Without Breasts there is no Paradise – New Show on NBC

I got kind of exited a yesterday when I heard from my girlfriend that they are going to take one of our favorite shows (or novela) "Sin tetas no hay paraiso" (which translates more accurately to "Without Tits there is no Paradise") to NBC and Telemundo, and make it into an regular series, various sources have reported.

Now I was fortunate enough to get a hold of the original 7 DVDs brought directly from Colombia (now don't download them via BitTorrent, because that would be a shame, and very, very wrong) and my girlfriend and I have been hooked on it ever since.

This is a Sopranos type of a series; sex, mafia, money, corruption, violence and beautiful women. I would think it would be more appropriate to have it on a paid network such as HBO, so the story remains truthful to the book by the same title, like the novela did.Sin Tetas no Hay Paraiso is  the story of a poor 17 year-old girl, Catalina,  from Pereira, Colombia who becomes obsessed with having large breasts and will do everything (and I mean everything) to achieve this goal.

A killer app for the iPhone

Earlier today I was driving in awful LA traffic, and I thought of a killer application for the iPhone, but first let me give you a bit of background.

At home, I've got an old server, that was given to me by an client, which permanently lies in a closet. It runs Windows XP and has all my files (music, pictures, videos, apps, etc). I have Hamachi running on it, and I share my music using iTunes, so that my girlfriend and I can listen to my music (80+ gb) from anywhere, using Hamachi and iTunes. I also have Orb installed so I can stream all my media to my phone.

- BAM! -

 Thats when I got the idea. Doesn't the iPhone run a stripped down version of OSX? Couldn't there be an application that does some sort of "VPNing" so that I could potentially stream any of my songs (or photos, videos, etc) to my iPhone from my iTunes at home?

I already do this on my smartphone, that runs over Cingular's Edge network (with an unlimited data plan). I've got a Cingular 3125 and I've got Orb on my server at home. Now, streaming media to a phone drains its battery pretty More >
