I guess everyone's favorite mixtape site, Muxtape, has gotten in trouble with the RIAA.

from their blog, Muxtape.tumblr.com:
No artists or labels have complained. The site is not closed indefinitely. Stay tuned.

I have full confidence Muxtape will continue to live, it is an amazing interface for listening to music on web.

The 2nd image below shows you the 1st MuxtapeForBands site.
this is for Francis and the Light's A Modern Promise, I wish every musician had a clean site as this one.

View Larger Map So weird, I was just looking a google street view and I didn't notice they have index pretty much every street possible even the ones in your neighborhoods.

BMW have unveiled their concept car GINA which rethinks the notion of an external hard shell. The body is made from a seamless polyurethane-coated Lycra fabric stretched over a moveable aluminum frame allowing the owner to change the car's shape. Purely conceptual, there is no intention of this technology ever going into production. GINA (Geometry and functions In 'N' Adaptions) has been in development for six years, the working model is built on a Z8 chassis and has four panels which take about two hours to put on.

Mac vs PC - JAPANESE Style: I don't really know what they are saying, but their body language is funny enough. There are 8 commercials to check out on Apple's Japan site. Apple.com/JP - Mac ADs	iTunes/ iPod Silhouette Ad: I love that Apple is still rocking the silhouettes, now with a lot of color and textures (the evolution of such a simple idea). You can pretty much freeze any frame in this commercial and plot the picture out any make a pretty sweet poster. The song is Mi Swing Es Tropical by Nickodemus & Quantic Apple.com/itunes/ads

Researchers have devised a mathematical formula for calculating just how much you'll procrastinate on that Very Important Thing you've been putting off doing.

The equation's factors are the desire to complete the task (U); the expectation of success (E); the value of completion (V); the immediacy of task (I) ; and the personal sensitivity to delay (D). The magic formula is U = E x V / I x D.

If you enhance your workout with the new Nike+ iPod Sport Kit, you may be making yourself a surveillance target.

A report from four University of Washington researchers to be released Thursday reveals that security flaws in the new RFID-powered device from Nike and Apple make it easy for tech-savvy stalkers, thieves and corporations to track your movements. With just a few hundred dollars and a little know-how, someone could even plot your running routes on a Google map without your knowledge.

How you ask? Well the same way Myspace pretty much did, but with just a little more class.

The plan was for facebook to change their admission policy today, but because of the "Live Feed" fiasco last week they are postponing it.

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Social network Facebook plans to completely ditch its admissions policy, welcoming anyone with internet access. The major change was scheduled for today, but has now been postponed until next week while the company struggles to regroup from last week's member revolt in response to new activity-tracking features.

I really don't know if this will work in facebook's favor. One of the nice parts about facebook was it's exclusiveness. It's kind of ironic because in a interview last year, Mark Zuckerberg was celebrating the fact the users feel comfortable puttin private/real information in their profile because of the limited membership. Many people I know already have both a Facebook and Myspace account, and many are saying Myspace is better, for communicating with people (mainly people that can't have facebook accounts) and the profiles are more annoying personalized, I don't think anyone is going to be embedding Youtube videos into facebook anytime soon.
