Ok ,so I know that you all have to be completely sick of hearing about how “awesome” Second Life is from every Joe Journalist & Ian Idiot. Well thankfully there’s a new website, GetAFirstLife.com, that’s ripping on those second life morons. On a side note their ad system is done by Google, who ironicly placed ads Second Life on their page.

We’ve heard this was coming again and again, so I guess It was only a matter of time until it happened. Cingular, Sprint, & Verizon are all apparently testing out advertisements for your cell phone. So not only will your cellphone give you radiation, but now it will give you commercials as well. Look for the ad systems to be rolled out in about a year. More after the jump.

As if that wasn’t enough the US supposedly is responsible for over a third (34.2%) of the internets malicious code. That means that all that spam and malware you’ve been complaining about just might be coming from the good ol’ US of A.

And from the way back machine comes an email form 2003, between Microsoft men Jim Allchin & Amir Majidimehr. Where Allchin suggested a possible partnership with, wait for it, wait for it…Apple Computer (I know that it’s Apple Inc. now but this was 2003, remember?). Well that was a close one, could you have imagined what kind of weird step children that partnership could have created? I mean the HP/iPod deal was bad enough, but MS?

And as always toss in some captions in the comment section.
