I am personally salivating waiting for the Quad Core with 16G of Ram to be on the market in November and check the site daily to see if shipping yet. Currently, they have upgraded all their IMac line and the 27 incher looks fantastic. Anyone have one yet?

1944: Weapons-grade plutonium, for the very heart of the Fat Man atomic bomb used to obliterate Nagasaki, Japan, is first produced at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in south-central Washington state. Twenty-seven years later, in 1971, the Atomic Energy Commission detonates the largest U.S. hydrogen bomb, during underground testing in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. The development of weapons-grade plutonium was one of the most tightly guarded secrets of the Manhattan Project. Allied planners feared Nazi Germany was on the verge of producing an atomic bomb of its own. That turned out not to be true, but planners had given top priority to the development of an effective nucle…

My favorite destination spot is getting a bit heated up due to the former Prime minister taking a role in a neighboring country. I have spent time in the capital of Cambodia and love it there. I hope this does not flare up more! From Voice of America: Tensions between Southeast Asian neighbors Thailand and Cambodia are high after Cambodia's leader appointed a fugitive former Thai prime minister as an advisor. Both countries have withdrawn their ambassadors and claim interference in their internal affairs. Regional political analysts say relations between Bangkok and Phnom Penh are the worst they have been in several years. On Friday, Cambodia withdrew its ambassado…

Love him or hate him, you have to admit that Apple CEO Steve Jobs has had a helluva decade. Consider that, under his helm, Apple defined the portable music player market with the iPod, has shaken up the mobile industry with the iPhone, rocked the retail music business with iTunes, and re-invented the computing business with OS X in a way that the PC business--with less than 10 percent of market share--is no longer the bread-and-butter of the company. Add to that the brilliant marketing behind Apple and the loyal, almost cult-like following of Apple's fans, and it's no wonder that Fortune Magazine today named him the CEO of the decade. The opening lines of a story writte…

From experience tonight, looks like the time to edit posts is 20 minutes. Then it gets locked. Is this right? And if so, could you think about extending it? At least to 30 minutes, preferably (to me) to an hour? Thx.

Sometimes coming out to the parents just doesn't work out like you imagined. Gotta love her

It looks like a hard-fought battle. Hope rules. In the worst of cases, the pro-gay marriage forces will lose again. They will at least have fought the good fight, and removed all doubt about how stubborn the opposition is that still needs to be overcome. Cold consolation. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/us/28maine.html?hpw

Well,who here goes to saunas? I have always been shy to go to one,looking at some of their websites,there appear to be a entry fee and you strip off with a towel and then make eye contact. Is that about right? dO OLDER guys have any luck in these places? How do you actually find someone in there? I would love to try the Turkish saunas. Wheres the best sauna you have been in around the world?

One of stupidest & funniest things I know:

From the Scott Adler thread upon learning of the drugs he was allegedly caught with... Another thread says GHB is indeed 'Schedule 1' (what isn't?) so while some may be relieved it wasn't coke or the vile meth the courts may not be able to make any distinction. Not to endorse his actions at all, but why the fuck can't we have drug laws approaching sensibility in this country, with Meth, Crack and Heroin at the top of enforcement priorities and penalties? Instead we've currently got the whole of LA County chasing their tales trying to find a way to bust pot dispensaries at the moment. Anybody with a brain would load up all the officers available for that into bus…

I don't understand at this point why he doesn't come out. I mean its hardly a secret anymore that the man is gay. However, is it possible that people like us who read forums and stay in touch with events online are a small minority and that the majority of his audience has no idea? If that is the case maybe he feels why take a chance on offending X amount of people when only Y amount know my preferences. Well the pic below has been on just about every gay blog. Its of AC and his friend in India in front of the most expensive hotel in the world where they are sharing a suite. btw His friend owns the gay bar Eastern Bloc located in NYC.

'Nine letter word' What if this was the only question on the exam to pass High School English and earn your diploma. Would you graduate? Okay you brainiacs, here is a brain teaser for you. What nine letter word in the English language is still a word when each of the nine letters is removed one by one? Take a few minutes to try and come up with a nine letter word that fits the bill.

I wonder how many of you prefer to bareback? I remember talking about thi to a man in Pattaya a few months ago that i met in a bar. He was a retired judge/magistrate from the UK. He told me he preferred to receive it without a condom.He was a bottom. I have tried it both ways many years ago and obviously the "feeling/intensity" are far different than if the giver is wearing a condom. As we talked ,he told me that 9 times out of 10 the giver pulled out before cumming. As he was a retired magistrate,he went on probality regarding HIV transmission. Apparently he would mee taxi drivers in Bangkok,etc ,meeting guys away from the bar scence lowering the "pro…

A bunch of friends of mine and I drove 70 miles up to MJs bar in Silverlake (Los Angeles) last night for the premiere night of "EXXXCESS" which is the new name for "Industry" night of 10 nearly naked porn stars performing at the bar. This event used to be at Numbers and then moved to ELEVEN in Weho and they were trying out MJs Bar last night. Here is the advert for it: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_4ckx_a4DYBI/St-HEYxglOI/AAAAAAAAdYo/V4gOI4HvKew/s1600/untitled.jpg However, when we arrived, there was the "usual" line dancing going on early which we thought would not be happening this week. One dancer was up dancing who happened to be a porn star, but a staple of the go-…

I was in a adult bookshop the other day,a sex shop, and i noticed a cute looking young guy,blondish hair ,probaly about 19yo,looking at magazines with the front cover of hairy old guys wearing leather type hats.The mags were called HAIRY DADDIES. i glanced at him and it appears he liked either hairy guys or big guys wearing chains. My low confidence got the better of me and i left befor he could see i was staring at him. I often wonder if younger guys truly like older guys. I wonder if there is such a FETISH? We all know in Asia most of its only meal tickets and all money orientated. I dont know about the rest of the World. Has anyone here who is hairy and ha…

What exactly is GHB and what does it do to the body? What are the side effects? Is this a party drug?

This sounds hilarious. http://www.dianagrove.org

(CNN) -- Andrew Lloyd Webber, the award-winning composer and producer of more than a dozen musicals including "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats," has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a spokeswoman said Sunday. "The condition is in its very early stages. Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year," the spokeswoman said in a written statement from the London-based public relations firm Brown Lloyd James. They released no further details. In April, the Sunday Times of London included Lloyd Webber, 61, on its annual Rich list, which ranks the wealthiest people in Britain. Lloyd Webber, who lives in Kensington, …

Sounds to me like one more instance of snake oil for the compulsive dieter. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22Skin.html?_r=1

I listen to this show compulsively, driven by admiration and envy of the quick wit that's always on display. I'm also into it for the belly laughs. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/24/arts/television/24wait.html?_r=1&ref=arts

We are thinking of doing another contest in celebration of our new relaunch that relates to reviews. Possibly for each review submitted both the reviewer and the escort reviewed gets their name in a hat for a special prize. Any suggestions? What do you think?
