In our preliminary findings, we find that AOL 9.0 (free version) is currently badware because it installs additional software without telling the user, it forces the user to take certain actions, it adds various components to Internet Explorer and the taskbar without disclosure, it may automatically update without the user’s consent, and it fails to uninstall completely.

Update: It seems that in my drunken stupor I failed to realize this is old news and there’s already a season 3. Thanks Paul, you frickin a-hole.
Arrested Development has been picked up for Season 3. Says Peter Liguori, President, Entertainment for Fox:
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is one of the best comedies on television. The decision to order another season becomes easy when you consider its amazing cast, creative brilliance, critical acclaim and advertiser appeal,” said Liguori. “It’s my first official pick-up since taking the job, and I think it’s a great way to start.”

Check out the Jon De Lucia Group’s debut CD and go see them this Friday, Aug 18th @ 9:00 PM at Ryles in Cambridge, MA. I’ll be there and if you like jazz so should you.
Jon is an amazing musician and composer not to mention the superb musicianship and emotion that the group brings. Surrounding himself with some of the best players around he really puts on a great show.
Here’s a couple samples from the cd:
The Glass Bead Game – mp3
Amir The Brain Kid – mp3

Hmm does anyone see anything wrong with this? Maybe the fact that the extra charges almost equal the price of a single ticket! That’s a pretty convenient charge…
