YouTube has restored "The Obama Deception" which was deleted last week after the account hosting the movie was allegedly hacked into. ""Police State 4 - The Rise of FEMA"" was also deleted and has also been restored.
This is huge news as there was quite a bit of noise calling out YouTube for censorship.
I just checked Google Trends, and "The Obama Deception", "Fall of the Republic", "Obama Deception Censored", and "infowars" are still being censored in the Trends report, however "Alex Jones" has moved from the 7th to the 4th searched term in Google Trends.

Censorship on Youtube
Last week on the Alex Jones syndicated radio talk show, Alex called for patriots to search the term "The Obama Deception" to move one of his Documentaries to the #1 Search Trend on google. The Documentary exposes the lie that is the presidency of Barack Soetoro (Obama), for the puppet that he is. The question is who is the puppet master?
The call worked, "The Obama Deception" quickly moved to the #1 search term on google. Following this trend, the movie was getting about 100k views per hour on YouTube.
The Youtube channel that hosted the movie was then allegedly hacked into, and the movie was deleted, in addition to another of Alex's movies, "Police State 4 - The Rise of FEMA". This censorship is damaging because it included the deletion of the statistics, rating, and comments that came along with the video. At the time the movie was deleted it had been viewed over 6.5 million times.
On the Alex Jones show Sunday, Alex called for patriots to continue this info war on this censorship by the corrupt establishment, buy continuing to keep hit the search engines with the term "Obama Deception Censored". This again shot up to the #1 google search term in a matter of minutes.
As of the morning of July 19, 2010 Google has flushed the search trends "Obama Deception Censored" and "Fall of the Republic", down the memory hole. Interestingly, "Alex Jones" is still trending on google trends as the #7th most popular search.
This is proof that the establishment in America is corrupt, unconstitutional, tyrannical, but most of all, they are afraid. Afraid of the patriot uprising. Keep it up!

Noise or How I learned to love the state of the Gnome audio software
This was originally posted to a bug report (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327254) but it seams that either this is not worthy of noise, or the Rhythmbox developers would rather argue and not fix something, then accept real critiquing of the software they develop. I realize this was outside of the scope of this particular bug, but this text in and of itself is not exactlly a bug either. I wanted to post this directly where the developers were sure to look, instead of on my blog that is completely unknown to the world. Sure I could have done something such as go to IRC, or a mailing list, but users who are not developers, who do not know the ropes, let alone know what an IRC or a mailing list is, should be helped when they step outside of the proper channels instead of what they have to say just being disregarded in the name of being noise.
I find myself deeply disappointed with the audio player scene under Gnome. The above is an additional reason why, and not a step in solving the issue.
This is not the first time this has happened to me. I don't regard myself as a user who doesn't know the ropes. And I am certainly not new to the Linux or Gnome scene. I am also not saying that what I have has any merit, but I have been around the scene for a decade now. What I am saying is that times like these the barrier to entry should be easier, not harder.
Now to the meat and gravy.
I have a very large music library, I have spent years looking for the perfect audio manager for my library, and though there has been great progress, I still don't feel like we are there yet. I very much dislike having to micromanage what is playing, I have spent enough time hand picking what goes into my music collection, that I care less about which album or song is playing, and more about the music just never stopping. Sort of a perfect radio station, if you will.
As of late, what I have the most desire for is along the lines of what Charbucks has been working on over at http://undamped.blogspot.com called "In The Mood". I have not been able to test this out, but I understand it to be along the lines of the music genome project
used by Pandora.
I have used last.fm suggestions supported by various players, but this dynamic playlist support leaves something to be desired. What I have found is that all suggestions lead to mainstream artists/songs and at some point stops offering suggestions of my obscure music.
Example:
Place in queue The Moving sidewalks
Last.fm suggests ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, 13th Floor Elevators
ZZ Top Plays, Last.fm Suggests Led Zeppelin
Jimi Hendrix plays, Last.fm suggests The Rolling Stones
13th Floor Elevators plays, Last.fm suggests Pink Floyd
Now there are no more obscure artists left in my queue, so none get suggested
In the same regard, I also feel that Smart Playlists leave something to be desired. If I want to play Slow Blues for example, I would have to tag which songs are not just blues, but slow blues in the genere tag. This is major micromanaging.
The example for In the Mood, I understand that it takes a fingerprint of the audio and it attempts to figure out which songs are similar by tempo, volume, key, etc. and should provide a more accurate selection of songs. Where in my example above with playing a Moving Sidewalks song, It will pull music from any and all genre, but which has a similar finger print.
Here I am providing a critique of audio players and I hope this provides a "State of audio players on Gnome" and not, "This sucks, you suck, everything sucks"
Quod Libet, very nice audio player, major slowdown of development once it hit 1.0. I feel that it is missing podcasts and dynamic playlist support. Has the best tagging support IMO for an audio player. Does not support "party mode" (full screen). Has an extensive plugin selection, but most of the functionality is for tagging, This is one reason I say it has the best tagging support. I very much like the "Album List" view in Quod Libet.
Exaile, more of a cosmetic problem for me, I dislike the vertical tabs along the left edge, I dislike the use of the "gaim" looking icons, has poor tagging support even though it borrows mutagen library from quod libet. Does not support "party mode" (full screen).
Rhythmbox, very basic though it has lots of functionality that other audio players do not. Lacks some very major features that I have come to expect, including, dynamic playlist generation (I am not talking about smart playlists), has poor tagging support, Play Queue doesn't function as expected (as described in the above mentioned bug report).
Listen, has many of the features that I enjoy, including it was the first player under gnome that I found which offered suggestions from last.fm so your play queue never runs out of music. The interface needs some major love, and it is simply not usable with the size of my music library.
Banshee, I am a little envious with the progress that has been made here. But I feel it is not an option due to the use of mono. I realize that parts of C# are standardized, but many parts of the .net universe are not and are heavily patented.
Muine, not an option due to the use of mono. I realize that parts of C# are standardized, but many parts of the .net universe are not and are heavily patented.
BMP (Formerly Beep), sorry but winamp clones just don't do it for me or have the features I am
after.
MPD + Sonata & Ario , This is a nice setup, but again, does not support many of the features I describe above.
I might have left out some audio players, but I feel like all of the major audio players supported under Gnome & GTK+ have been listed above.
Lastly, Jonathan Matthew pointed out that the bug report is not my blog, and I agree. I don't consider myself to be a blogger, and I feel the level of quality to make a factual blog entry is quite a lot of work. I am now talking to the world who might not understand half of what is being said here so I feel I have to provide links to facts and the software mentioned to make my point, where when I comment in bugzilla I am talking directly to the developers.
In either case, he is right and I was wrong. This doesn't change the fact that we have a long way to go to make the Gnome desktop kick all other desktop ass. I felt I was providing a very deep idea, I felt that all I got was a very shallow response.

Could Ron Paul be our next president?
Interesting read over at Nicene Truth discussing why they think Ron Paul will be our next president.

You can certainly believe what you like, but Ron Paul is going to surprise a lot of people when the primary votes are counted. As I said before, he's the perfect storm of "dark horse" candidates, and it looks like a national upset is virtually inevitable.

Chess Master Garry Kasparov Explains Political Nature Of Oil
Why don't American politicians sound as intelligent as Kasparov? The only person running in the 2008 presidential race who is sound is Ron Paul, everyone else is a corporate shill.

Done with Myspace
Well I am done with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp website called Myspace.com It has been a thorn in my side for several years now. I just don't understand why it is still so popular after all these years. The website hardly works for shit, I mean get real, they plug it up with so much fucking advertisements, but they don't fix the shit that is broken. How many times have you seen, "We're sorry this error has been forwarded to the development team" yeah that is bullshit. Rupert knows better then anyone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well people are not leaving and moving on to one of the better programmed websites, so he sees no reason to spend money to fix the fuckin' thing.
So Long, I doubt I will miss you...
