The same lawyers that sued Sony over the rootkit CD fiasco have now turned their gaze on Microsoft, and its Genuine Advantage anti-piracy tool. The tool phones home daily via your broadband connection, activity Microsoft dubs “a safety measure designed to allow the tool – to quickly shut down in case of a malfunction.” The lawyers disagree, and say the software is largely spyware that users were given no choice in installing, reports the Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Please check out the FULL article. I do not like the fact I am updating Genuine Advantage EVERY other day. I find that shit annoying. I hate it when Microsoft gets sued, but there has to be a better way.

During Pearl Jam’s show Saturday in Cincinnati, frontman Eddie Vedder remembered the 11 people tragically trampled to death prior to a 1979 concert by the Who at the same arena, as well as the nine victims killed in a similar incident during PJ’s 2000 set at Denmark’s Roskilde festival. Vedder dedicated a song to “those who passed and all the survivors.” In addition, the band closed its set with a cover of the Who’s “Baba O’Riley.”

1. Orton vs. Angle
Orton beat Angle after sending him into an exposed buckle and hitting the RKO. Good match, not great.

2. Umaga vs. Eugene
Umaga beat Eugene fast. Kamala, Hacksaw Duggan and Doink were there as well. Seriously. They are also teasing a future Umaga vs Kamala match.

3. Foley vs Flair
Best of three. Flair just won the first fall with a cradle as Foley tried a figure four. Flair beat Foley via DQ in the second, so he won 2 straight falls. Huge disappointment. Flair gigged a gusher after a barbed wire bat shot to the head.

4. Carlito vs. Johnny Nitro vs. Shelton Benjamin(IC Title)
Carlito reversed a Shelton Benjamin suplex attempt and applied the back cracker. Johnny Nitro pulled Carlito from the ring and pinned Shelton for the win and title.

5. RVD vs. Edge
RVD beat Edge with frog splash after Edge accidentally speared a chair. Good match. RVD is still WWE champ.

6. Fake Kane vs. Kane
Fake Kane beat Kane with a choke slam. This feud must continue!

7. Cena vs. Sabu
Cena beat Sabu with the S.T.F.U. in the Lumberjack Match. Both ECW headliners lost. Match was fine but ECW is in trouble.

8. DX vs. The Spirit Squad
DX beat the Spirit Squad with a pedigree and a superkick. Exactly what the people wanted.

For those wondering, the ECW Championship belt used on the debut edition of ECW on Sci Fi last week was a licensed replica belt that are sold commercially. WWE quickly replaced the belt with a professionally made one for this week’s TV taping. Based on what is known, the original ECW World Heavyweight Title is still believed to be in possession of ECW’s last champion Rhino.

Rhino will not give that thing up without a fight.

I didn’t know if you people knew this. But, If you burn both Viginti Tres followed by Wings for marie .. Then, play that track as one with 10,000 days as another track and play both at the same time, Both Wings for Marie AND 10,000 days sync ! It is incredible ! It is like an 8 piece band but it all FLOWS ! It flows like one song.. It is the most unique and incredible thing I have ever heard in my life.. BadA$$ ! The vocals, drums, the guitar riffs, everything flows ! Both songs get heavy at the same point at 9 minutes and 14 seconds in, it is magical !

I gave it a try, and yes … all the songs are in-sync, they are in the same key and it flows. It did not became a messy goo, which I expected it to, it sounds pretty good. tyr it.

0. Buy Tool’s new album (10,000 days) … rip track 3,4 and 11.
1. download/install audacity.
2. import all three songs (10,000 days, Wings for marie and Viginti Tres).
3. Adjust Wings for marie to start right when Viginti Tres ends. listen to the song and see if all songs are in key, the first two are already in-synch, you just need to shift Wings for marie a bit. you’re done.

Listen. Have fun.
