March 23rd, 2011
I did a whole lot of nothing today :]. I woke up to a Guardian-A.S. type interview, ate lunch shortly thereafter, and then proceeded to play games on the computer while subsequently taking care of rather mundane tasks: updating Google calendar, organizing my computer folders, and checking all the websites I’m currently subscribed to. In the process I also wrote my California Review Article for April’s edition. After dinner, I watched some American Idol (which brought back nostalgic memories for when I would watch it every Tuesday-Wednesday night in high school, watch it freshman year of college with Julie, Torres, Howard, Tiffany, and Michelle Kyong (give and take), and sophomore year with Torres, Howard, & Leandro (give and take). Too bad those times are gone, because I rarely ever get a chance to watch the show live! With good reason though, this season is terrible. I’m personally rooting for Paul McDonald though. Anyway, that’s about it for today – I ended the night by playing games and reading things on Stumbleupon (I’m currently addicted to Death by Rage Comics)!

| On March 23rd, 2010, President Obama has signed his healthcare bill, which has been hailed as the most expansive social legislation in decades, saying it enshrines “the core principle that everybody should have some basic security when it comes to their health care.” Having signed the measure, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House, he spoke to an audience of of the Democratic lawmakers who have riden the legislative process. They interrupted him repeatedly with cheers, applause and standing ovations. FAIL………. |

| LimeWire, the company behind the free peer-to-peer file sharing program of the same name, is being sued for $75 trillion, reports Law.com. Citing Section 504(c) of the Copyright Act, a team of thirteen record companies claim that Lime Wire’s file-sharing program made the company liable for the numerous alleged copyright infringements committed by users. The maximum award per infringement is $150,000, which the record companies seek to multiply by the 10,000 estimated infringements. But U.S. Federal District Court Judge Kimba Wood noted LimeWire’s massive number of users, which the company said number more than 50 million per month, make the record companies’ interpretation untenable. YEAH, because 75 trillion is a completely reasonable number to ask for…. NOT! |
