Rhonda from MySpace says the network has had a spam infestation in its application profiles. So much so that it shut down the forum display. Complaints were coming in like crazy. Now users interested in “more exciting forums” are advised to carry on their conversations elsewhere for the time being. Free bulletins are suggested. How’s that suit you? At the risk of making an irate user base even more angry and loud, perhaps this is ...

So, Microsoft ex-CEO and incredibly rich philanthropist Bill Gates got together with Seinfeld and made a commercial. Now if you haven’t seen it yet I won’t hold it against you but it definitely has been one of the more talked about subjects in the tech blogosphere since its debut. Not surprisingly just about everyone who has commented on it thinks it is either stupid or it just made no sense at all. Mind you a ...

Metallica’s new album has leaked out a week or two early, unsurprisingly. It isn’t surprsing because it’s Metallica, but that it happens to most every artist these days. Some record store somewhere will sell a copy or two earlier than they should, one of those folks will share it with their friends, and lickety-split, it’s all over the Intertubes. In this case, that’s almost exactly what happened, according to Blabbermouth METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has ...

Kiel Johnson’s solo show The Awesomist Tomorrow opens on Satuday, September 6, and will remain in POVevolving’s Chung King Road space throughout September. The artist, who has collaborated on collections for designer Todd Oldham, has shown his wood and ...

This house should probably be called the “Barragán Fountain House” considering all the attention it has received because of the fountain on the property, which just happens to have been designed by the famous Mexican architect Luis Barragán. The LA Times wrote a whole article about it - here, and the City of Los Angeles has declared the fountain to be a Historic Cultural Monument, but besides the fountain, there’s a 4 bedroom/4.5 bathroom house ...

Despite the reams of new job postings being released day in and day out, the treachery of the job search has been greatly facilitated with online engines and listing services. And specific to the tech sector, sites like Dice, and even various new media publications have really put strong emphasis on niche positions and connecting the seeking with the seekers. Still, having to browse multiple sites for something like a spot within a startup isn’t ...

Yesterday New Jersey asked me to define "sig alert." I told him it means there's bad traffic that's worse than usual, like a whole freeway is shut down or something large is on fire. (There is a technical explanation but that is what le google is for.) I also gave him what I thought was a very valid tip: If you are heading toward the freeway and you see more than one traffic helicopter circling ...

LA Times: In a surprising and ambitious move, local transportation officials said Tuesday that they would pursue planning for two subway lines to the Westside, with one train along Wilshire Boulevard and a shorter leg partially following Santa Monica Boulevard before diving south to meet the Wilshire line. Of course, the effort is still hypothetical, and Los Angeles still needs the money to build the multibillion-dollar rail line. But officials are showing unusual bravura for ...

Fox issued its first opener in the form of a two-hour Prison Break special on Labor Day in the US.
