Websense And Why its Just Plain Wrong(JPW)

Recently I decided to do some research on the school computers.
and while I was searching Google I found my site and decide to print it,so like any other day I clicked it,To my surprise it was ""Blocked" for being "UntasteFull",I will tell you thats "Bullshit".
I also got this:


"what the hell,AM i under arrest now,I just wanted some info on how religion affects economy".

I Also got this:
"The site you have requested has been blocked because it does not comply with the filtering requirements as described by the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA)"

Well I will tell you that is in the book of Just Plain Wrong(JPW).

So what is Websense, well its basically A large team of workers that cruise the internet all day marking things "untastefull". That then enters there list of Naugggghhty sites and boom we cant visit them. Whats worse is the Goverment sees nothing wrong with this,as A matter of fact they hired Websense to do this FOR ALL USD SCHOOLS.
Now thats Untastefull.

Musik Cube Review

Recently I got tired of iTunes for whatever reason and decided to try to find an open source version of it. I stumbled onto Musik Cube which is built on SQL. Once I was finished downloading the 2.7 MB file (notice a LOT smaller then iTunes, but will it pack as much?)I ran the setup which was highly customizable and ran through in a jippy, and launched the program.


As this was the first time I had launched the program ,it gave me a dialog box which asked which folders I wanted to synchronize, Naturally I chose my iTunes Music Folder.
It imported all of my song with one problem. You see I have a tendency to update my ID3 Tags the minute A new version comes out, this being the case they were version 2.4. MusikCube being in Beta only supports up to 2.3, I quickly fixed this by downgrading my ID3 tags via iTunes. And then returned and in the right click menu found the Reload from tags command, which overall was one of my favorite commands.



Other Features

After this My Music Collection sat in Musik Cube just like it did in iTunes, Perfect.
So now I decided to play around with the other features.

Dynamic Playlists: Musik Cubes version of Smart Playlists. It comes with 5 preset ones and in order to make your own you must know SQL.

Overall although Musik Cube has a long way to go before it can be a true iTunes competitor it is BASSICALLY complete.It also dosent support videos.

iPhone Service

I’m really eager to find out what service the iPhone will use. We already know it can’t use cingular for obvious reasons. So lets imagine what the other possibilities are:

T-Mobile=While they usually have stylish phones, there service is horrible, anyway in L.A or should I say Cupertino CA. And I would really hate to see Apple release a Phone with a T-Zones Button on it, It would kill the Apple sensation.

Verizon= Service is expensive but great. Phones are good.

Kyocera= Yeah right.

Beatles suing Apple Computer

The Beatles are taking Apple Computer to the High court in England. This all started back when Jobs started Apple and made his logo the colored Apple which coincidently happened to be the same as Apple Corps the record company founded by the Beatles,when they went to court they made an agreement that Apple would change the logo to a silver Apple and stay away from the music buisness,Then later in 1989 Apple realeased it Music making software and the Beatles sued them again this time Apple won. And now finally Apple Corps is suing Apple Computer for realeasing iTunes and the iPod. Apple defends that it is simply data tranfer.

What if Apple did release the "iPhone"

Well if the do then it would be very cool some of the features I expect:

iCal integration via iSync:you would be able to associate dates with people and most likely the color coded calendars will be transfered too.

Address Book:would auto transfer completely to youre phone so no more keying in contacts on the small ABC mode keyboard.

Many Accessories:as with the whole iPod product line.

Games and Apps via Apples website and many third party companies with the SDK.

An iPod built in: yup

Cingular will drop the soap: yup, ther cant be a partial iPhone and a full one.

Will be better the a Blackberry: yah well Blackberry sucks.

Verizon: I Hope(never gonna happen).

Bluetooth:this would explain the rumors.

Video playback:I hope.

Video Recording and Syncing with iTunes.

Camera syncing with iPhoto.

Flip version available:this would be smart and would forever solve the screen scratch issue.

French make iTunes iCompatible Success!!!!!!

Apple has not commented yet!!!
Thats the latest news so far,but the french have passed a draft law that requires a company to open its copy protection secrets.
Companys affected includel:Microsoft,Apple,Sony ect.
and basically this would require Apple to open up fairplay enabiling other companys to take advantage of it.so basically we could have sony players that interact with iTunes and worst for Apple maybe even ITMS.
