Here's an interview of Conan O'Brien back in 2006. On part three, Charlie Rose asked Conan whether The Tonight Show was the dream. The last video talks about career and some good advice for young people. This is one of the reasons I like Conan, he's very smart and humble, kind of like your wacky older brother who you can talk to and give you great advice on life. It's the same thing he did on his last show on the Tonight Show where you told his audience not to be cynical.

Poor mouse.

Jay Leno was interviewed on Oprah and he gave his side of the story about the debacle with NBC and Conan. He was trying to come out the better man but in the interview, I think he just made himself look more like a cry baby. He said that he didn't push Conan O'Brien out of the Tonight Show but that it was Conan who pushed him out first from when NBC made a deal with Conan O'Brien to keep him from jumping to another network. Here's the interview and video . Jay Leno also talked about his interview with Jimmy Kimmel on 10@10 and that Jimmy Kimmel "suckered-punched" him and he decided to take the high road. Here's the video of Jimmy Kimmel's response to that. It looks like my initial thoughts that Conan O'Brien being the better man is dead on.

I've been reading a lot of comments about the Apple iPad and I would say 90% of the comments are negative. Here's the most common complaints. 1. No Flash. 2. No multi-tasking 3. No camera 4. Tied to AT&T 5. Oversized iPhone 6. iPhone OS? It's funny how the Internet dismisses a product that hasn't even come out yet. And they they are already predicting it to fail. Sound like when the iPhone first came out. Sure, there is no guarantee the iPad will sell. Yes, a netbook may be better since it is a full computer. But have you actually used a netbook? It's small, but the performance is horrible for a full computer. If you are using a netbook for its intended purpose of e-mail, web browsing, chat, photo and video. Then yes, the netbook is more capable than the iPad since it can do Flash, video chat, etc. But the netbook is a horrible e-book reader. Who wants to read the New York Times on a netbook? I can barely read the article. Not to mention you can...

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer . =================== MANILA, Philippines – Gilbert Teodoro found himself in the hot seat at a youth forum Friday when he and other presidential candidates were asked whether they would make President Macapagal-Arroyo accountable for anything anomalous that happened in her administration. At the forum at the De La Salle University (DLSU)-Manila campus, moderator Ted Failon asked the presidential hopefuls: “Is there something for which President Arroyo should be held accountable? How should she be made accountable?” At first, Teodoro, the administration presidential candidate, hesitated to give an answer, saying his previous working relationship with the President bars him from doing so. “Just think about it, if I participate (in efforts to prosecute her), people would say ‘lulutuin mo lang’ (you’ll just fix it.) If I don’t participate, people would say I did not work for justice,” said Teodoro, who resigned as defense secretary to run in the ...
