| SlideRocket Raises $5 Million For Online Presentation Platform Posted: 20 Jul 2009 08:15 PM PDT
SlideRocket, a startup that helps create online presentations, has raised $5 million in Series B funding led by Azure Capital Partners with Hummer Winblad Venture Partners participating. This new round of funding brings SlideRocket’s total funding to $7 million. The company also announced that Chuck Dietrich, former General Manager and Vice President at Salesforce.com, has joined the company as CEO. SlideRocket is an online presentation application that produces media rich slideshows that rival PowerPoint presentations. SlideRocket says it will use the funding to grow the company by adding more hires and help continue innovation of the product. SlideRocket took the beta label off last fall and added collaboration tools to let users share slides and other assets between presentations and turn on a conference mode similar to WebEx, allowing users on different computers to view the same presentation simultaneously.

 What you are about to read is from an actual court filing. Gregory McKenna has filed suit against Apple, which he alleges is conspiring with the mob in an effort to coerce him to return to a New York-based modeling agency he quit in 2000. As explained in the 124-page complaint, an iPod shuffle he bought on eBay in 2005 and an iPod mini he bought new from an Apple store in 2006 — possibly a nano, as minis were discontinued a year prior — both contain receivers that have allowed the Mafia to send audio death threats that play in tandem with his music. The suit seeks $14.3 million total and lists ten defendants in all, including a local mechanic, a private investigator, the St. Louis Police Department, the FBI, and the US Department of Justice. While our initial reaction is to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, it’s hard not to feel sad for McKenna and his state of mind — of course, if by some stroke of fate he manages to prove it was all one big conspiracy perpetrated by the Mafia, well, guess we’ll be ending up with egg on our faces.

| Look! There’s a Person On The Moon [Apollo 11] Posted: 20 Jul 2009 07:56 PM PDT
Exactly 40 years ago now—at 10:56pm EDT, July 20, 1969—Neil Armstrong began his descent to the Moon’s surface, slowly sliding down the Eagle’s ladder. It was the pinnacle of the greatest human adventure in history. That Sunday, Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins completed President Kennedy’s plan to put a man on the Moon before the decade was over. 400,000 people and 20,000 companies and institutions worked in the project, putting together insanely great talent, knowledge, and ingenuity to achieve what most thought was impossible. Today we celebrate three men’s prodigious, almost miraculous trip across the void of space. We celebrate their courage and prowess, as well as the qualities of every single person who made it possible. It was a small step for a man, but also for mankind. A giant leap, yes, but still a tiny step toward our destiny in the stars… if we could survive ourselves, that is. Here’s hoping that we do. Here’s hoping that we could make it again, and find our place in the Universe. Or in the words of the Onion:

But don’t worry! According to producer Ted Koplar,
Actually, that explains a lot. Apparently, producers think robot lions joining together to destroy robeasts from the planet Doom is the personification of the human spirit. [via MTV Movies Blog] Read the rest here:
