Should Celebrities Be Given Seniority to Online Usernames?
One word of advice, don't register any Jennifer Lopez URLs in the near future. The entertainer and mother of two just won her cybersquatting (must add this one to the geek dictionary) case against a man who registered jenniferlopez.net and jenniferlopez.org to send users to a pay-per-click ad site.
And speaking of celebrities and names, Twitter is now taking celebrity usernames and giving them back to the real celebrity.
Geeking Out with Samantha Ronson at TechCrunch50/ MySpace Party
The big TechCrunch50 Conference kicked off yesterday at the San Francisco Design Center Concourse, with the best new tech startups launching their companies in front of the public — yes Ashton and Demi were there! And to celebrate the day one festivities was the big MySpace party last night at Mezzanine. I not only got to chat with Sean Parker, the cofounder of Napster, and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington — who said this year's turnout was much better than last year's — but I was able to catch up with the famous Samantha Ronson, who was DJing at the event, and ask her some geeky questions!

Overheard at the TechCrunch50 Party: Geekiest Pickup Lines
After I chatted up Samantha Ronson about what software she runs on her MacBook Pro at the TechCrunch50/MySpace party, I made my way around the Mezzanine — okay, I'll admit it. I was looking to see if LL was hiding somewhere in the crowd – and overheard some pretty interesting (and totally geeky) pickup lines.
The party was certainly a single girl's dream - with about 95 percent of the attendees being of the male persuasion - so although I'm not surprised that there was lots of flirting going on, I was totally amused by what I heard.
UO Portable MP3 Player Mixer Lets You Scratch at Home
I know there is an "art" to being a DJ and all, but how many times have you walked into a club and watched the DJ actually scratch on some vinyl? Most of the time, they pick and choose songs from their MacBook playlists, hit a few buttons, and move the cross-faders from side to side. Am I right?
geeksugar Chats With MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe
Just two months shy of geeking out with Samantha Ronson at the TechCrunch50/MySpace Party, I found myself at another fabulous MySpace party last night at the beautiful Old Mint building in San Francisco — hello?! Lionel Richie performed! This time, it was a MySpace 2.0 party celebrating MySpace Music and the latest partnership between Ashton Kutcher's production company, Katalyst Media, and MySpace.
Apple's TV Ad For the New and Improved Nano
What's a new Apple product without a catchy new commercial right? Thankfully, I had a decent seat at the Let's Rock Apple event this morn so I was able to catch the colorful iPod Nano ad in its entirety. Love the splattered Apple at the end and the background tunes, but I'd have to say the showstopper had to be Jack Johnson performing three songs after all the big announcements.
