.51 Caters to Femgeeks
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Internet,
Watch out, Mascugeeks. There is a new Femgeek in town. Not long ago, we met Maria Webster. It is really refreshing to find other females who are geekily inclined, (not that we don’t adore our male counterparts,) so we chatted with the development engineer/webmistress about her new site .51 aka Geekspace for Women. The site, up since May, features what “geeky women are doing/building/making/hacking right now.” By the way, Maria came up with the name after reading that women are 51% of the population and may soon be taking over the Internet.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, FOX, NBC, The CW, TNT-HD, UPN, WB, The O.C., Internet,
If you’ve found yourself without a plan on this Labor Day Weekend, there’s a new way to keep yourself busy online.
Earlier this week, viewers of the old WB were given a free way to watch some of their now-cancelled shows. At TheWB.com, fans can access programs just like they would on any other network-sponsored site. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Smallville, Angel, Everwood, Roswell, One Tree Hill and Gilmore Girls are amongst the selections offered.
Meanwhile, other shows that didn’t originate on the WB (but were produced by Warner Bros.) are also included on the site. That list is comprised of such titles as Friends, The O.C., Veronica Mars, Babylon 5 and Firefly.
Although the number of episodes are currently limited, fresh hours will be posted weekly.

People Pays Brangelina $14 Million for Twin Pics
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Style, Charity, Kind Acts, Photos, Rumors,
After leaving Brangelina fans on the edge of their seats (myself included) for weeks without seeing their twins, the couple have decided that it is finally time to introduce them to the world.
Much to no one’s surprise, People magazine won the bidding rights to the twins’ photo shoot in the U.S. and Canada, and Hello! magazine won the international rights. Although there has been no official release as to the amount, sources have claimed the figure is around $14 million.
Compared to previous biddings on babies like their older sister Shiloh ($4 million) and Jennifer Lopez’s twins ($6 million), the Jolie-Pitt twins have definitely set a new record for costing a magazine so much.

Cuil Search Engine, Better Than Google?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet,
Former Google employee Anna Patterson’s search engine is alive. Cuil (pronounced “cool”) was released this week and supposedly can search 120 billion Web pages. She says that it is at least 3 times the size of Google, although that company says that they scan 1 trillion. Whoever is right, we like the idea of a search engine that uses actual content rather than ranking quantity and quality of links, as well as one that will not retain our histories or patterns. We gave it a test drive and think that Cuil is indeed very kewl.

Maury’s Baby Maker Website
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment, Internet,
We aren’t really into the Maury Povich Show, but we decided to try out his baby maker anyway. You simply take two images and circle the major features and voila! you make a baby. Because some of us don’t do pictures, we tried our South Park pic and an Elvis M&M. The results are fairly gruesome, don’t you think? Even by cartoon standards, this is one ugly baby, and a more difficult program than most we have shown you. Try one for yourself, but don’t expect spectacular results.

Get Discovered at the City of Fame
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Music,
Chances are you won’t be discovered at a drug store counter or the corner pub that showcases local bands, but now you have a better chance at this new website, the City of Fame. Upload your music videos or screen tests and perhaps you will be noticed, not that we think a lot of agents will be hanging on the site. Still, it is a step up from YouTube and MySpace. Registration is free and we wonder, if you make it, will the site ask for a percentage?
(Thanks, Frani)

Spread Your Tunes on IACmusic
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Music,
Independent Artist Company Music is apparently drumming up business, as we received an e-mail from them telling us that they thought we should open up an account. While it’s true we can’t play the violin, we thought the least we could do is let them know that we think that was a noble effort on their part. If you profess be an indie musical whiz, sign up for the service, build DMDs via their Ultrapage, then sell them and keep the profits. By the way, IAC has station managers to help you promote your tunes if they suspect you have talent.
(Thanks, Toby)

Another Divorce for Pamela Anderson?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Rumors,
It all makes sense now.
Shortly after canceling her proposed reality series, Pamela Anderson filed for divorce from third hubby, Rick Salomon. The couple, who exchanged rings Oct. 6th, first starting dating after she ‘repaid’ a gambling debt.
Unfortunately Pamela has been known for her complicated relationships, and this marriage is no exception. Although she submitted paperwork in Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday, she was spotted with Salomon just days after. As of today, Anderson is telling fans via her website that they are “working things out.”
Working things out? If this relationship drags out any longer, I’m gonna lose the money I put into the pool!

Sell Your Old Tronics
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Cameras, Smartphones, Handhelds, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Video Games,
BuyMyTronics, formerly known as BuyMyBrokenIpod, has obviously increased the amount of old gadgets that they are willing to purchase. This includes such items as Game Cubes, Playstations 1, 2, and 3, Wii’s, DS Lites, iPhones and Zunes. As you send them your broken stuff they send them off to other companies or chop off parts. Working and/or phased out gadgets get refurbished and sent to resellers. The site is planning on expanding to include cell phones, digital cameras, GPS devices and camcorder. What a great way to pick up a little spare change for the holidays. You might just earn enough to buy yourself a little good cheer.
