Because face it... you still have no idea what it's about.

Americans Alone consume 3.6 ZETTABYTES a year... mostly pixels

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, have determined how much information people use yearly in this country. And OH MY GOD. Though a lot of it is in the form of pixels, apparantly americans use around 3.6 ZETTABYTES every year... that's 36 Gigabytes a day PER CONSUMER.

I know some my friends especially are thinking (couldn't I be using more than this?) Well consider how much you actually process yourself daily. Then, Average yourself against the rest of america and understand you have to compensate for everybody else. And you're still pullin 36 Gigs a day. Or, about the entirety (special features and everything) of over 5 (Completely Full) DVDs a day. This is the equivalent of EVERYONE IN AMERICA watching the ENTIRE Lord of the Rings saga... EVERY DAY. yeah you gamers... it's kind of like that.

For those of you who can even begin to comprehend the numbers, and aren't sure what a zetabyte is,
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes = 1000to the 7th power, or 10 to the 21st power.

Cats Vs Dogs... The Saga Continues (interesting)

I'm an avid cat person. My wife is a dog person. I look forward to an interesting rest of my life.

Regardless of where you stand on this scale, the cat vs. dog saga is an age old argument. This article shows some interesting comparisons, facts, and figures.

This will, of course, give each of you ammo against your fellows who prefer the companionship of "the OTHER animal" than the one whose company you enjoy... but then, this works both ways, after all.

Enjoy. ;-)

The Music Industry gets sued for Stealing Music. Yes, you read that right.

It's no secret I'm not a big fan of the recording industry. It's business practices are only interested in making the most money. They don't really care about protecting the artist as they claim... as is evident in this article.

Seriously... If they're stealing to make money then sue you for obtaining music without paying them (JUST LIKE THEY'RE DOING), what does that make them?
