Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

Not that ‘I want my MTV’ stuff at the beginning, skip to where the drums kick in.

I’ve just had, for the first time ever, a computer call me and tell me that I’ve won a free caribbean cruise. While I was watching an episode of Coupling. How rude. Usually I at least get a person talking to me. Anyway, the message went something like this:

Congratulations! You’ve won a free caribbean cruise. To reclaim your prize, press 9. That’s the nine-key on your telephone.

In English, yes. Note that I live in the Netherlands. I wonder if they were calling from the US. If so, I suppose I should have just let the thing talk while I continued watching television. Unfortunately I only thought of that after hanging up immediately.

Sony busts out version 2.0 of PSP firmware + new ceramic white PSP:
White PlayStation Portable

I want one. This is so much cooler than the (already infinitely cool) black one. Shame they aren’t officially available in europe yet, at least as far as I know. Sony needs to get with the program and release these things at the same time, or nearly so, worldwide.

… if I took the cookie dough out of the Ben & Jerry’s ‘Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough’ icecream and baked it.

Would the cookies be any good?
