- Arizona Journalist Exacts Revenge on Spam-Slinging Musician

Here's How Not to Approach a Journalist on Facebook

Here's How Not to Approach a Journalist on Facebook:

Oh, am I ever angry - as a native Arizonan, as someone who considers himself a feminist, as a musician, as someone who knows what a wonderful person Nicki is, and as someone who tries to be a decent human being.

Guys like this are why people hate Los Angeles, and musicians who do stuff like this are part of the problem that chips away at the music scene. This is what makes promoters and people who run venues throw their hands up and walk away. This is what reduces opportunities for appreciative artists, those of us who actually value the people who put in the hard work to make shows happen.

Hey Daniel… don’t call women names (or anybody, for that matter). Don’t utilize female anatomy as an insult, therefore implying that to be a woman is bad. Don’t put down the state that I was born in and where I made my home for 28 years. Don’t insult my friend Nicki. And don’t expect big rock ‘n roll success for your band Spence. Life may be short, but when it comes to self-entitled, sexist, misogynist, jerky behavior, memories are long. I may have to share L.A., this awesome city I call home, with you. But that doesn’t mean you and your attitude are welcome here.

T-Mobile internals confirm Samsung is holding the Android world Hostage

T-Mobile internals confirm Samsung is holding the Android world Hostage:

parislemon:

Not clear how good the source is but this makes sense given everything we know about OEMs, carriers, and Android:

Our source has confirmed that there is already a fully functioning 2.2 OTA update ready to be pushed out by T-Mobile but Samsung has told them NOT to release the update for fear of it decreasing the value of the newly announced Vibrant 4G+.

Fun times in Android land!

Essentially: We don’t care if you bought our last latest and greatest phone. Unless you bought the latest latest and greatest phone, you’re dead to us.

Or, to put it another way: You want to upgrade to Android 2.2? Sure, pay us a few hundred dollars and we’ll give it to your on this new piece of shit phone that will be out of date in 90 days.
