Why you ask? 'cause it's a damn shame we don't have one!

outlook: bleak

apple has iphone, ipod, and their osx based computers
linux has a geek fanbase, eee pc and splashtop

windows has zune, surface and vista
... so how many of you ever actually seen a zune, worked with a surface or are content with vista?

Woont in Marokko ander volk?Telegraafcolumnist Jos van Noord verbaast zich over het grote verschil tussen Marokkanen in Scheveningen en in Marrakesh..

"Vuile hómó's!" klonk het over de Scheveningseweg, net toen ik daar naar de haven fietste om wat verse visjes te kopen. Vier kliermarokkaantjes scholden vanuit hun auto een paar kerels uit bij de tramhalte. Te dom om te beseffen hoe ze zichzelf omlaaghalen.

Moet ík eens proberen, in Marokko!

Waarom geeft dat handjevol Noord-Afrikaanse medelanders telkens weer zo'n verkeerd visitekaartje af en hoor ik uit hun herkomstgroep nooit protest, zodat iedereen behalve Balkenende geïrriteerd raakt over die rotlui?

Met provocaties trek je aandacht. Zoals die relnichten die overal neukparken willen, ook al zijn ouders met kinderwagens niet gecharmeerd van die afgezakte broeken in het publieke wandeldomein. Krijgen ze weer een rapport van meehuilwethouder Van Alphen, die zijn sociale ambtenaren nog één keer laat uitleggen dat alles moet kunnen.

Wijkoudsten, buurtvaders, streetcornerwerkers voor die Berberklanten, je zou je als fatsoenlijke Marokkaan toch kapot schamen!

Uitkeringen voor nieuwkomers die ons haten. Per KLM naar ons land, maar dan moet die andere passagier wél verkassen, want moe-met-d'r-boerka wil niet naast een man zitten. Wil blote kunst weghangen, weigert een mannelijke arts, tolereert geen bouwvakkers in korte broek en gooit alle homo's liefst van een hoge flat, omdat sowieso niet-moslims niet deugen, want dat predikt onze salafistische imam in Den Haag luidkeels elke vrijdag, insha'Allah eerdaags onze vrije dag.

Een cartoonist tekent een rake prent - 'Met deze hand schud ik geen ongelovige de hand, maar neem ik uitsluitend zijn geld aan' - maar onze pliesie licht hem van z'n bed, met een man of twintig.

Gij zult niet klagen, komt de fundamentalist Balkenende zelf intussen met het Elfde Gebod.

Godgeklaagd.

Alsof er in Marokko een ander volk woont, zei mijn buurman, die met z'n blonde tienerdochter naar Marrakesh was geweest. De buurt had hem zó gewaarschuwd: ze gaan met hun tengels aan je dochter zitten!

Súperleuke vakantie gehad, iedereen aardig, lekker eten, niemand opdringerig, nergens getild. Een en al gedienstigheid en vriendelijkheid. Leuke jongelui, die hot en hip gekleed gaan. Helemaal top!

"Van wat ik in Den Haag zie, heb ik in Marokko níéts herkend", zei mijn buurman. "Zelfs de islam heeft daar iets positiefs!"

Als correspondent van deze krant woonde ik jarenlang in Cairo, naast een moskee. De imam was herhaaldelijk in Europa geweest en toen ik tijdens het Eid al-Kabir, het grote moslimfeest, als dinergast naast hem aan de lange buitentafel zat, zei hij mij: "In het Oosten vind je de Koran, maar zonder islam. In het Westen vind je de islam, maar zonder Koran!"

Voor homoseks schijnt Tanger het mekka te zijn, hoorde ik bij de tramhalte.


Opinion of me: Kliermarokaantjes??? this guy is a columnist in a pretty big newspaper... really... kliermarokaantjes?

Go ahead kill yourself!

bought tickets this morning for Sigur Ros
and...
a new album was announced in the afternoon!

með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust


I pretty much rock!


með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

sigur rós will release their fifth lp "með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" june 23rd worldwide (june 24th in north america). the album will be available to pre-order on sigurros.com on june 2nd and a live stream of the album will be available on june 9th for those who have pre-ordered.

"með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust" was co-produced with the band by renowned producer flood, and was recorded in new york city (at sear sound studios), london (at assault and battery studios and abbey road), reykjavík (at álafoss, the band's studio, as well as a church in reykjavík), and havana, cuba.

the album title is translated into english as "with a buzz in our ears we play endlessly" with the english spelling of the icelandic album title being "med sud i eyrum vid spilum endalaust"

whereas sigur rós' last release "heima" took the band to their homeland, their newest creation is the first album in the band's career to be made outside of iceland. it is also their first album to feature vocalist jónsi's vocals in english on one track. in addition to the english, one of the album's tracks is sung without lyrics ("hopelandic") and the rest of the tracks are sung in icelandic.

inspired by the unfettered feeling of the acoustic performances filmed during heima, sigur rós decided to adopt a looser approach in the writing and creation of með suð. the material for the album was written, recorded and mixed entirely in 2008 and is being released just one month after its completion. the album glows with the perfect imperfection of live takes, the sounds of fingers playing guitar strings, cracked notes, and a stark, upfront presence not found in previous sigur rós recordings, moving away from reverb-soaked guitar sounds towards something altogether more affecting. the record also contains some of the most joyous music the band has ever recorded.

opener "gobbledigook" sets the tone for með suð í eyrum… with its shifting acoustic guitars, playful vocals, time signature swings and swirling percussion, while "inní mér syngur vitleysingur" ("within me a lunatic sings") sparkles as one of the most anthemic songs sigur rós have ever written. "festival" is epic in its elation and scope, "illgresi" features one of jonsi"s finest vocal melodies over a lone acoustic guitar, and "ára bátur" is the largest musical undertaking in the band's career, as it was recorded live in one take with the london sinfonietta and london oratory boy"s choir, a total of 90 people playing at the same time. the band also utilised the talents of their string-quartet friends amiina, as well as a five-piece brass section on certain tracks.

Cargo Plane Breaks In Two At Brussels Airport.

Stole this straight from NYT (picture not related):

Filed at 12:51 p.m. ET
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - An American Kalitta air cargo plane drove off the runway during take-off at Brussels's Zaventem airport on Sunday and broke in two but there were no casualties, airport and fire brigade officials said.

"The accident happened during take-off of the plane, which was going from Brussels to Bahrain," a Zaventem airport spokeswoman said. "We don't know what caused it, there is an investigation under way."

The Boeing 747 aircraft's five crew all escaped via an inflatable emergency slide, fire brigade spokesman Francis Boileau said. Four of them had minor injuries.

Boileau said apart from its cargo of cars and equipment, the jet was full of fuel. He said the plane came to a halt some 200 meters (650 feet) from the runway and only 10 meters (30 feet) from a railway line.

"There was a danger of an explosion just after the accident because it was full of kerosene, about 100 tonnes of it, and there was a big leak when it broke," Boileau said, adding the fire brigade had secured the leak in 30 minutes.

"We see from the tracks on the runway that the pilot tried to stop the aircraft because he understood he could not bring it up into the air, and he drove it off the runway," Boileau said.

The Kalitta Air company's website says it is a Michigan Limited Liability Company owned by Conrad Kalitta. It started in November 2000 with three Boeing 747 aircraft and the fleet has grown to a present total of 18 B 747 freighters.

Just so i don't have to look it up every single time.

What is it?: If you get enough xp points in the multiplayer you go up in ranks. This goes on until you reach 55. After that you can choose to keep everything you have (weapons, add-ons, perks)
OR
give it all up for one of these new icons and start over with a clean slate.
So if you decide to go for these "prestige" rankings. You get standard equipment and have to build up to 55 again. Where at that point you get to decide once again if you want to go up another prestige level or not. You can do this 10 times. Making it 550 times the fun... right? We'll see.
You gotta wonder if it's all worth it to you...
