American Artifact : The Rise of American Rock Poster Art (movie trailer)

DVD available now: www.AmericanArtifactMovie.com American Artifact chronicles the rise of American rock poster art since its birth in the '60s. Director Merle Becker crosses the country interviewing rock poster artists from the different eras to discover that America is currently in the midst of a 21st century "rock poster art movement", where thousands of artists around the country are doing silk screened rock poster art inspired by their local scene, the music of our time, and the spirit of our era. The film explores the history rise of the current rock poster movement in America, and features a cast of quirky / interesting, and extremely talented rock poster artists, talking about their work, and telling the story of their underground art movement. Beginning in the 1960s in San Francisco with the birth of the dance concert, a rock poster accompanied almost every show that was put on during that era. Soon, people began pulling the posters off of the telephone poles, almost as quickly as they were put up, and promoters such as Bill Graham started to give them out at the end of his shows to advertise the next week's show. The art, both beautiful and edgy, closely parallels the changes in American culture throughout the decades. "Posters" in the '80s were actually "flyers" done for punk shows on Xerox machines in local libraries, or at Kinko's. They were glued to buildings and phone poles surreptitiously at night by kids in the scene. In this pre-computer era, the flyers <b>...</b>

Visa Card with one-time code (Scenario 1)

Paris, 4 November 2008 Visa Europe today announced that a range of Europes leading banks will take part in pilots of its new card with a one-time code solution which was announced a few months ago. Four banks including MBNA, a Bank of America company in the UK, Cornèr Bank in Switzerland, Cal in Israel and IW Bank in Italy will all start to pilot the new solution over the next few months. The Visa card with one-time code offers banks an innovative solution to authenticate consumers through an alpha-numeric display and a 12-button keypad built into a conventional credit, debit or prepaid card. It is a neat solution for consumers to use and also contains a battery designed to last three years. The product has been developed in conjunction with EMUE technologies. Thanks to this product, cardholders will be protected by a secure solution for online shopping, when ordering over the telephone or for online banking. When used with Verified by Visa (VbV) the consumer would not need to register or remember usernames and passwords, instead they would enter their PIN into the card which creates a unique code for a specific purchase or transaction. The card will help in the fight against card-not-present (CNP) fraud in two ways. Firstly, as the one-time code generated is for a specific transaction, once used it cannot be used again by anyone. Secondly a fraudster would need to be able to get hold of a card and know the persons PIN in order to commit fraud. By positioning this <b>...</b>

iPad 2, Android 3.0 & Verizon iPhone

The new iPad 2 from apple is on its way, it's been a year since the announcement of the first one, the announcement for the next one will come real soon, this is a no-brainer, but it doesn't stop geek celeb Kevin Rose from claiming he has the scoop and claiming he has secret information on "good authority" about iPad2, to get him some press, when any idiot could have (and many did already, "predict" the same thing based on simple bloody logic, no imaginary "authority" required. "Digg founder Kevin Rose, said on his blog that the next iPad is imminent. I have it on good authority that Apple will be announcing the iPad 2 in the next "3-4 weeks"." well DUUUUHHHH that's BLEEDINGLY OBVIOUS KEVIN, whats the matter? you name not in a headline showing you as some kind of "authority" for more than a week? kevinrose.com I'm also officially sick of listening to "people in the know" who have information from un-named but "reliable sources" claim that the Verizon iPhone is days away from announcement, every few months since the iPhone was first released this has been going on some jackass has predicted it... just stop making crap up you asshats! when Verizon or apple say it's coming, THEN you can publish stories about it coming. publishing wild guesses from un-named sources and calling them "rumor" is just SHITTY Journalism & only doing it for blind page hits and offer up absolutely no FACTS or insight.

Charlie Sheen On The Dan Patrick Show

Transcript by www.newsy.com BY BRICE SANDER ANCHOR KYRSTEN SKULBORSTAD You're watching multisource entertainment news analysis from Newsy Charlie Sheen, sober counselor? The troubled star of Two and a Half Men made a surprise appearance on the Dan Patrick Radio Show to dole out some addiction advice -- unsolicited, of course. Who were his words of wisdom aimed at? None other than Lindsay Lohan. DAN PATRICK "What's your one piece of advice if I have Lindsay Lohan on?" CHARLIE SHEEN: "Work on your impulse control. Just try to think things through a little bit before you do 'em." (Today Show) That comment got everybody talking, especially the late night comics. Here's Jimmy Fallon's take. JIMMY FALLON: "Later in the interview, Charlie Sheen said that Lindsay Lohan should work on her impulse control. Whoa. That -- that's like the pot calling the kettle to buy pot." Just about everyone seemed to agree with Fallon. But The Hollywood Gossip asks, should we really be surprised? "When Charlie Sheen is offering you advice, you know you have problems. Then again it's Lindsay Lohan we're talking about." Hollyscoop points out- getting advice from a guy who can't seem to stay sober himself should be one heck of a wake-up call. "Taking advice on 'impulse control' from Charlie Sheen is like taking parenting advice from, well, Charlie Sheen. But if I were Lindsay, I'd listen closely if someone like Sheen worried about me." Sheen told Dan Patrick- he just doesn't like being sober. He's <b>...</b>
