SONGPRO.COM INC. OFFERS AN ANTIDOTE TO THE VIOLENT GAMES TARGETED AT CHILDREN
Company Responds to FTC Study By Turning The GAMEBOY Into Portable Digital Music Player To Soothe The Savage Gamer
Palo Alto, CA -- September 14, 2000 -- Songpro.com Inc. has an immediate solution for the troubling findings of the Federal Trade Commission regarding the marketing of violent video games to children under 17. Plugging in the Songpro Jr. digital music player into a Gameboy portable gaming unit instantly creates a tool to expose the gaming community of all ages to the joys of music. In addition to the use of stereo sound, the Songpro Jr. will also utilize the screen to add lyrics, cartoons, or any picture to the experience. Suddenly the user has an engaging alternative to the aggression and violence present in so many of the video games today.
"We believe that this is a promising solution for parents wishing to avoid today's exposure to violence through an entertainment tool that's loved by kids," explained Mark Bush, SongBoy.com's CMO. "One of the most important ways to address the FTC finding is to provide the entertainment industry and parents alike with an alternative to the overwhelming violent material being marketed to children." The FTC study found 70 percent of all "Mature" rated games were being marketed to children under 17.
There is no other portable digital music player on the market that utilizes the visual portion of the multimedia experience. One quickly realizes the full potential of graphics when thinking about the possibilities of educational software for the mobile community. Over 100 million Gameboys are currently sitting in school lockers, desk drawers and of course in the hands of people around the globe. The simple addition of a SongPro Jr. cartridge into these devices will open a world of discovery for the user.
"Creating content which is more entertaining than violent games will pave the way for future generations of digital entertainment which fosters the expansion of the mind rather than digressing into the black hole of violence," noted SongBoy.com CEO, Ron Jones.

Given the definition of 'global circumnavigation,' I think I'll go walk in a four-foot diameter circle at the south pole and consider myself a world traveller. Now maybe Fossett will fut the shuck up and let amercia go back to envisioning martha stewart behind prison bars.
In the meantime, Fossett will be busy over the next few weeks screwing a model on a pile of cash.
Gotta hand it to Fossett though. He's persistent. I don't think I'd have gotten back aboard the thing after that time when lightning snapped the cables in the middle of the night and his capsule fell like 15 thousand feet into the ocean. Pretty freaking scary if you ask me.
Heres a site where you can purchase some pretty nice water cooled cases. http://www.overclockershideout.com/ CompU SA also has some.. atleast the ones here do.
December 18th, 2002 (that's a Wednesday) MPAA Rating: PG-13 (There's a contractual obligation not to deliver this film at an R rating; the rating is not official until the MPAA announces it , but expect PG-13). Heres a preview, differs from the trailer?

Weird, I work for Charter Communications, Corperate sent out a mass email a few weeks ago, went something like this.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., and ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Charter Communications, Inc., (Nasdaq:CHTR) and AT&T Broadband have closed previously announced cable-system transactions, resulting in a net addition of about 554,000 customers for Charter and $1.77 billion in cash and cable systems for AT&T, the companies said today.
Kinda seems like AT&T is wanting out of the Cable Internet biz.

So what exactly does piloting a balloon entail, anyway..? Utilizing your valuable hoping skills to wish you'll be blown in the right direction?

I hope they shut up about this.
It doesn't look like a global circumnavigation as much as a global circumcision.
