Another great marketing ploy for Dark Knight!! Easy, take a pic, then add Joker elements. Works for iPhone and iPod touch (saved pic), but no deleting of Joker elements, so get it right the first time or start over. Small price to pay, the Church likes very, very much.......

In the wake of Viacom's $1 BILLION copyright infringement lawsuit settlement, YouTube has been ordered to turn over 12 TERABYTES of database information of every video ever watched on the site, complete with user IDs and IP addresses. In the wake of massive protest and fear, Google/YouTube reached an agreement to "mask" the user data, hoping to alleviate some concerns over this Big Brother type of intrusion into users private search and viewing history.
"Viacom and the other litigants have backed off their demand for
YouTube user viewing histories," Google said in a statement. "We have
reached agreement to anonymize the data."
However, Slashdot reports that there is no such thing as an "anonymized dataset," meaning that there is no real way to "mask" or protect an individuals privacy rights once a database of this nature is turned over. While it may protect some users, it's still likely to reveal some users and what they surfed. Given all of this, it's still quite unclear why Viacom needs this data in the first place. The legal question is whether Google infringed on copyright. Why should Google's log files be necessary to determine that?
Watch what your watchin' people, its a brave new world out there.......

ATHENS (Reuters) - Nine British women were facing prostitution charges after being arrested at the weekend for taking part in an oral sex competition in the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos, police said on Monday.Six British and six Greek men, including two bar owners, were also charged in the incident, which took place at Laganas beach in the south of the Ionian island, which lies off the west coast of mainland Greece, police said.
The women, who came to the popular resort on holiday, had been paid to take part in the competition, which was video recorded and was to be posted on the Internet, police said.
The men were charged with encouraging obscene behavior.
In recent years, Laganas has established itself as one of Greece's most popular destinations for twenty-something holidaymakers and is known for its wild party scene.
Around 15 million people -- a fifth of them British -- visit the eastern Mediterranean country each year, drawn by its soaring summer temperatures, azure waters and sandy beaches.

Thank you......NELLY??!?......for bringing back the New York classic isht. One of the first truly hip-hop brands, b-boys, nefs, and dealers all rocked Troop at one point or another, made popular by none other than Ladies Love Cool J.
But when a rumor got on the hood wire that TROOP stood for "To Rule Over Oppressed People," and was owned by the KKK, TROOP (whose volume was 95% African American and Latino) lost its street cred and was banished from the sneaker lexicon. Through a licensing deal, Nelly aims to bring TROOP back into the collective consciousness.....or Nelly is f#ckin us again, who knows? Love live TROOP!
