I am not a big fan of organics. As I was mentioning to TJFKAK today, I think it’s a lame attempt to squeeze more money out of ignorant Americans by creating an artificial differentiator.
Are organic’s really healthier? Do they actually taste better? I mean, regular produce is healthy enough to be approved by the FDA, but not super duper healthy enough to called ‘organic.’ Am I getting that right?
Free range? Free range means that chickens that would normally spend their lives caged up have the opportunity for 20% of their life to exit outside through a small door.
Case in point, organic fake cheese from Kraft.

Is this what it’s come to tree huggers? Organic kraft singles. I mean, lets look at the ingredients on this thing:
Ingredients: ORGANIC CULTURED PASTEURIZED MILK, WATER, ORGANIC NONFAT MILK, SALT, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM CITRATE, LACTIC ACID, ANNATTO AND BETA CAROTENE (COLOR), ENZYMES.
Waaaaaaaiit just a second there Kraft. Where’s my organic Sodium and Calcium Phosphate? And is this free range annatoo and beta carotene, or was it caged up the whole time….come’on…tell me the truth.

I’m not a big myspacer by any means. I have no friends actually.
However, I’ve been getting friend requests in the last month constantly. Not from real friends, but from random hot girls that want to be my friends. Kind of like how when you first sit down in a strip club, every girl wants to talk to you.
Not only that, but I’ve been getting tons of random messages from people too.
Like this message from Steeeeeeeve:
“i usually hate spammers but they sent me this free ringtone site and it actually works. the ringtons are sick! check it out
http://www.RingSpace.net
lemme know if u like it “
Seems annoying, right? well Steeeeeve sent me this same message 8 times. That is annoying.
Myspace needs to start doing something about this crap. I don’t even use my profile actively and it’s annoying as fuck. It must be ten times as bad for people that actually use this piece of shit website.
That is all.

From Cnn.com.
Several weeks ago a black family in Toronto expressed their outrage after finding a tag on their sofa that described the sofa’s color as “nigger brown.”
It now seems Kingsoft Corp., a chinese software manufacturer was responsible for the tag. According to a representative for the company, Kingsoft’s translation software interpreted the chinese characters for “dark brown” as “nigger.” Kingston’s acceptance of responsibility follows a blame-game trail leading from Vanaik Furniture, who sold the sofa to the black family, to Vanaik’s supplier in Toronto, to a Chinese sofa manufacturer, and finally to Kingston.
And no suprise here, Doris Moore, who purchased the sofa, is consulting with a human rights lawyer and wants compensation. According to more, “I had friends over from St. Lucia yesterday and they wouldn’t sit on the couch.”
Even if the plastic wasn’t yet taken off? Man.
Sorry folks, but I have to call dark brown please on this one. A Chinese company made a translation error, hard to say that there’s any real damage, besides the cost of the sofa. Sure, Moore claims that reading the sofa label was the first time her 7 year old daughter ever was exposed to the word, but I’m sure she would have been exposed sooner or later when mom popped in fidy cent.
I mean, if this women can get money from this, I think I should get my lawyer. Sure, “nip” is no n-word, but I think I can get Kraft to settle. Do I have a case TJFKAK?

Gizmodo is reporting that they have an inside source that is saying that iphone will be delayed. Although I’m personally negative in regards to the iphone launch being completed on time, I have to admit that this recent publicity seems fishy. Anyone that follows Apple stock may have noticed that the stock sold off sharply this past Monday, does this mean something? I personally don’t know but it appears that many reporters, Gizmodo, Dvorak have been reporting potential future delays based on comments from unnamed sources. Is this evidence of a bear raid by short sellers? Very likely. But that isn’t necessarily a negative in itself, remember that short sellers provide a very important function in the marketplace they provide liquidity. Hopefully Apple management will step up and put a lot of these rumors to rest.
