Wall St. Ed Board Writer: ‘You Can Do Anything You Want As Long As You’re Poor’
January 23, 2011 No CommentI had to laugh when I saw this Wall St. Journal video review. Dorothy Rabinowitz slams Kathy Bates’ new legal drama, “Harry’s Law”: “You have major criminality, excused as nothing. You can do anything you want, as long as you’re poor.” She takes great umbrage at the show and its perceived lack of moral center — I suppose because it shows the poor and disenfranchised using the spirit of the law to evade the letter of the law, achieving something more closely resembling actual justice.

Now, maybe you’ll get the irony of this when you realize Dorothy is on the editorial board of the Wall St. Journal , which has never seen a corporate crime worth prosecuting.

January 23, 2011 No Comment
photo via flickr President Obama has sent a special video message to his Obama for American supporters, with a preview of his State of the Union speech, which he will deliver on Tuesday evening. In the 4 minute video, there is plenty of talk about growing the economy and securing a better future for the “American family,” but there is no mention of climate and energy reform. Granted, this is a sneak peak for a very specialized audience, but the lack of any signal about how hard he will push for energy reform is an ominous sign. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Look familiar? You’ve actually seen it twice before, once as a QWERTY slider and once as an unidentified LTE smartphone . Well, it just so happens that a new batch of eighteen pictures have surfaced, and the two phones are are actually one — this is the Samsung Forte for MetroPCS, which is presently running a recent build of Android 2.2.1. While we still don’t know if it’s got the 1GHz processor and 5 megapixel camera that lovingly accompanied the original rumor , it appears to have Samsung’s custom TouchWiz UI on board, lending extra credence to the possibility that the handset might receive Galaxy S branding when it materializes in stores. We’ve got just one last note here, and that’s this whole reveal feels rather… planted to us. Watch the video after the break to see what we mean, and find plenty more pictures at the link below.

Some of you rabid Adele fans have probably heard her sophomore effort, 21 , several times already as, yes, it has leaked. But for the rest of you — the do-gooders, I suppose — here’s a way for you to hear exactly what the record will sound like. As you might notice, the intended country influence is definitely there but she’s still heavy on the piano-based balladry. Beyond just providing snippets… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : prefixmag Discovery Date : 23/01/2011 04:34 Number of articles : 2
