 Football talk, rust?Eastern hasn't played football since Nov. 1. That's 21 days, but who's counting? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a football team with such a big layoff. The Eagles will play at Temple on Saturday, and coach Jeff Genyk is a bit worried about being "rusty." "That’s certainly our concern," Genyk said. "We’ve really tried to continue to keep the intensity by practicing the first-string offense versus the first-string defense, but it’s really hard to replicate game speed – especially on special teams. »

Microsoft hires Seinfeld for new ads
Microsoft has signed Jerry Seinfeld for its upcoming ad campaign to counter Apple’s “Get a Mac” ads.
The ads feature John Hodgman as a PC and Justin Long as a Mac. The campaign has been successful in promoting Apple’s Mac OS X operating system over Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Seinfeld will be paid $10 million to be in ads alongside Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. Seinfeld is currently a comedian and was the star of the hit TV show “Seinfeld” for nine seasons.
Wonder what Bill Gates will bring to the new ads that he’s doing with Seinfeld :-T

FEMA used as phone booth
Recently, a hacker made more than 400 calls on a Federal Emergency Management Agency voicemail system in Emmitsburg, MD, spending over $12,000 in overseas calls to the Middle East and Asia.
FEMA is a part of the Department of Homeland Security, which issued a warning in 2003 about the type of vulnerability that was exploited in the recent attack.
According to FEMA spokesman Tom Olshanski, it appears that a security hole was left by a contractor when the voicemail system was being upgraded.
Looks like the US needs reconsider its current network policies -_-
