Melbourne’s Corey Delaney Assaulted on Frankston Beach

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , on January 23, 2008 by mrinternet

 

Do you know who I am <smack>, Yep!

Infamous Melbourne Party Boy Corey Delaney was apparently pwned last night on his favourite beach in Frankston.  Apparently during that altercation he was heard to say ‘Do you know who I am ‘. Word has it that his trademark yellow glasses did not survive the incident and it is not known the extent to his injuries. This is the 1st GOOD news to come out of the normally rough Frankston this year. Last Year the Ferrari Grand Prix team were rumored to fire their entire pit crew as it was faster to drive 30 miles from the track  to Frankston and have the locals jack up remove the tires put new ones on and drive back to the track. However the radio was believed to be missing.

Current Blu-ray Players Won’t Correctly Play Future Discs

Posted in Uncategorized on January 14, 2008 by mrinternet

“But with the exception of the Playstation 3, current Blu-ray disc players were built without future-compatibility capabilities, so come this October owners won’t be able to take advantage of features like Internet connectivity or enhanced interactivity (whatever that means—details are sketchy).”

“Amazon now has an HD DVD player with seven movies for only $147. Blu-ray players, of course, are still well above $300… and Blu-ray players on the market are designed without “future-compatibility capabilities.” This means that bonus features on titles released starting in October will not be playable on current Blu-ray players.”

Brief History

O2 is formally part of British Telecom. When sold to Telefonica , Telefonica set-up the Asia-Pac pretty much as a separate entity as they do, different products, and Singapore based support for a different market. O2 as it was known then in November 2007, announced it was renaming O2 to MWG. Expansys the phone and product accessory company, has invested in MWG and has rights exclusive, early or both to all MWG/O2 products. O2 blew it with the wrong phones, (the flame for instance) is too big physically when phones globally were getting smaller for the Asia marketplace, they never introduced it in Australia, Europe, Australia, or the US until pretty recently but have not offered any WM6 (windows mobile 6) upgrade but especially having poor customer service. MWG cannot right the wrongs of the past, new and exciting hardware might help set-up a better future.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull’s-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a string
