- Would You Guys Stop It Already !

This morning i arrived at worked, Steamed the coffee, Steamed the milk, Turned on my machine and It appears that today is the first day Firefox .9 is released. For those of you who dont know Firefox is the latest in internet browser technology. I been a mozilla user since .7 version Firebird. Now im not going to bore u any longer on browser technology etc. However i all i have to say is this. If you are a Internet Explorer user you are serioulsy missing you piece of the pie - "Would You Guys Stop It Already !". Firefox smashes IE in so many aspects. Following is a list of Firefox .9 new capabilities.

• Bookmark Manager, which also acquires the new theme.
• Advanced Extension Manager
• Advanced JavaScript Options panel
• right-click on an image and copy it to the clipboard
• Set As Wallpaper’ function has also been improved
• Extension Manager is brand new for this release
• The Theme Manager is also new

And some.... Love to Firefox *hugz*

- To The 5 Boroughs

Remember few days back i mentioned the new Beastie Boys new album "To The 5 Boroughs". Well ive managed to get my dirty mits on a the album before its even released in oz * love to the www * . The albums been recorded on and off over two years at the Beastie Boys' own studio in downtown NYC, produced by the band and mixed by Supa Engineer Duro, 'To The 5 Boroughs' is the first proper Beastie Boys record since 1998's 'Hello Nasty' * god bless that album * which entered at the top of virtually every chart in every country in the world.

In keeping with its title, the new album is in large part homage to the city that brought Mike D, Adrock and MCA together. Follow me for information On the 5 Boroughs. From the block-party rockers 'Ch-Check It Out' and 'Triple Trouble' to the politically charged 'Time To Build' and straight-up tribute 'An Open Letter To NYC', the record conjures the early '80s New York underground B Boys came up in - but keeps one foot firmly in the future throughout, especially on the unclassifiable 'Oh Word?' and 'Crawlspace'.

This album is not to missed... Big Ups to the BBoyz *thumps chest*

For those of you who just dont know where to get this album. I guess you'll have to wait for the 16th of July for it to be released...

Ohh the cover art is totally amazing to huh.

*sniffles*

- Michael Moore is a f**king idiot - Period !!!

"In my opinion, Michael Moore is a fucking idiot!. I really get bothered by all the fanatical individuals in this world. I don't have a problem with those that want to criticize, compliment, or have a discussion about issues in politics or any other topic, but its the extremists that really bother me."

"Michael Moore hates President Bush. Great, good for you, congratulations, you want a fucking cookie. Alot of people hate President Bush, alot of people think he stole the 2000 election. That is fine and to have a logical dicussion about it is also fine, but people like Moore go out of their way to push their ideology onto other people."

Bryan from Juiced Thoughts writes a most excellent article on why he thinks and many others think that Michael Moore really is a f**king Idiot.

- Lost In Translation

Simply put, Lost in Translation is an amazing motion picture but odd at the same time. I watched this film three times thru before i could make a correct assessment .

The film details the "accidental" relationship that develops between Bob (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson). Bob, an internationally recognized actor on the downside of his career, is in Tokyo filming a series of ads for a whiskey company. Charlotte, a recent Yale graduate, is accompanying her photographer husband (Giovanni Ribisi) on a business trip. However, she spends most of the time alone. Bob and Charlotte's first few encounters are casual - on an elevator, in a bar. Gradually, however, they begin to seek out one another and a bond develops. The two eventually spend nearly every waking hour together, holding deep conversations and finding ways to avoid the eventual parting that both know must occur.

Lost in Translation is smart and perceptive about how people interact on a personal level. It portrays the disorientation of the two main characters flawlessly. They are two normal individuals who might not offer each other more than a smile under ordinary circumstances, but, put together in a place where they don't understand the language or customs and have no one else to turn to, their attachment is potent. In a strange sort of way, Lost in Translation reminded me of Lina Wertmuller's Swept Away, where two characters discover that the intensity of their relationship is predicated upon their circumstances. Take them off the island where they are marooned, and it all evaporates. The situation is similar here. The closeness shared by Bob and Charlotte is likely not something that would survive in "the real world." Will it get a chance? The screenplay cleverly leaves the decision up to the viewer.

The rich dialogue sparkles, and spans a variety of topics. The characters discuss issues both deep and shallow - from the search for the soul and the meaning of life to how couples communicate after long years of marriage. There's plenty of room for non-intrusive, low-key comedy, such as the blinds that automatically open in the morning to let in the light or the showerhead that is too low for Bob. Then there's the call girl who invades Bob's room and demands that he "lip" her stockings. (She actually means "rip.")
