There’s a growing amount of buzz over a possible acquisition of HULU by Apple.
If true it would mean that Apple just made a huge play into the content and syndication of content space.
Including some great streaming technologies not to mention an established user base which could translate into a good add-on to the existing itunes/App Store.

Disgusting Behavior – Park and Dump Your Ashtray and Trash on the Street
I just witnessed a car park and dump several cans and their ashtray. By the time I got out to take a picture they had disappeared.
This type of behavior is commonplace, some people think the world is their trash can.

Batman, our super hero has again emerged with a bang, as it is ready for his close up again. Making of the Legend- the final chapter of “The Dark Knight Rises” is underway with the epic trilogy on the Caped Crusader. Christian Bale will once again play the role of Brice Wane and gruff voiced alterego. To join him is an all star crew including Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle as a new comer.
Just before the trailer of the movie, a teaser poster created by Warren Bros revealed we are on a way on some unpleasant journey. The poster shows rubble deeply crumbling down from the roof from the series of imprecise skyscrapers. The upper portion of the skyscrapers is formed in a way that it reflects Batman’s bat symbol. The new poster reflects the next film is again falling into the humdrums of catastrophes. It buzzes with the deep serious reflection of the way it makes use of the black and white color scheme, as a symbol of destruction and reflection of the city but without a single man in it. The whole movie is the sequence of sad events as one or the other catastrophes fall on the humans. The movie comes to its end with the Batman on the run from the police, as he takes the blame of the two murders so as people would never make out that a district attorney Harvey Dent considered to be the most moral person has turned to evil ways.
“The Dark Knight Rises” is considered as the eight most scathing film with Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros so confident that people are eagerly waiting for it to get released. Yet again they are dependent only on this bat symbol for promoting their film. Now we can only wait and watch!

Starting tonight, the Skirball Cultural Center kicks off its fifteenth annual Sunset Concerts series. It takes place over six consecutive Thursday evenings from July 21 through August 25, at 8:00 p.m., free of charge, in the Skirball’s festive outdoor courtyard.
The 2011 Sunset Concerts season features an eclectic line-up of artists representing music from around the globe: Maria de Barros (July 21), the West Coast premiere of Red Baraat (July 28), Yemen Blues (August 4), Nuriya (August 11), Thomas Mapfumo and The Blacks Unlimited (August 18), and Mr. Vallenato (August 25).
The spirit of welcome that brings world music fans from all over Southern California to the Skirball each summer spills over into the concert experience itself: friends and families share picnics, fans bring their own instruments and join in, and jubilation and dancing fill the courtyard through the night.
Tonight I will be there when Maria de Barros performs, and look forward to experiencing the joyful musical traditions of her native Cape Verde. Through her work, de Barros expresses the important influence that French culture and music have had on her life growing up in West Africa. In addition to the African- and Latin-inflected coladeiras and bluesy mornas common to Cape Verdean music, de Barros also takes inspiration from the music of Spain, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
On Thursday, July 28, Sunset Concerts continue with the West Coast premiere of Red Baraat. MC and Master dhol (North Indian drum) player Sunny Jain founded Red Baraat in celebration of sounds he remembers from childhood trips to his parents’ native India, along with the rock and ska he grew up loving. Melding the infectious Punjabi rhythm known as Bhangra with a funk reminiscent of New Orleans brass, the critically hailed New York–based ensemble mesmerizes audiences with its powerful and joyous live show.
Founded by rising star and charismatic Yemenite Israeli vocalist Ravid Kahalani and arranger/bassist Omer Avital, the nine-member Yemen Blues plays an ebullient mix of traditional Yemenite Jewish melodies, American blues, jazz, funk, and West and North African grooves on Thursday, August 4.
On Thursday, August 11, Nuriya combines sizzling Spanish vocals with rumba flamenco, Afro-Cuban drumming, Arabic melodies, Gypsy brass, and rhythms from the Middle East and the Caribbean. Born in Mexico City into a Jewish Middle Eastern and Latin family, the lively young singer studied Afro-Cuban music in Cuba and Hebrew and Arabic melodies in Israel. At the Skirball, Nuriya takes the stage backed by a stellar multinational ten-piece ensemble.
Widely revered in his homeland as the “Lion of Zimbabwe,” Thomas Mapfumo brings the protest music he invented known as Chimurenga (which means “revolutionary struggle” in Shona) to the Skirball on Thursday, August 18. His compositions mix traditional Shona mbira (thumb piano) music with Western rock and other modern genres. Even as they decry social injustice, political oppression, the AIDS crisis, and domestic violence, Mapfumo’s uplifting, upbeat, and danceable songs celebrate the human spirit and speak to the universal need for freedom.
The 2011 Sunset Concerts season concludes on Thursday, August 25, with Jorge Villarreal (a.k.a. Mr. Vallenato), the renowned Mexican American accordion virtuoso who brings to the stage his lifelong and deep love for Colombian folk music, including cumbia and vallenato.
