Lindsey Lohan - Actress, Addict, Missionary?

Lindsay Lohan has given her first frank in-depth interview from rehab and insists she's planning to turn her troubled life around, give up partying and plan a charity mission to Africa.

That's nice. I know when I went through my third stint of rehab in as many months, the first thing I planned to do when I get out was an involved trip halfway around the world to help those who need help most.

I'm no psychiatrist but maybe Lindsay needs to take some time off and just chill? I'm not sure that a trip to Africa is really the best idea, considering that the taxing and stressful life of a superstarlet lead her to frequently abuse drink and drugs.

Smells like a publicity stunt to me. Like Paris Hilton finding religion in prison, Lindsay found her philanthropic side in rehab.

Touching.

A journey to the heart of Africa might be just what the doctor ordered. After all, it worked for Mr. Kurtz, and if I remember correctly, things turned out real rosy for him and his entourage.

Oh, the horror.

Brain Eating Amoeba Claims Sixth Victim

A 14-year-old boy has become the sixth victim to die this year of a microscopic organism, Naegleria fowleri (pictured at left) that attacks the body through the nasal cavity, quickly eating its way to the brain. Naegleria fowleri is also known as the Zombie Amoeba for it's characteristic dietary habits, slow shuffling gait and lack of a known cure, aside from individually shooting or bludgeoning each Amoeba in it's Nucleus or "brain".


The unidentified boy died Sept. 17, doctors said he probably picked up the bug a week before while swimming in the balmy shallows of Lake Havasu, right next door to the Lake Havasu Center for Biological and Chemical Weapon Experimentation (LHCBC).

According to the Centers For Disease Control, Naegleria infected 23 people from 1995 to 2004. This year health officials said they've noticed a spike in cases, with six Naegleria-related cases so far -- all of them fatal.

A harried looking Lieutenant Masterson, Public Relations Spokesperson for the LHCBC made the following statement - "We are saddened by this loss of life, but cannot stress enough, the need for the public at large to stay calm. We recommend that for the next 24 hours individuals avoid, cemeteries, warm water, snorting things and nose picking. We also really, really want to stress that these so-called Zombie Amoebas were not developed by the military as part of a biological weapons program. Aha, ha, ha... ehhh."

Excel 2007 Bug

Well, well, well... It seems that Microsoft has a serious bug with it's product Excel 2007. A poster on google news noticed that multiplying 850 * 77.1 gives an answer of 100,000 instead of the slightly more correct sum of 65,535. In fact, any formula that should return 65,535 will act wonky. Surely this type of major gaffe will have immediate repercussions, considering the dominance of Excel over other spreadsheet applications, Microsoft will need to scramble quick to fix this.

Does Microsoft even beta test their software anymore? How could such a serious error slip through? Is it a prank or sabotage from a disgruntled employee? I can't believe that such a rudimentary error would slip past a decent QA and/or beta test.

In more Microsoft news this morning, several PC vendors are now offering retail customers an opportunity to "downgrade" from Vista to Windows XP.

"It took took five years and $6 billion to develop, but Microsoft's Vista operating system, which was launched early this year, has been shunned by consumers — with computer manufacturers taking the bizarre step of offering downgrades to the old XP version of Windows."

Well played, Microsoft. Well played.
