you pick this up I'm going to go to get taken death is you actually naked because if not. The subject to be -- what -- something from public that's a couple months and a relative had people on the cover that aren't -- month there on elevated track and his mom the mom. Well this -- say it's because someone was on the cover that was easy gonna cut no outages all of our economic times. Yes it was all of a comic -- and I. Controversy good."

" Medium and -- on on the cover but of course was not."

" New inside and so there's a big push back from -- line and it was like she is. She's and -- I know she's got -- I believe I can honor went it didn't work out. Really. Sweet Alice."

" Yeah."

" So so -- do you think cartoon characters can be attractive yeah of course so if you look at her with my legislation they called wanna repeats."

" In my gets pierced or something fonts and so we need I think choice Marge Simpson. Would you be would you come back."

" That little bit."

" I don't know if the person has let me meeting June yeah into -- we GL would you be like wow that's a hot cartoon. One. Includes as -- put it would you rub one out. Tenacity and outlet in your needs and then if this thing -- thing you -- and I'm here in the eye and you on a medical running."

" Yeah I mean yeah that's all we're only -- is a new jetBlue here I really hate drying or not stick figures and an updated and are now. I'm -- like what the cartoons might -- would -- we have the right things it was doing some -- yeah I'd be in this case like that."

" Smart that would be Jessica Rabbit yet -- coming on in just a rabbit absolutely was it was really interesting -- CDC -- world. Brent and I never saw that the -- good now. But it had like adult themes like it was like a stripper to but it was all it is human got to -- supported until like it was basically."

" Who friend Roger Rabbit kind of rights. Yeah can -- it was -- man."

" Don't look up Simpsons make it online. Yes it has never been any really. I'm I have safe have Jessica Simpson did that's a difference yeah and then different Simpson. Yeah this is your fan -- and do Jessica Simpson is like. My -- to -- T. To the new way to be. I don't wanna -- the 3-D rendering out homers in a naked eye that you thought out and that's a brother -- then. Hello and love it. -- tool but again I'm gonna go see because. I don't know Playboy can only get away with sometimes. You know Tennessee flattening it on the cover and then not naked in -- in a magazine that's not what you do you have the -- get all high and mighty with your articles."

" Let's -- it. I don't think it's wolf report back on that yes we'll find books yes. All right next -- the day rumor Apple to switch on sleeping FM radio in iPhone and iPods minutes Friday in new his monster with 1104. Gigs. Reports suggest that Apple isn't arm is on the costs of releasing an FM radio application. For the iPod errands -- iPhone and iPod Touch and can get this. It will be for the current models."

" So alone before we didn't dive too deep into what the hell -- about. Do you really need an FM radio on your device. Coming into -- use FM radio it's add on their found. Besides Prager and mine's on -- it's okay so good about it and good about okay. I I diesel -- it said it though they had neither a -- when the Zune added an iPod didn't it was sort of like oh yeah it's interesting. It has something that's -- but that's night. You know."

" I ladies abreast of what was an NPR Renault and your doesn't have to get over three G submitted this matter."

" Yeah naming but if I was I had pandora on the iPhone and a and it's like that's good enough drama music and there's no commercial -- in there and it's like. -- I don't know if you're trying very terrorism link there that I just got flight I have serious X in my car that. Which is awesome yeah I -- it in but that the if you lose the radio radio. -- little commercials they're doing so that right now they'd like and -- third song is like a commercial you know him when he goes on for like three minutes."

" And -- for me. I don't listen to music on the radio at all why I only listen to and PR just talk radio and I need to find a nice talk radio station. This sort of like NPR but doesn't do music stuff for what's so one thing have who have prairie home companion. 'cause she was up in the face when the weekends happening I'm like I'm I was going on news lies. It's a prairie home companion on NPR on KCRW or -- and the other one.

And I'm telling -- wants on science in which is really nice and it's it's all the music you want like is on the island is just a fifth France and then there's also couple NPR stations that they cover all that stuff."

" That's cool it's good I dig that."

" Anyway so what's so basically there's a transceiver they're saying there is -- FM transceiver already within the devices like Netanyahu. And it -- line I don't I will say in this is really kind of funny. And I -- been called immediate months ago about two years they got a year and a half ago and my iPhone rumor guy at the moment that got all the (%expletive) right that I don't really talk to anymore yeah he was like.

" It's a plant can is is it's gonna it's been like in my ear for like an hour an add on but again."

" The which add can't flak jacket had literally. So basically. He's only -- sounds like adding incurable reported is a rumor Kazan who cares and a in less well I like the tagging the song feature.

But I mean cool one that I liked his idea kind of like dormant. Things like saying me too and I liked at all here it and you're like yeah we could -- isn't it isn't that just came out oh what they did one out to space heater. Like how. We technically we need oh yeah wean him six. Sandra W -- Illegal downloads. 150. Times more profitable than illegal sales. Unlike most people think piracy is not necessarily bad a bad thing for copyright holders in fact. As we -- as -- consult -- eating a bush is not a good idea. Citizens of this. We're not nerds to upholstery multiple -- She's got this bite isn't gonna pop it back coming rapid growth. -- can break up plan evidently for conservative earlier and I just leave it leave it it'll actually championing it this is gonna have not it's gonna do is sit at the project. Let me continue reading has flatly guys carrying eyes there's like five guys are not -- Internet yeah I wonder is that yet. It's pretty amiga -- Unlike most people think piracy is not necessarily a bad thing for copyright holders in fact. German pirate tracking outfit DG right solutions. Shows that copyright holders can turn a 150 times more money. From illicit downloads. Then from iTunes and other legal stores so this is a little bit of what I would call word trickery. Frankly what you think it's not an album don't you blew it on the ground -- (%expletive) -- to me and we did this it will cause you. It. It's like trying to -- haven't gotten -- So does your email your thing going tight in them and I don't try it here here I'll fix it. That letter we get cat so here's the point of this story. So there are companies. That will. Basically track illegal downloads. To the source then get in touch with the copyright holders and say hey. -- Paramount or Warner Bros. This guy was downloading you alarm movie if you would like we could take legal action against this person on your behalf and seek damages. Rights and and they go all right. So they go and basically. Hand them some -- says hey -- guess what we know you're legally downloading stuff. You can onetime get out of jail free card right now you pay us what's the equivalent of 650. Dollars per infringement. Now and we will not go to the FBI and press charges you go to jail. Most people that are caught 80% of the people that are caught doing messed pay the money I get a better idea Britain or not. Then. 20% of that money goes to the company that does all this -- 80% goes to the copyright holder so the copyright holder is making a 150 times. On -- dumb enough money will be to sell that movie. Being downloaded illegally and they spread out over the number of people that are downloading illegal and the percentage of people that are actually. Doing this get out of jail free card and the company overall is making a 150 times what it would make it all of this people just downloaded illegally so I know. I was going on is I've got I've got even better a better way go to this."

" Okay okay so imagine this. I just downloaded this -- for season of mad men dice can illegally."

" On. Now confirming nice -- on the left the -- I did. --"

" I moved you know that makes it look hypothetical hypothetically yesterday I downloaded illegally madman that the unity that -- one."

" So let's say I'm sitting there I've watched it hasn't been doing a lot traveling recently automatically have that."

" Same material out hypothetical travel right. And I get back to my house and I have a little -- in the mail they send you a Cyrus is you download is illegal we need owning it you have two choices -- One prosecution you can pay us a strain of the right right yeah something something like say fifty dollars. And a generous ordering the dvd is probably 99 and onto or for sixty dollars like something a little bit higher will -- need the dvd boxed set. In now you just got to (%expletive) box as probably three times in the military aid wore neither option and we'll see your ass. So there's really -- options on the."

" So I --"

" Thing -- like she had a guy really is a fogdog. Yes I did download it I enjoyed this and ideally I'd check."

" Check blogs I thought sort of like they note."

" If -- like like BS -- box is basically like to sing threatening letters you get when you sense for them like you get 25 CDs for the price of one yeah I had to buy ten throughout the course of the year and in canceling time. Second scheme usually feel to it yeah -- right in the need is the thing that I will take the box sent. Plus 33 CDs and they might incentive to use the box and you get three CC in your arms and no I didn't look awesome nightly news is that you caught in yes I want the box."

" I like it done on down. It's a -- center. It is better than you we got you we can either. -- to pay us money and it's like well okay -- need and those are good options but is that we -- yeah UPS might or you Basil more and one actually sending a dvd. That if I inherited so it's like a bonus exactly and really you're just doing."

" Lettuce is less work for me it doesn't seem as threatening now when you right to know is like wow iPod doubt they'll think at the box.

Alright.. since the thread hasn't been posting yet I'm asking the obvious question of.. where was said threatening letter? I heard nothing threatening in that episode.. though when he was gnawing at the plant while Alex was trying to explain that story, it was mildly humorous.

Source of the stracraft story:
http://www.metro.se/2009/10/08/79624/dataspelet-kranglade-da-ville-pojken-/

Actually never heard of this, it's rather old news tho (2009-10-08 12:54).
What the news forgot to translate was probably this:

"18-åringen mådde dåligt och hans tankar blev ännu mörkare när internetuppkopplingen bröts och han inte kunde fortsätta krigsspelet ”Starcraft”."

---

"The 18 year old was not feeling well his thoughts became "darker" when his internet connection got disconnected and he could not keep on playing the war-game "Starcraft"."

The media sorta puts it like it's the starcrafts fault at the beginning but it was his mental health that got in his way.
And the 15 year old was just passing buy as you mentioned.

The crime was announced as "attempt of murder" (dunno what it's called in English tbh) and not Murder.
Murder is when you plan it ahead and the other is when it's like, "oh fuck i feal like killing someone.. AAAARGH!".

Anyway, great episode : )

This is probably manslaughter in English (though I think the crime would have been attempted murder?), thanks for the translation :)

And yeah, where was the threatening letter?

That small nokia netbook made alex look beefy by comparison.

I also enjoyed the call at the end. So humorous

The call at the end was quite humorous. It drives me insane when those people don't answer their phones. If I had something worth of mailing in to them I would TOOOOTALLY do it and then answer my phone for the next week even if they were all just bill collectors. Kevin and Alex rule and so does Alex's rendition of Lady in Red hah!!

Oh and as for that company that sues people for the media companies.. that can totally be beaten. If someone were to ever tell me that they knew I was downloading stuff illegally I would tell them I had an unsecure network(wireless router) and to bring on the lawsuit then I'd make a backup copy of whatever file it was I downloaded and delete all traces off of my computer. Can't have a court case without evidence :)

If you're making a backup copy you're better off just leaving the file on your hard drive. They both work as evidence. Also, deleteing the file isn't enough. At the very least you want to zero your drive. If you're super paranoid, zero the drive, expose it to strong moving electromagnets, then take the platters out and grind them to dust. It works for the british government :D

anyone else feel like kevin's being super rude when he stares at something on his computer when alex is trying to make a point to him or just telling an amusing story?

i feel like i do the same thing to my girlfriend when she's telling me what happened to her at work, but seeing what kevin looks like on tape makes me feel like a jerk.

it's COMPLETELY obvious when your attention is on your laptop and alex is looking to your face for visual cues that his story is sinking in.
