PARIS: Hey, baby, I brought you a pearl necklace.
HELEN [weepy]: I can’t wear it because I’m sort of already married
to that other guy but we’ve been doing the royal nasty for a week
already anyway and you’re going to leave tomorrow and WAHHHHH.
PARIS: You could stow away and come with me and start a war that will
end up killing 90% of the cast and totally be the downfall of my
people and my kingdom!

In case you or your TiVo find yourself in front of the TV tonight

with Peter Jennings in a segment about a "people of the year" from the
tech world. I'm not one of those people, but like any good loudmouthed

Ex-Verizon Wireless Employee Stole
Minutes... Many, Many Minutes
Ex-Verizon Wireless Employee Stole
Minutes... Many, Many Minutes
08/13/2004 05:45 AMAn ex-Verizon Wireless employee has been charged with
ste
aling and reselling $20 million worth of prepaid cellular minutes.
Since the minutes were activated via the numbers on some cards, he
just copied down all the numbers. Interestingly, while the report
says he stole $20 million
worth of minutes, there's no
indication how much he actually sold them for (or how many were
actually used). Also, he continued to have access to the computer
which stored the numbers after he left Verizon, which sounds like a
major security screwup on Verizon Wireless' part.
Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie
Watching Is A Social Experience
03/22/2005 05:03 PMYesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were
whini
ng about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting
their business. The obvious response, we pointed out, is to recognize
that going to the movies is a
social experience. It's not just
about the content (though, that is important), but the overall
experience. If they improved that, then people would want to go --
even if they could score the same movie off the internet or a cheap
DVD bought off the street. While the folks in Hollywood refuse to
entertain this idea, someone (anonymously) in the comments to that
story pointed to an article in China noting that
this is exactly what Chinese movie theaters have done.
After years of declining attendance, they finally shaped up and made
going to the movies cool again. They improved the overall experience,
putting in better equipment and more comfortable seats. They improved
the sound and the lighting as well. It sounds like they also made
some theaters to be more like bars, to help attract young adults away
from traditional bars. Yet the supposedly "creative" movie people in
Hollywood insist "nothing can be done" to get people into the theater.

gifted in something other than sports, or a little more shy than

Wars vehicle design than talking to girls.
I did about three hours of interviews with VH1, and I have no idea
what they'll use . . . but I watched "The Metalheads" last night, and
like most of the VH1 nostalgia shows, it was super cool. The show airs
at 10/9c.

Kiss, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson. When it comes to onstage
theatricality and over the top rock and roll antics, these are the
names that come to mind. However, to a loyal army of fanatical fans,
known affectionately as "Slaves", none hold a candle to Gwar, the
undisputed kings of the theatrical concert-performance. The Richmond,
Virginia based band is infamous for their heavy but humorous music,
pornographic alien-barbarian costumes and outrageous stage props which
include huge squirting phalluses, rubber fetuses and gallons of stage
blood.

Cancelled Netflix Tonight
Cancelled Netflix Tonight
04/17/2004 11:05 PMThe wife and I were watching Frida, which is quite a good movie,
when we decided to cancel our Netflix subscription.
We've been subscribers of Netflix since December of 1999. We
bought our first DVD player then when we were living in Dupont,
Washington. It was a Sony (still have it and it works great btw) and
it included a little Netflix promo card in the box along with the
manuals.
We signed up then, and we were paying $15.95 for 4 movies out at
any time. We watched a lot of movies back then -- generally one a
night, because it was all so new...
And the quality of the service was fantastic. We'd watch a movie,
mail it back, and get a new one within 3 days. We'd watch it that
night and mail it back that morning.
In 2001, we moved back to Texas, and service was sort of crappy at
first. It took 8 or 9 days to get replacement DVDs when we first
moved back to Texas, because of the speed of the US Mail, but then,
Netflix opened up a distribution center in Texas, and we were back to
our 3 day turn around, and all was well.
At some point, Netflix changed their service levels such that our
price went up from $15.95 to $19.95. We were happy with the service,
and the 'no late fees' peace of mind.
Then, they changed their service to only allow 3 movies out at one
time, but they grand-fathered us in, so that we kept our 4 movies out
at a time service level for $19.95.
We got in the habit of sometimes watching a lot of movies, and
sometimes not watching any for months on end.
Then yesterday, I got an email saying the price was going up to
$21.95 for the same service level. I applaud their ability to offer
me 4 movies out at a time for $22/month, with a 3 day turn-around. I
was happy enough to stay a customer, and then...
We watched a movie last night that was so scratched up that it
skipped chapters, and we missed out on a chapter or two and the whole
experience was ruined. Eh... no biggy, it's happened before... and I
was prepared to write off that one bad disk as a once every six months
issue...
But then tonight, Frida skipped a couple of chapters too. Ruined
the experience again. And what a good movie too...
So, I logged into my Netflix account and cancelled the service.
Cé la Vie, eh?

Xeni on PBS TV tonight -- RFIDs and
privacy
05/06/2004 04:12 PMOn this week's edition of the PBS television program "California
Connected," I join host Lisa McRee with guests
Beth Givens, Privacy
Rights Clearinghouse,
State Senator Debra
Bowen, and
Mark Roberti,
RFID Journal to debate consumer privacy issues related to radio
frequency ID tag (RFID) technology.
There's a great online discussion salon going on concurrently, too,
with Professor Shyam Sunder of the School of Management at
Yale University, Chris Hoofnagle, associate director of the Electronic
Privacy Information Center, Lee
Tien, senior staff attorney at the EFF, and Dr. Daniel Engels of the MIT
Auto-ID Labs.
Dubbed by one skeptical journalist as "Big
Brother in small packages," RFID chips are tiny transponders that
can be attached to almost any consumer good. While companies are set
to use these radio frequency identification tags to track their
merchandise from assembly line to warehouse to store shelf, privacy
watchdogs suggest these same RFID tags could be used to keep tabs on
consumers -- beyond the confines of a store or supermarket.
