Dr. Horrible Gives People A Reason To Buy The DVD

One of the issues we regularly discuss around here when it comes to business models is the fact that anyone producing content needs to give consumers a real reason to actually buy something scarce. If it's just the same thing they can get elsewhere for free, there's not much incentive. It looks like Joss Whedon has taken at least some of that to heart. Earlier this year, Whedon got a lot of attention for the release of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, an online three-part video musical. While it seemed like some of the attention paid to it was overblown (oh my! TV people can make videos on the internet just like regular people!), that shouldn't take away from the fact that the video, itself was really, really good.

How massive layoffs at Microsoft will affect Windows Mobile ?

Second: you have to realize that the upcoming 2009 Mid Year Career Discussion review process is one of the most important career inflection-points for you that we've had in a long, long time. Already my team is being asked to review people on the HR Watch List deeply and especially look at any two-time-plus 10%'s, no matter whether they are Situation I (eh, should be fired) or Situation II (effective but have reached their career maximum - again, a horrible, horrible concept).

Morning Piss: Lay Off Travoltas' Tragedy. Please.

The horrible death of Jett Travolta, a boy whose body wasn't exactly in tip-top shape, was such a shock to most of us—just not the few who are now crying that Jett's untimely end could have somehow been avoided, should his parents not have been followers of the famously antidrug Scientology religion.

Bank Failures Hit All-Time High In 2008, Ranked By Assets

December 27, 2008 (LPAC)--2008 was a horrible year for the U.S. banking system, with bank failures hitting an all-time, when ranked by assets and deposits. During the year, 25 banks and thrifts were closed, with total assets of $373 billion and total deposits of $235 billion. This easily surpasses the highs of the mid 1980s-early 1990s crisis, when 534 banks and thrifts were closed, with assets of $164 billion and deposits of $138 billion. [Figure 1]

Car manufacturers use them to make us swoon, and then they remove all the cool bits and send yet another horrible hatchback to the showroom.

Duminy and Steyn lead stunning revival

JP Duminy's maiden hundred and a first half-century from the No. 10 Dale Steyn saved South Africa as they turned a horrible situation into an outstanding recovery and earned a five-run lead at tea. South Africa started the morning at 7 for 198 and were looking for a miracle to avoid a large deficit in reply to Australia's 394. It came through Duminy and his tail-end team-mates as they controlled an under-manned attack and posted 8 for 399.

The lawsuit by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart Inc. says Gloria and Michael Lim are causing "foul and harmful odors" to come from their 16th floor apartment by cooking and smoking large quantities of fish.

One Gag Me With Cocaine Blind Vice

Toothy Tile, we hardly knew ya. Last week it was signed confidentiality agreements with your male paramours (other than your main man); this week it's far, far, far worse: pretend, horrible sex with a member of the opposite sex, in hopes that your studly reputation will somehow be fixed. Ain't gonnna work—here's why:

Worst Celebrity Baby Names of 2008

Ever think that your parents saddled you with a strange name? Thinking about making your new baby’s name unique? Take heed: some of the more unusual names are just straight up strange and will cause your kid grief for years. Take pity on these Hollywood kids who were saddled with these horrible celebrity baby names:

Gossip Girl Clone High

Um, this hoedown just blew my mind so I can't guarantee full linearality. Here's the shit, cervical cancer not included: Gave a cute tattoo girl my CW T-shirt. It was fun like it always is. Move to Austin if you're not cool enough where you live currently. Anyway, dumb drama. Lexi & Aaron and Serena & Dan goes like this: imagine if you will an unholy creature born of Aaron Rose's artistic pretention and Dan's... congenital same. Her name is Lexi. She is like if Aaron and Dan and Vanessa had a horrible baby, and she used to date Aaron, but now she's got her sights set on Dan. I've already made the catshit coffee joke ten times so the fact that she embodies it I can't even say how nice that makes me feel. Her Humphreyness bugs Serena, of course, because Serena is still weird but is now also full of shit.
