The Black Eyed Pea spoke to Anderson Cooper using holographic technology on CNN last night. This is the first time that anything like this has been done before. I think we’ll see a lot more of it. It’s crazy. It looks like something out of a movie. Welcome to the 21st century.

How many times have you came home drunk, hopped on your computer, logged on to Gmail and wrote an email that you’ll regret writing in the morning? Well, it happens to some people, and Google has a method that may help you from drunk-mailing the people in your address book.
The new Gmail feature will ask five math equations before you actually send it. Here’s the kicker. You have only 60 seconds to answer the questions correctly. If you get the questions wrong or fail to answer in the time allotted, you’ll get a message that says, “Water and bed for you.”
The feature will not be available on iPhones or Blackberrys which feature Gmail applications. So, if you find yourself crying in the corner of the club typing a botched I-want-you-back email to your ex-boo on your iPhone, you’re on your own.
Cell phones abroad will actually help mobile users from drunk-communication. LG released a phone in Korea that actually features a breathalyzer. Virgin Mobile users in Austrailia can use a feature that will allow them to block certain numbers at late hours of the night.
Ok, I’m guilty of drunk-dialing, but it’s never anything emotional. It’s always a call to someone so I can laugh my drunkness away. I don’t really see myself logging on to my personal Gmail account and emailing. Drunk-texting is something someone needs to combat because texting is becoming more common than talking on the phone for some people. Then again, who doesn’t want their best friend to call them at 3 a.m. and keep saying, “I love you, man!” Makes you feel the love.

If you haven’t heard of “Will it Blend,” it’s a campaign by Blendtec blenders. There are many, many more things that they blend including golf clubs, lighters, glow sticks, anything you can think of –literally. I like the campaign because it is a subtle pitch for their blenders. They don’t tell you, “Buy our blenders.” They show you how good they are by blending the shit out of all of your favorite stuff. Here the iPhone, a beloved piece of technology in my life, meets it’s demise. Also, check out Will it Blend? -iPhone 3G

Imagine you’re listening to a song produced by your favorite producer. The music enthusiast in you wants to hear just the piano chords on the instrumental, minus what ever abomination of a rapper is on it, so you cut him out and just enjoy the “musicality” of the track. Sounds like a perfect world, doesn’t it?
Well, Korean engineers have taken us one step closer to Utopia with the design of a new digital music format that is able to separate sounds, such as specific instruments and even voices. Guitars, piano, chorus, drum, voice and base are all divided via the new MT9 extension’s six-channel audio equalizer.
This could mean instant instrumentals for all rap-hopefuls to get a good 16 in on, or flawless a capellas for DJ-mixes and blend tapes. Musicians can easily learn their favorite tune by singling out their instrument of choice. Read the rest of this entry »

As Prodigy serves his three-plus years in prison, his voice will not go unheard.
With the HNIC2 blog in full effect, Cell-block P’s views and opinions will stretch beyond his HNIC rants to a more structured Vibe[dot]com for a bi-weekly blog post.
Touching on subjects such as race, corruption, war, and all things ‘hood, Prodigy continues to convey more thought provoking messages.
His latest entry responds to Sean Bell’s killers ‘not guilty’ verdict. Though, many believe the officers getting a slap on the wrist is about race, P offers a different theory. “The Sean Bell murder coverup is less about race,” Prodigy said, “and more about power.” Read the rest of this entry »

“And you know why they made the new 20s cuz I got all the old ones.” -Jadakiss, “Why”
The mint rolled out the new $5 bills today. They were shipped to banks nation-wide today, beginning the withdrawal of the old small-headed Lincolns. The new bills have two watermarks due to counterfeiters bleaching the 5s and reprinting counterfeit hundreds. Good scheme, if you ask me.

Bentley may be taking aim for the skies as Sami Hayek rolls out a concept of a Bentley Jet. The exterior is as classy as a GT or Flying Spur but the interior is more like a modern home. If you were wondering what baller-ass luxury rappers were going to talk about next, this may be it. Spotted at Corporate Takeover. Continue for more pics. Read the rest of this entry »

Where do I start? If only him and Eminem were still going at it! LOL This is one of two pics that were posted on former Made Men member and Source magazine CEO, Ray Benzino’s Myspace page. This pic has been taken down, but not before illseed got hold of it. There is another one that he still has up with the caption, “You gotta have a lot of mirrors” where he’s standing naked in a shower looking up toting a camera phone. Continue for that one.
Isn’t Benzino like 40-something? This is the type of pic a 14-year-old girl or J Smoove takes. I see these on a Summer Jam screen in the near future.
DISCLAIMER: In no way do I want to assassinate Ray Benzino’s character. It is evident that he has done that himself with this one. Read the rest of this entry »
