Microsoft Says Move Over Dr Dre & P Diddy

Canned music is just awful. However, it is much more cheaper and easier to work with than some egotistical musician. Thus, Microsoft introduces Songsmith.  Turn up the happy and the jazzy and write that next top 40 hit, yeah!

Microsoft Research is now working on other easy to use interfaces for the lazy artist.  Coming next year will be Fashonista, Turn up the slutty and the tight to design your next prom dress.

UPDATE: My home slice birch from pmog gave me this fun link, That be a mac laptop in the commercial.

Check this wonderful link out, my media flavored friends.  This MIT research project is trying to learn how youtube spots copyright violations and perhaps, more importantly illustrate the mistakes the system makes.  Parody, criticism and education can be viable fair use and not a violation.  Of course, you can’t watch any of the videos on the site, but it is nice to see someone fighting the man.

In the future, this claim might be easily proved.  Apparently, researchers at Kinki University (I didn’t make that up) have found a way to convert thought into light.  Wow, I might watch The View just to see  the dark bulbs above their pathetic nagging heads proving once and for all how stupid those chicks are.
