Continue reading …As NewsBusters previously reported , Bill Maher last Friday disgracefully attacked Bristol Palin saying, “The s–t doesn't fall far from the bat.” On Wednesday's “Fox & Friends,” noted psychiatrist Keith Ablow analyzed the behavior of HBO's “Real Time” host concluding that the comedian has a deep-seated hatred of women and absolutely no regard for life (video follows with transcript and commentary): BRIAN KILMEADE, HOST: TV host and comedian Bill Maher on the attack once again. This time attacking Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol on the release of her new book. (BEGIN VIDE CLIP) BILL MAHER: Bristol claims that the night she lost her virginity, she had accidentally gotten drunk on wine coolers that she didn't know contained alcohol and then — and then blacked out and didn't remember a thing. Oh, the Palins. I'll tell you the s–t doesn't fall far from the bat. Bristol, just admit it, you were horny, and while we're at it, stop claiming that you were on birth control pills that didn't work when you got pregnant. Here's a tip, hon – they're not birth control pills if they're shaped like Fred Flintstone. (END VIDEO CLIP) KILMEADE: All right. Are these attacks called for? What would prompt him to speak that way about a young woman and not about other people? Let’s ask Dr. Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and Fox News contributor joining us right now from Boston with his reaction. You heard what you could that we couldn't — that we didn't have to bleep out. What's your take? Just a comedian going off trying to get laughs? DOCTOR KEITH ABLOW: No. Look, this guy needs his head examined so it's good that you called me in. Bottom line is here's a guy you have to understand, her book’s called “Not Afraid of Life.” Here's a guy who never saw a life that he didn't question. For euthanasia. For the death penalty. For abortion. This is somebody who is not affiliated with life at all. No children. So you have to look at him and say you know what? Why is he so hostile toward women? He has a deep-seated, it seems, hatred to some extent, of women. Frequents the Playboy mansion. All the girls that he dates, the women he dates, they have to be supermodels. And the bottom line is you really got to wonder is he projecting on to her? KILMEADE: I mean, but the thing that gets me is not so much the attack, it's the hatred that's behind it. I mean, it almost bleeds out of his eyes and ears. ABLOW: Absolutely. KILMEADE: And that's what I'm getting. Also, you factor in his movie, the documentary “Religulous” where he's anti-religion as well. ABLOW: Anti-religion. Don't forget, he said that suicide bombers at 9/11 were more heroic than American servicemen. This is someone very closely affiliated with not loving the birth, not having regard for life and therefore, I would say, having it in for women. He says elsewhere in the tape that basically the way that people are born is that babies drop out of them. He's very much divorced from the beauty of the birth experience. He doesn't say, “Bristol, admit it, you had feelings for this young man.” No, you were horny. See, he wants to think women are sluts. That's his view of the world. Interestingly, his mother who happened to have been Jewish, denied her religion until his teen years. So you wonder what kind of ascendance was in operation in that family. Was the male so far above the female that he's internalized this? KILMEADE: Right, and what does it say about society that this guy is still on the air and gets paid a ton of money to act like this? ABLOW: Has it in for women, doesn't like the notion of birth, embraces death, likes suicide bombers. Very simple. KILMEADE: All right. And doctor, we should charge him for this, because you just gave him a quick diagnosis. Now it's up to him to get treatment. ABLOW: I sent a bill because this could have taken six months. KILMEADE: Making a lot of money because HBO is a pay service. Dr, Keith, thanks so much for joining us from Boston. See you soon. ABLOW: Thanks. This certainly explains the constant attacks on former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota). Yet, the bigger picture is indeed what it says about our society that he has a nationally televised program on a premium cable network that people have to pay for. Heaven help us. (H/T RCP )

Continue reading …In the market for a $750 Android tablet with an IT-controlled closed ecosystem, Atom processor, and a requisite middle man to place your order? Then you probably work for a corporation. Cisco’s Cius Android tablet was designed with a Cisco infrastructure in mind, focusing heavily on security and integration with other products. Sure, you can watch HD video or play Angry Birds (if IT is willing to flip the switch on game downloads), but you’ll mostly be using the Cius to join WebEx presentations, TelePresence conferences, and access custom enterprise apps — this is not the tablet to give your kids , for someone just looking to browse the web, or really for anyone not working at a company that already depends heavily on Cisco services. Basically, if a Cius magically appears on your desk one day, you’ll know it’s right for you. Gallery: Cisco Cius Hands-On Today Cisco launched AppHQ, a custom app store created to give IT departments complete control over device app loading, allowing them to limit access only to enterprise apps, or the entire Android Market. We went hands-on with the tablet and AppHQ at the company’s offices in NYC, and were impressed with the tablet’s ability to integrate seamlessly with Cisco services. Even though Cius isn’t intended to be used for entertainment, it’s designed to be both your primary portable device and desktop workstation — so that ability to play HD video will definitely come in handy. You can access all of Cisco’s popular communications tools, making private calls as you walk, joining a video conference from the train over AT&T or Verizon LTE , and then slipping the device into its dock once you reach the office, which adds speakerphone functionality, three USB ports, video out, and even Ethernet connectivity. You can use Cius to access an offsite virtual Windows desktop, using a mouse, keyboard, and monitor to control your primary machine. The tablet has begun rolling out to some clients and will be available worldwide on July 31st. You’ll need to reach out to your Cisco sales rep to make a purchase, but jump past the break for a quick look in our hands-on video.

Microsoft released the second version of Developer Tools Beta , which lets eager app-building folks try out the refresh on their own devices. More importantly than solid bragging rights, it affords developers the opportunity to test apps in a realtime environment, rather than on an emulator. This can only mean good things for Windows Phone users; with nearly four months remaining before the first Mango phones show up, devs have gobs of time to make sure their apps work flawlessly before the anticipated launch. As if this isn’t encouraging enough, Microsoft is also doing a fabulous job of helping students get started — not only is Redmond offering free registration, it’s giving out up to 50 phones to members signed up for the DreamSpark program. There’s no shortage of opportunities here, so aspiring developers may want to click on the source link and follow the directions to the letter. Full PR after the break.

Anyway, he’s not the focus: It’s Selena Gomez , who seems to have bounced back from her malnutrition scare and is adorably bubbly when her entourage springs Shia on her while backstage at Live with Regis and Kelly . She thinks she’s going to sign autographs for a fan and instead… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Crushable Discovery Date : 29/06/2011 04:41 Number of articles : 5
