Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot
I MIGHT NEED TO TRY THIS AT MY HOUSE the Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot ($100) will replace nearly any Internet connection you’ve got. Serving as a 4G modem, switching back to 3G when the faster network isn’t available, the Overdrive shares its connection with up to five devices via Wi-Fi, and also sports a built-in battery that lets you use it on the road to keep your laptop, handheld, and other devices online.

MINI Countryman
ON SOME EVERYDAY SHIT I MIGHT GET ONE OF THESE LOL As the company’s first vehicle with four doors, you’d expect the MINI Countryman ($TBA) to be a little different from its stablemates, and indeed it is. The Countryman is more crossover than go-kart, with an optional ALL4 all-wheel drive system, an elevated seating position, more ground clearance, and an innovative customizable Center Rail that lets you use the space in between the seats however you see fit, but still retains the classic MINI exterior styling, rounded gauges, and, perhaps most importantly, performance.

Morehouse Whiz Kid is Causing a Stir: 13-Year-Old Dominates College
MY INSPIRATION FOR THE DAY, THIS REALLY HITS HOME WITH ME BECAUSE I STARTED MY JOURNEY AT 12. I LOVE TO SEE KIDS TAKING CONTROL OF THEIR LIVES BECAUSE IT’S NOT WRITTEN IN A BOOK THAT LIFE STARTS AT THE AGE OF 20 OR 21. THE FUCKED UP PART ABOUT THIS STORY IS I BELIEVE WE WON’T HEAR MUCH ABOUT IT. HE SHOULD BE ON 106 AND PARK AS A GUEST THE SAME WAY THEY BRING ON BROTHER JEFF, OPRAH SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE HIM, THE VIEW, EVERY WHERE. THIS IS PROOF THAT WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT DOESN’T REALLY CARE ABOUT POSITIVITY. THIS IS TRUELY AMAZING AND I APPLAUD HIM. At thirteen years of age, Stephen Stafford is causing quite a stir at Morehouse College. Stafford has a triple major in pre-med, math and computer science. Though he loves playing video games and playing his drum set, he is no typical teenager. “I’ve never taught a student as young as Stephen, and it’s been amazing,” said computer science professor Sonya Dennis. “He’s motivating other students to do better and makes them want to step up their game.” Stafford began his college career at the age of 11, after being home-schooled by his mother. Stafford’s mother said that when Stafford began to teach her instead of being taught by her, she knew he needed to be in a college environment. The recipe for our kids is simple: 1) Spend as much time studying as you spend playing sports or working at fast food restaurant jobs. If a kid can work 8 hours for McDonalds, then he can study 4 hours a day in the library. 2) Don’t let anyone convince you that you can’t achieve whatever you put your mind to. No one has the right to define you or your child. Because my grades were horrible in high school, I was told that I wasn’t smart enough to go to college and (like millions of black boys across America) recommended for special education. Later on, I became the only African American in the world to earn a PhD in Finance during the year 2002. I didn’t earn the degree because I was brilliant. I actually earned it because I finally realized that I had the ability and determination to make my dream into a reality. Just by studying 4 to 5 hours per day (less than the number of hours they would put in to working a minimum wage job), almost any child in America can get a college degree and become a doctor, lawyer or whatever they want. If George Bush can go to Harvard, then every kid in America can graduate from college if they choose to do so. I’ve taught college for 16 years, and I can tell you that the term “college material” needs to be abolished. Every child is college material if they want to be. That’s the truth.
Simon Cowell, Sony Music Sign Global Deal
MY INSPIRATION FOR THE DAY SIMON IS GETTIN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simon Cowell and Sony Music Entertainment have renewed their partnership, confirming details of a new long-term global venture to focus on the production and exploitation of music, television, film and digital content. The new venture will own all of the existing Syco – Cowell’s music company in partnership with Sony – television and music assets, including the global TV format “The X Factor” and “Got Talent”, as well as acts including Leona Lewis, Susan Boyle and Il Divo. Fox’s U.S. version of “The X Factor,” to air in the fall of 2011 with Cowell as executive producer and judge, is included in the deal. The global show airs in 17 countries. Syco Television is also the owner of the “Got Talent” television format which airs in 27 countries worldwide. Syco will be co-owned by Sony Music and a Simon Cowell-owned company; it will be based in London and will also have offices in L.A. Syco was previously the name for Cowell’s music and television activities as a division of Sony Music Entertainment U.K. and it has a staff of 28. “I have had a fantastic relationship with Sony for many years and I’m delighted we are launching this venture together,” Cowell said in a statement. “Over the past 20 years, Simon Cowell has been a great partner and is an integral part of the Sony Music global family. We are extremely excited to be able to continue and further develop our relationship with Simon, and significantly grow the Syco venture,” added Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, CEO, Sony Music Entertainment. Sony Music says Cowell has worked with artists selling more than 180 million albums and delivered more than 150 No.1 records during his career. In 2009, Cowell was named No. 1 in Hollywood Reporter’s Top 50 Most Powerful in Reality TV. “Simon Cowell is one of the most prominent and successful creative music and television executives in the entertainment business today. This new venture will allow Sony Music and all Sony divisions to develop and pursue a host of new opportunities with this supremely talented individual,” said Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman, CEO and president, Sony Corporation in a statement. Ged Doherty, chairman and CEO, Sony Music Entertainment U.K., added: “I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to extend our long and mutually beneficial partnership with Simon. He is an inspiring and stimulating business partner and working with him closely over the last 10 years has been an absolute pleasure. With the launch of “The X Factor” in the U.S., we look forward to replicating the unprecedented success the show has had in the U.K. globally.” U.K. retail magnate Sir Philip Green will be an advisor to Simon Cowell and a shareholder in the company, majority owned and controlled by Cowell, which will serve as the partner with Sony Music in the new Syco.
Ferrari 458 Italia priced at £169,545
I POSTED THIS CAR BEFORE AS ONE OF THE ONES I HAD TO HAVE BUT TODAY THE PRICE CAME OUT AND I SEE I GOTTA WORK ALOTTA HARDER LOL BUT DAMN !!!!!!!LOOK AT THAT BITCH The list price, including all taxes, for the 458 in the UK comes out to £169,545. That’s a significant £40k increase over the F430 it replaces, but a few grand less than the top-of-the-line 430 Scuderia whose performance it more closely resembles. (The pricing also puts the 458 into perspective vis-a-vis its kid brother, the California convertible, which comes out to £143,325 on the 2010 price sheet.) Of course these are just starting points for eager buyers, with options like LED indicator lights on the steering wheel, Alcantara microsuede trim for the trunk, electric seats and a spare wheel all delving well into four figures. Nobody ever said buying a new Ferrari would be cheap.
