Ellen DeGeneres’ Doggy Troubles
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, Gossip, Rumors,
Wow. I just saw the video of Ellen DeGeneres breaking down on her show about her pet adoption. I had read about it, but it really is heart wrenching to see her sobbing. She spoke about a pet adoption that turned bad after she gave her adopted dog, Iggy, to a hairdresser. The dog’s energy level was a bit too much for her existing cats so she found a loving home with her hairdresser and her two daughters. Turns out that’s an oops, since she violated an agreement she signed with the Mutts and Moms Dog Rescue. Under the contract, if she was unable to keep the dog, he should have been returned to the rescue. Wrought with emotion, DeGeneres said, “I thought I did a good thing. I tried to find a loving home for the dog because I couldn’t keep it.” A few days after giving the dog to her hairdresser, a rep from the rescue and the police came and took the dog from the woman and her 11 and 12 year old daughters. Now, I understand the need for a contract, but you also have to agree that Ellen is an animal lover and she truly only had the best interest of the dog in line. She explained, “I feel totally responsible for it, and I’m so sorry. I’m begging them to give that dog back to that family. It’s not their fault. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have given the dog away. Just please give the dog back to those little girls.”

Watch Britney Spears’ New Video for ‘Gimme More’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, MTV,
It for some reason you don’t see the YouTube video, you can find a very short preview of it here.
Britney Spears’ new video for ‘Gimme More’ is not officially scheduled to debut until Monday—but here’s your chance to get it out of the way now.
After you finish watching the clip, ask yourself these questions:
- Was the sense of nausea you felt a result of the shaky editing or something else?
- Did her hair remind you of Demi Moore, Cher or Morticia Addams?
- Is it even possible to dance with shorts lodged so far up your rear?
- Did you find yourself laughing more than voyeur Britney did in the video?
- Was there even a point to the whole thing?
If you feel compelled to watch the video again on a much larger screen, set your Tivo to Monday’s Total Request Live on MTV.
Bleeding Edge Byte 025: Melting Hard Drives With Thermite
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Breakin’ Stuff, Short Bytes, Features, Mods / Hacks, Science, Storage, Videocasts,
We know many people who are wary of discarding their old hard drives, especially after the drives have died without offering the option to reformat. We know people who have opened them up and scratched up the platters manually, and others who just have a drawer full a bunch of drives. At Gear Live’s Seattle Mind Camp, Pablos of the Shmoo Group asked everyone to bring their old hard drives so that we could give them a proper burial. The result? An 8,000-degree hard drive meltdown, thanks to a little thermite.
