Hacker claims to have cracked iPod restrictions
Unlocking the playback restrictions of Apple's iPod and iTunes could free users from some restrictions Apple and its rivals place on digital music.
A hacker known for cracking the copy-protection technology in DVDs claims to have unlocked the playback restrictions of Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod and iTunes music products and plans to license his code to others.
OH BEAUTIFUL DAY! This is great news for for all with MP3 players. iPods dominate the MP3 market, therefore making its users slaves to the iTunes Music Store (or limewire, ahem,cough cough). Now iPod users could finally use other services that allow unlimited downloads for a flat fee, like Yahoo, and vice versa!

Happy Birthday GWB! No, not the president, but the George Washington Bridge!
- On October 25, 1931, 75 years ago today, the George Washington Bridge opened to traffic. Spanning the Hudson between Washington Heights and Fort Lee, New Jersey, the bridge cost about $60 million to build.
- Plans for the bridge were in the works as early as 1906. The lower deck was completed in 1962, bringing the total number of traffic lanes to 14.
- The bridge span is more than 4,700 feet. Last year 107-million vehicles used the bridge.
- When it first opened, the toll was just 60 cents. Today the cash toll is $6 for cars to cross the bridge city-bound, and trucks are now only allowed on the upper level.
- The George Washington Bridge is the fourth-largest suspension bridge in the world.
TrashyPantz Traffic Tip of the day: The GWB Lower Level always has less traffic than the upper! It's a proven fact by the Segall family after many, many miles travelled over the GWB!

The horror! Fox asks fans for 'Simpsons' promos.
Courtesy of MediaLife Magazine:
The promos for the newest “Simpsons” Halloween episode merit an official subtitle: “Edited from the electronic lagoon.” “Simpsons” fans can create their own 30-second advertisements online as part of a contest to promote Treehouse of Horror XVII, which airs on Nov. 5 on Fox. Visitors to the official “Simpsons” web site can use video clips from the episode, sound effects, music cues, text and title cards to create a preview of the Halloween episode. There's a MySpace page for the contest as well. The winner will receive tickets to the 400th “Simpsons” episode premiere and see their promo air on Fox. Remixing cartoons is becoming quite the online fascination. TurboNick, Nickelodeon’s broadband site, also recently began offering a program that lets kids mash up their favorite animated shows.

Why I am tired and late for work this week
I was Jewish guilted into dogsitting for my mom's dog, Polo (seen on the right). While he looks so adorable, don't be fooled! He is a neurotic, high maintenance Bischon who does not like to sleep or just chill out. I took him to the park the other day where I found an empty, fenced in baseball field and let him run loose to try to tire him out! As you will see from the pic on the right, he chose to run the bases in the red clay sand (he could have a tight race against Jose Reyes) instead of the grass, and I had to give him a half bath to make his red legs go back to white.
Also beware that this dog is a LIAR. He stands at the bottom of the staircase and won't go up the stairs if you are up there. He cries and barks and will only go upstairs if you carry him up halfway! When coming home from work the past 2 days, Polo has been nowhere in sight because HE IS UPSTAIRS!! We caught him red handed- er, red legged- in the loft!
Polo heads back home on Sunday, then peace and happiness and rest can be restored in the Murphy household.

A Playoff Diary
"My old college buddy Kurt Sanger points out that Vito Spatafore probably attended last night's Yankee game because he thought his old chef boyfriend in New Hampshire was now the Tigers closer. Seriously, look at Todd Jones' baseball card. That's the guy, right?"
Who else can write about relief pitcher Todd Jones looking much like Johnny Cakes from the Sopranos? The Sports Guy Bill Simmons can!!

1 vs. 100 vs. Deal or No Deal
NBC has done very well with one primetime game show hosted by a former TV star, "Deal or no Deal" with “St. Elsewhere’s” Howie Mandel. So why not do it again? Starting next month the network will air "1 vs. 100," a European quiz game that will be hosted by “Full House’s” Bob Saget. The show will premiere October 13 at 9 p.m., later moving to 8 on Fridays, and will feature one contestant taking on 100 adversaries in a trivia game for a chance at $1 million.
Do you think one of the questions will be, "Who said the line 'Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?' in the movie Half Baked?"
