Following the heavy circulation of Obie Trice’s new single “The Giant” signaling the Detroit rapper’s departure from his situation with Shady Records and it’s parent company, Interscope, the brass at Shady issued a statement Monday (Jun 30) reaffirming its support of Trice’s decision. “Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different forum free from the constraints of the current major label model,” Eminem’s long time partner and manager Paul Rosenberg told AllHipHop.com. Sources on the web have erroneously reported that the new explanatory track released to the web on Sunday (Jun 29) included lyrics meant as a diss to his former label and Eminem, who added Trice to the label’s roster in 2000. “Eminem will continue to support and work with Obie on many levels of his career,” Rosenberg stated frankly. “He remains a close friend and member of the Shady family.”

Google has launched the Google Media Server gadget to bridge the gap between the PC and the TV. It is a Windows-only gadget that runs on a PC with Google Desktop version 5 or later installed. It offers sharing and streaming of multimedia files across devices, and is based on universal plug-n-play technology.

You can send videos, photos, and music to Digital Living Network Alliance-certified UPnP hardware such as gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and digital photo frames, either from a computer or data stored online. The devices need authorization from Google’s app to access files located on the computer or online. Google uses IP/Mac-based lock specifications to avoid any UPnP-based attacks on the devices. There’s also the option to allow access to any device.

Google also provides access support to its online media services: Picasa Web Albums and YouTube videos (using H.264 instead of Flash video). Thus, photos and videos located online can be streamed as well.

Google Media Server is Google’s latest attempt to conquer people’s living rooms by roping together disparate consumer electronics devices.

Detroit’s Obie Trice has left Shady Records after eight years and two albums, AllHipHop.com has confirmed today (Jun 30). He is currently working on his third album, while solidifying a new situation for his own imprint. “Obie and Shady were moving in different directions,” the 30-year-old rapper’s manager Terry Wilson told AllHipHop.com. “But he still has a great relationship with Shady Records. He has some big plans for his World Wide Hustle label.” Currently recording his third album while solidifying his label situation, Trice has released a track explaining his decision to leave the label with which he attained a considerable amount of respect and success.

While a source at Shady confirms the split is amicable, the new song, “The Giant,” indicates that Obie’s complaints may have been with parent company Interscope. “O is a mogul/Low on the totem pole ‘cause Interscope’s loco/Now I’m gettin’ mo’ dough,” Obie Trice raps on the song.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (UPI) – Three Florida siblings all share a June 13 birthday despite being born years apart, one of their parents notes.

Billy Etkin of Hollywood said all three of his children were born June 13 — including his new daughter Ana who was born this year — the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

The 36-year-old, whose wife is still recovering from the recent birth, said the June 13 births of his 5-year-old son Foster and his 2-year-old daughter Sarah have made the date lucky.

Etkin said his children’s birth dates were not planned and expects it’ll be crazy when all three birthdays are celebrated on the same day.

“I’m looking forward to them getting older and really appreciating it,” Etkin told the Sun-Sentinel.

PARIS (UPI) – The International Astronomical Union said it has selected the term plutoid as a name for dwarf planets such as Pluto.

The action came nearly two years after the IAU introduced the category of dwarf planets, demoting Pluto from being categorized as a planet.

The IAU, with headquarters in Paris, defines plutoids as being celestial bodies in orbit around the sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune that have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that they assume a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly-spherical) shape, and that have not cleared the neighborhood around their orbit.

The two known and named plutoids are Pluto and Eris. It is expected that more plutoids will be named as new discoveries are made.

The IAU has been responsible for naming planetary bodies and their satellites since the early 1900s.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (UPI) – A U.S. aerospace engineer has designed a plasma-propelled flying machine that looks much like the “flying saucers” depicted in numerous movies.

University of Florida mechanical and aerospace engineering Associate Professor Subrata Roy has submitted a patent application for his circular, spinning aircraft he calls a “wingless electromagnetic air vehicle,” or WEAV. The prototype measures less than 6 inches in diameter and will be powered by on-board batteries but Roy said the design theoretically should work in a much larger form.

“This is a very novel concept and, if it’s successful, it will be revolutionary,” Roy said.

The vehicle will be powered by magnetohydrodynamics, or the force created when a current or a magnetic field is passed through a conducting fluid. In the case of Roy’s aircraft, the conducting fluid will be created by electrodes covering the vehicle’s surfaces that will ionize the surrounding air into plasma that, in turn, creates lift and momentum.

The U.S. Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration have expressed interest in the aircraft and the university is seeking to license the design, he said.

Taking his seat in his chambers, the judge faced the opposing lawyers. “So,” he said, “I have been presented, by both of you, with a bribe.” Both lawyers squirmed uncomfortably. “You, attorney Leon, gave me $15,000. And you, attorney Campos, gave me $10,000.”

The judge reached into his pocket and pulled out a check. He handed it to Leon … “Now then, I’m returning $5,000, and we’re going to decide this case solely on its merits.”

A guy walks into a bank and says to the teller at the window, “I want to open a fuckin’ checking account”

To which the lady replied, “I beg your pardon, what did you say?”

“Listen up damn it, I said I want to open a fuckin’ checking account right now.”

“Sir, I’m sorry but we do not tolerate that kind of language in this bank!”

The teller left the window and went over to the bank manager and told him about her situation. They both returned and the manager asked, “What seems to be the problem here?”

“There’s no damn problem,” the man said, “I just won 50 million in the lottery and I want to open a fuckin’ checking account in this damn bank!”

“I see sir,” the manager said, “and this bitch is giving you a hard time?”

PROVO, Utah (UPI) – A Provo, Utah, woman said she has recovered nearly $200,000 in checks that she threw out with the trash.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous, said she flagged down the driver of the garbage truck as soon as she noticed the checks, which were from the company she works for, had gone missing, KTVX-TV, Salt Lake City, reported.

Brad Rollins, waste management supervisor for Provo, said a bay was cleared at the county garbage transfer station to allow the woman and a friend to sift through the load of trash to find the specific white kitchen bag they were looking for.

Rollins said the two women said a prayer and one of the women almost immediately picked up a bag that turned out to contain the missing documents.

“The checks were in great shape. They weren’t wrinkled, they were still flat, the deposit slip was still in there. She could’ve taken it right to the bank and they wouldn’t even have known where it had been, and it had been on a trip,” Rollins said.
