Media: October 2005 Archives

That's my contestant-number in Idol (Same as American Idol, for instance)... I came, I saw, I sang “Lasä-mä papa la mare” (romanian techno-pop) and left.

For some strange reason I didn't get a callback... Hmmz... Funky.

Google.com is down! Seriously - “Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because it can’t find the server “www.google.com”.”

Same goes for the local Google-versions..! Amazing, but still pretty annoying when you pass 5 minutes!

I just noticed that the BBC now uses the news 'scrollbar', that is otherwise disabled during other programs (i.e not the newscasts), to update on events in top stories, for instance the Bali-bombings.

This may be something that's been done since forever - and I just havn't noticed it yet, or it could be part of the widespread visual change on BBC World..

Ok, so I tend to avoid CNN, mostly due to the fact that whenever I start to watch it, I'm shocked to the border of heart attack by the degree of carelessness towards objectivity and ethics held by this network. All served in a nice, tabloid wrapping.
