Britney Spears Sexy Comeback!
2008-08-19 13:41:00 Britney Spears has been picking up all the right pieces to her puzzle of a life!Britney is doing fine with the visitation appointments with her kids, has been exercising and getting back in shape, has been busy working on her new album and was seen going into a recording studio to work on her songs. Above it all, she's gotten three nods at the upcoming MTV VMA Awards in September! A Britney Spears comeback would have been ?unimaginable a year ago,? said Carrie Melago in the New York Daily News. ?Her sloppy, lip-synched performance? of ?Gimme More? at least year?s VMAs ?was universally panned and ushered in a year of lousy luck.? If she gets the chance to perform at the awards show this year, it would offer her a much-needed ?chance at redemption.??MTV would have to be crazy" not to put Spears on stage, said Alan Fein in AXcess News. Her ?popularity is still strong,? and even if she blows a performance again this year, MTV still comes out on top: ?To advertisers, a bomb can sometime...

Kurt Busch not impressed with comeback at Pocono
2008-06-08 21:06:00 LONG POND, Pa. — Kurt Busch slid out of his royal blue No. 2 Penske Racing Dodge after pulling it into a garage stall directly behind his transporter. He was soaking wet and slightly flushed in the face — but after four hours and 500 grueling miles around Pocono Raceway, he was entitled to look that way. But before he met with the media, Busch walked around the front of his car, shaking his head. He stared — almost glaring at it — as he wrinkled his brow before walking toward his hauler, never pausing to look back. “ This was a day when we were given lemons and we turned it into lemonade. ” KURT BUSCH That he had come back from a spin in the race’s first quarter (watch video) that knocked him back to last place to finish eighth, and in the process moved closer in the driver standings to getting into the 12-man Chase for the Sprint Cup field was little consolation to him. His recent record at Pocono, which included two wins and t...

Self-Destructing DVDs Make a Comeback
2008-06-02 22:04:00 There's a great story over at PC World that talks about how self-destructing DVD's (DVD's that after being opened for 48 hours become unplayable), are starting to make a comeback. Well, I can always use more costers!The technology's not all that new; Flexplay DVDs have have been around for about five years, though on a more limited scale. The premise remains unchanged: Flexplay's patented disc adhesive reacts to oxygen when the DVD's package is opened, beginning a slow chemical reaction that renders the disc unreadable in 48 hours. The idea is that you can rent a movie without having to worry about when you'll watch it -- the disc remains playable so long as it's sealed -- or about returning it. Staples will start carrying Flexplay DVDs this month, for $4.99 each. But like I said, we've done this dance before. It was in 1998 that a bunch of retailers offered us DIVX (no relation to the video codec), a -- wait for it -- self-destructing DVD format for renting movies,...

Cold Fusion on the Comeback Trail?
2008-05-28 19:19:00 Cold Fusion (in physics, not in web development) became a taboo expression nineteen years ago after Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons were unable to replicate their experiment that supposedly produced fusion in a glass jar at room temperature. And, since nobody else was able to duplicate the results, cold fusion has since become a synonym for pseudo-science. But that may be about to change. Jon Cartwright of the physicsworld blog reports that Yoshiaki Arata, a retired physics professor at Osaka University and his partner, Yue-Chang Zhang, have demonstrated what appears to be a repeatable experiment that involves forcing deuterium into an evacuated cell containing a sample of palladium dispersed in zirconium oxide. According to Arata, the deuterium is absorbed by the sample in large enough amounts to force the deuterium nuclei to become close enough to fuse. It's way, way too early to say whether or not these results have any validity, as (like with Fleischmann and Pons) they...
On the Comeback...
2008-05-28 09:28:00 Looks like all that time in hiding under the watchful eye of Clive Davis is working some wonders with Whitney Houston. Testing the water over seas, Whitney performed in Morocco this past weekend at their Mawazine Music Festival. Clearly taking her time and adjusting to her current vocal range, she definitely sounds a hell of lot better singing "I Will Always Love You" than her past runs at. Get it Nippy!This makes me happy. Check out "I Love You Lord" as well.

RBI Baseball making a comeback?!
2008-05-28 01:11:00 You know what would be even more awesome than Bases Loaded being available for download onto your Wii? Answer: A brand new, updated version of RBI Baseball for sale as an Xbox Live arcade game. Well, according to Xbox 360 Fanboy, it looks like it might happen. Apparently, the ESRB (the group that rates videogames for violence and stuff) has given a rating for a new version of the Nintendo classic, causing gaming sites to speculate that the new game, though currently unannounced, will be appearing on Microsoft's console sometime soon.There's only two things I want from this game: One, it better have players built like C.C. Sabathia, just like in the original RBI, as opposed to the crappy sequels. And, two, there better be online play. Meet those two criteria, and this will hit must-buy status.One downer: It's possible the names of real players won't be included in this release. I'd love to have either the original RBI rosters or current team rosters, but securing the rights from...

Spurs led by as many as 20 in this game, but the determination of Kobe along with his squad were able to pull off an 89-85 win.

He finished with 27 points, while Duncan finished with an impressive 30 points and 18 rebounds.The final minute of the game proved exciting with the Spurs tying things up on a Duncan tip in, then Kobe coming right back at the other end to hit the jumper.

COMEBACK WASTED...Tigers 10 Red Sox 9
2008-05-08 11:17:00 You can't win 'em all, but last night's 10-9 loss to the Detroit Tigers really hurt. The Tigers had lost five games in a row and Boston had WON five straight. But when the Red Sox finally went ahead by a score of 9-8 going into the bottom of the ninth, an improbable Boston comeback veered into the realm of a probable victory. But it was not to be, for the Tigers, on the strength (??) of a checked-swing roller, a costly error by Julio Lugo, a sacrifice bunt that traveled no more than three yards and a shattered bat bloop single, scored two vital runs to get the victory. I could go into who hit what when, but you can click on the title of this post for all those details. The Boston comeback was thrwarted by the two unearned ninth inning runs. Oh well, turn the page. It's all we can do, so let's do it! I already have, late last night.
