On Wednesday evening, February 20th, the full Moon over the Americas will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010.
The Sun goes down. The Moon comes up. You go out and look at the sky. Observing the eclipse is that easy. Maximum eclipse, and maximum beauty, occurs at 10:26 pm EST (7:26 pm PST).

As I reported earlier on 21 minute downtime YouTube experienced, one of the first things I noticed was the new Heart logo. This is of course subject to change after tomorrow but after looking further more, here’s a new add-on - ADS IN VIDEOS!
This was bound to happen as we all know. Let’s just hope they keep it nice like the Chrysler ad I saw in one video. There’s a little Yellow Tag on the movie line telling you when the ad will show up. I just hope we don’t get 10’s of them in videos soon
What do you think? You like it or not?
Go to YouTube.com and check some videos. Ads are dynamic so they do not show up on all videos yet, and when I pasted the video above - the ad was gone I did take a screenshot pretty quick:
Now this might sound strange but, YouTube did not have these ads earlier right???? If they did - I’m then really lost since I’ve never ever seen them!!
Can anyone confirm
For some odd reason our server experienced a major heart-attack an hour ago. It’s slowly recovering so please forgive the snail-speed experience! 
Thanks for your understanding. Doctor says it’ll live so no worries, OK?

HAHAHA
Also, we’re officially the first to report on this
Digg the story here:

Update: Now that was "short" lasting. 8:55pm Eastern and it’s back on line. Measly 21 minute of downtime, and all this for what? All I can see is a new logo - which nicely coincides with the Valentines day tomorrow
Happy V-Day Everyone!
Here is some news for all you Starbucks lovers. Starbucks will be closed on Tuesday, February 26th for three hours. Apparently it is to re-train their coffee making machines on how to make a better drink for you. Luckily for some early morning birds it will be closed from 5:30pm - 8:30pm.
Gotcha with the title, eh?

Last two posts were not too happy, here’s something to cheer us all up and something you need to know (if you’re ever on a Cash Cab I guess)

This just proves how one idiot police officer smudges a name of a dozen good ones out there. What happened to those times when people were actually trying to be good to each other before anything else, and what’s with all these people on a power trip?

This is simply ridiculous and should not be tolerated. The officer in Baltimore has been suspended for doing this, but I think he should be fired from his job and jailed too.
Traumatizing a 14 year old, telling him someone’s going to kill him if he keeps on doing (what, skateboarding?), and pushing him to the ground is unacceptable and should be punishable?
Would I be in jail if I had done this to a 14 year-old on the street?
- YOU BET!!! AND HE SHOULD BE TOO!
Props to the smart and brave kid who kept on shooting with the camera and, kept his cool and got this whole thing on tape! You rule kid!
This of course does not mean all officers are like this, I’ve personally met and know many - but when people get out of the line - they should be responsible for their doing! I know you and I would be held accountable to the full extent of the law!
Unconfirmed but most likely true: It turns out that the kid really doesn’t have a father (as he says in the video) and the news report says he is diabetic and it made his blood sugar spike.

Finally, a thing we’ve all been waiting for. Zibri has just launched an application called ZiPhone, which supposedly jailbreaks any version of the iPhone, including those with the latest firmware 1.1.3.
I am downloading it right now and will report on success as soon as it happens
Here’s his blog: ZiBri’s Blog
And a link to the direct download (Windows version): here
Proceed with care though. While it should work, and also bring other "bricked" phones back from dead - there’s always a risk of something going wrong. You’ve been warned
UPDATE: Checked it out and it works like a charm. By FAR, the easiest and most complete Jailbreak EVER!!! ANYONE CAN DO THIS!
I got a brand new 16GB iPhone from the store, put it into the Restore mode - and in 2 and a half minutes I had a fully unlocked, jailbroken and ready to use iPhone.
