Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne Beef is Alive
So as many all the dopeboyz/girlz know, Tha Carter IV sprung an inevitable leak and it didn’t take long for the Twitterverse to go wild with rants/comments surrounding a few of Wayne’s lines off It’s Good w/ Jadakiss and Drake. Which is obviously in response to Jay’s lines on H.A.M. (I’m like really half a billi n*gga, really you got baby money, keep it real with n*ggas, n*ggas aint got my lady money).Read more!
Talkin’ bout baby money, I got ya baby money/
Kidnap yo bitch, get that ‘how much you love yo lady’ money/
I know you fake nigga, press yo breaks nigga/
Given how quick folks are to speculate, Kiss wasted no time hitting Twitter and denouncing any rumors that he’s involved in whatever “beef” this is (or turns out to be) and if he were talking slick, y’all would know exactly who it was about. So with all that, do you think Hov will even respond? Or should he?

Steve Jobs Steps Down at Apple
Wow, a true visionary and inspiration to me. Wish him the best. Here is his letter he wrote regarding the decision.
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.Read more!
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Shadow Illusion
I don't get it, but it's cool. Here's the description on YouTube:
For me, this is still one of the most amazing illusions. The design is just so simple and yet the illusion is so amazing.Read more!
This illusion has been around for a long time but always in the form of an image. It was created by MIT professor Edward H. Adelson. I wanted to take it from a flat piece of paper and turn it into a real, life sized illusion that I could interact with to demonstrate the effect.
The illusion works because of the "shadow" that falls on the checkerboard. Lets think of the square that the shadow falls on. Now picture that the shadow doesnt exist, you would see a light colored square surrounded by the dark colored squares. But when the shadow falls on top of that light colored square, the shadow causes the shade to become darker but it also causes the surrounding darker squares to become darker. So within the shadow region the brightness and darkness of the squares are still relative to one another. But they are no longer relative to the squares that lie outside of the shadow.
So if you were able to pick up the middle square and move it to one of the outside dark squares, they would be 2 different shades, But the trick is ..that when you move the square you are moving it WITH the shadow still printed on the square. So now you've moved it out of its relative area, outside of the shadow region (but with the shadow still printed on the square) ..to the area where it's the same shade as the "dark" square.

For those still wanting to look for yourself, head to 201 Mulberry Street before 6pm tomorrow, when they shut it all down.

Stalk Kanye West for $5 a Month
Sure, Kanye West fans will pay $15 for a iTunes download or hundreds of dollars for a concert ticket. But will they pay $5 a month to get a steady stream of behind-the-scenes Yeezy-oriented minutia, including his daily schedule, workout regimen and diet?
The multicultural ad agency GlobalHue is betting they will.
Voyr, the latest concept from the agency's incubator, GHV, is set to launch Sept. 15 on the back of a forthcoming 35-city tour supporting the new album from Mr. West and Jay-Z, "Watch the Throne." Viewers will be able to follow the tour live via webcasts for $3.99, but the normal subscription rate will be $4.99 per month for each star that appears on the online platform.
Stuff that will be available on his channel: his exercise routine; what he eats on tour and instructional videos about how to prepare those items by his personal chef; a "720-degree" concert experience; rehearsals for the show; a documentary about Kanye called -- appropriately -- "Me"; and his animated series called "Runaway."
