DVD Software Illegal in the U.S.?
Wat the heck?
American software company RealNetworks has been banned from selling a program that lets people make copies of their DVDs, in a US court decision that could have far-reaching implications.

The ruling stops Real from selling RealDVD, a piece of software that allows to make back-up copies of their movie discs and save them to their computer.

Even the Pistons’ couldn’t make Detroit a happier city
I feel sorry for the people of Detroit. They are the ranked number one as the most dangerous city in America (as of 2009). Their economy is a mess with the “big three” having financial issues.
On top of that the Detroit Pistons are the first team to be eliminated from the 2009 NBA Playoffs. Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers took care of them today winning four games to zero in the first round series.
I think Kobe and Lebron will meet in the finals and that will be an amazing seven-game series.

SHout out to Farooq for showing me this, but it appears that the designers/developers decided to mimic my current blog theme on Michelle Obama’s blog.
Well they probably didn’t really copy, they probably just found the same theme as myself and edited it of course.
