Great ending!
Q&A
Is Charlie really dead? Not sure, but likely IMO
Who is in the coffin? My friends and I think it was Ben
What's up with a "flash forward" and was it actually a flash foward?
The Funeral Home where Ben's viewing was, is called Hoffs/Drawlar, which is an anagram for "Flash Forward".
In addition, Jack tried to get a prescription filled by his Dad and the pharmacist was going to call his Dad's office to confirm. Also, when Jack was arguing with the chief of surgery, Jack told the guy to go get his "Dad and see who was more drunk". Isn't Jack's dad dead????

T-Mobile Wing - MDA Replacement - Windows Mobile 6
There are reviews and pics all over the web for the T-Mobile Wing, the newer, thinner and sexier MDA.
PC Magazine - Details and a review
Engadget - Details and pics
T-Mobile - Get it here!
Looks sweet, although I've not seen one in person. I like that it is thinner, has Windows Mobile 6, the LED indicators for Caps and Alt, and the 2 megapixel camera. I don't like the same old CPU.

History of the World
HISTORY OF THE WORLD:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals
2. Conservatives
Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girliemen.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.
Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That's why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.

Pandora.com
Pandora is one of the coolest music listening sites I have ever been to. If you've not heard of it, please go and try it here.
The site allows you to create a "radio station". You choose an artist or song that you like and it will randomly play songs or artists that are similar to the one you chose. A radio station with no commercials and music that you will actually like. What more could you ask for?
Here's an article on Techdirt that shows once again how stupid the music industry is: http://techdirt.com/articles/20070502/200120.shtml
Pandora already pays fees to play the music, in addition, the listeners, if they like an artist, have the option to buy the song or album. But the music industry is trying to limit who is allowed to use Pandora, even though Pandora helps them advertise new music and artists. What idiots!!!

DRM and the Movie and Music Industry
The Movie and Music industry feel they are losing sales to illegal copying. They blame that as the major reason for all of their recent declines in sales.
Here's why sales are really declining:
Movies:
The current movie experience suxors and I mean really suxors! I won't go to the movies because of the noisy people talking, the cells phones going off, the lights from cell phones as texting is going on. In addition, my HD TV has a better picture and my sound system sounds nearly as good and NetFlix delivers to my house for a lot less per movie.
Music:
There are very few new bands out there that are any good. I mean how many albums have you bought recently where you only like 1 or 2 songs on the whole thing. It's just better to go to iTunes or any of you other favorite music download sites and just get the song that doesn't suck. I mean that too... not the good song, the song that doesn't suck.
Bottom line is instead of making a good product or experience, i.e. fixing the real problem, they found a scapegoat and blame it on "illegally" copied music or movies.

HD-DVD DRM Crack (and maybe BluRay too)
This article was all over the place in my usual haunts on the web. So I thought I'd chime in and spread the word too.
Over in the Doom9 forums, one of its users discovered the crack for HD-DVD DRM and posted it. This was in the beginning of February. This may also work for BluRay DRM.
You can read the forum post at Doom9 or on this blog's title to get all the juicy info.
Have fun with it!!!
