Pizza box goes to hell

A chain of New Zealand Pizza parlors, Hell Pizza, delivers its tasty pizza in box that does more than just keeps the pizza hot. After you've finished your meal and perhaps have a slice or two left over, the box can be broken down and folded into a coffin perfect for your dinner remains.

Check out the pizza box transformation.

Petition: Stop the RIAA from suing thousands of fans!

From Boing Boing:

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is on a rampage, launching legal attacks against average Americans from coast to coast. After over 18,000 lawsuits and counting against P2P users, file sharing has continued to increase rapidly. Meanwhile, music fans, like 12 year-old Brittany LaHara, college student Cassi Hunt, and parent of five Cecilia Gonzalez, are being forced to pay thousands of dollars they do not have to settle RIAA-member lawsuits, and many other innocent individuals are being caught in the crossfire.

This irrational crusade is not generating a single penny for the artists that the RIAA claims to protect. The RIAA should be working to create a rational, legal means by which its customers can take advantage of file sharing technology and pay a fair price for the music they love. With artists increasingly turning against the lawsuits, momentum may be shifting in favor of a better way forward.

Copyright law shouldn't make criminals out of more than 60 million Americans — tell Congress that it's time to stop the madness!

We have 73044 signatures so far - this is amazing! If we can get 100,000 signatures, we will deliver the petition to the Senate and House Commerce and Judiciary Commitees.

Britney Spears To Hold Mystery Press Conference

From FemaleFirst.co.uk:

Britney Spears will hold a press conference on Thursday (May 4, 2006), but even her closest aides have no idea what she's going to announce.

The Toxic superstar has invited selected media representatives, journalists and record industry executives to the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The 24-year-old has not revealed what the subject matter of the press conference will be, but it is widely anticipated she will officially announce her second pregnancy with husband Kevin Federline.

Sony executive Karen Phillips says, "Britney hasn't held a press conference in so long that we know it's something big - pregnancy, a split, we're not sure."

Spears and Federline wed in September 2004 after a whirlwind romance and have eight-month-old son Sean Preston together.

The couple have been plagued by persistent rumours of relationship problems and have not been seen together in the past few weeks.

Jive Records and Spears' management team are reportedly planning to release her fifth album in November (06), and a world tour is tentatively scheduled for 2007.

Spears was also due to perform at numerous award shows this year (06), but has since cancelled the commitments without explanation.

I'm looking forward to her next album and hoping she gets back on top and is once again the entertainer that so many are used to and expecting.

Lesson for the Day: Don't buy a Powerbook in a Dark Alley

The saying "you pay for what you get" is true in many circumstances. Here is just one additional example to prove that point.

Let's say you're looking for a screaming deal on an Apple Powerbook. Apparently someone who (poor thing) must not have "all of the lights on upstairs" purchased, what they thought, was a brand new Powerbook. Turns out that not what they got. While the box was authentic, this person's $200 simply got them a really poorly made fake laptop. Constructed of a gray garbage bag and cardboard, it was then spray-painted platinum silver and topped off with a hand-painted Apple logo.

You pay for what you get!
