Modstream is hoping to install bars with scrolling displays onto buggies and allow companies to beam in messages wirelessly. The system works by allowing outfits to access a web-based profile, enter in a given message, and transmit the ad to participating stores.
VW's third version of their Space Up!--the Space Up! blue--is being revealed at the LA Auto Show this weekend. The concept touchscreen monitor "controls all conceivable functions" and is meant to demonstrate how future human-machine interfaces might look and operate. The touchscreen (no mention of multi-touch support) uses proximity sensors to react to gestures, apparently, without actually touching the display. The user can simply touch the "main menu carousel" to navigate to the desired category or manipulate the system with simple hand gestures near the display.
VW announced earlier this week that all new VW models in 2009 will have touchscreens.
No word on whether or not this is an official VW x Apple collab, but that touchscreen display sure does look a helluva lot like Apple's Cover Flow.
Ghost Face will be releasing a book in collaboration with MTV entitled "The World According to Pretty Tony". In the past MTV has released a short promo series of Ghost droppin' knowledge, but this time we get a book with a 20 minute audio CD on how to live that good life.

Dazed and confused after more than 15 hours of travel, unable to communicate in English and scared because he couldn’t find his mother, Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski was jolted by a taser just 24 seconds after being confronted by police in Vancouver International Airport.
CTV reported there was a 12-minute delay before medical help arrived. Mr. Dziekanski died shortly after being tasered — only 10 hours after arriving in the country that was to be his new home.
From the bottom of my heart, let me be the first to say f*ck the police for yet again taking another innocent life in the name of keeping us "safe".
After playing the market and coming back down to reality, it seems Alex Rodriguez is on the verge of locking up a 10-year, $270 million deal that will see him in Yankee pinstripes for the rest of his career.
The illest part of this deal is that A-Rod took the wifepiece to Hank Steinbrenner's crib in Tampa on Wednesday and essentially worked the deal on his own. After this, Rodriguez released a statment stating, "After spending time with Cynthia and my family over these last few weeks, it became clear to me that I needed to make an attempt to engage the Yankees regarding my future with the organization." This roughly translates to "I'm like a seed at a birthday party: all I want is cake."
No word yet on whether or not A-Rod's soul was included in the deal.
Baseball superstar Barry Bonds was charged Thursday with perjury and obstruction of justice for allegedly lying when he said he did not use performance-enhancing drugs.

Much respect goes out to our friend K.Gates, K.Gates a New Orleans rapper has just signed a deal with indie label Extreme Entertainment.
After making his debut on BET’s Ultimate Hustler in 2005, New Orleans native K. Gates is back and Hustling even harder.
Extreme Entertainment is the home of Baby Boy da Prince, who’s single "The Way I Live" went on to sell 3 million ring tones on Extreme/ Universal Republic Records.
When asked about his decision to sign with Extreme, Gates responds
"I always support New Orleans first, and I saw what they did with Baby Boy and I said let’s get it."
K. Gates’ roots run deep throughout New Orleans. He and Atlantic recording artist B.G. are both members of the group, "Eighties Babies." Gates is featured on numerous mixtape songs with B.G. and the two are collaborating on new material now. Jimmy Henchmen’s, Czar Entertainment, also manages K. Gates new project will be executively produced by B.G.
Walter "Bossman" Butler, CEO of Extreme Entertainment states
"EXE is thrilled to have K. Gates on board. His style, flow, and swagger is all New Orleans and that’s what we’re about."
K. Gates is set to release his first single "YouTube" in early November. The song, which encourages people to put there dances on YouTube, is already a club banger in New Orleans, and is picking up steam in surrounding areas. Also, there will be a YouTube video dance contest where users can submit their dance video to K. Gates for a chance to be featured in his video.
K. Gates new cd is scheduled for release early 2008.

Cali- Federal and State laws continue to clash over Medical Marijuana usage...
After being hired for a computer tech position Gary Ross was required to take a drug test. Although Ross had failed the screening, he had legal documentation allowing him burnage to alleviate back pain.
The case has made it all the way to the Supreme Court.
Ross will be represented by the nonprofit marijuana advocacy group. The Oakland-based group said it has received hundreds of employee discrimination complaints in California since it first began tracking the issue in 2005.

Three people have been killed and more than 30 injured in a stampede at a supermarket sale in China. The stampede was triggered by the rushing crowd that burst through the market doors after having lined up at 4:00am and waited for hours to purchase cooking oil, which has soared by more than a third in price in the last year in China. Carrefour, which is the world's second-biggest retailer, was reportedly offering 20% off rapeseed oil. Read the whole story here.
Kind of makes lining up for three days for a sneaker drop a little absurd, doesn't it?
..and I gotta say this is the most amazing art installation I've ever laid eyes on. If you're planning on being in the Los Angeles area anytime between now and February of next year, get yourself to this exhibit. If you can't get out to catch this with your own two eyes, you are in luck, as you can take the virtual tour of the exhibit on the MOCA's website here.
ALSO, there was a room in the middle of the exhibit that was showing THE NEW MURAKAMI VIDEO FOR KANYE'S "GOOD MORNING." You heard it here first..this video is A MONSTER!! This should be hitting the MTV and the YouTube soon, but if the anticipation is killing you, Murakami put the concept of the CD artwork into an animated storyline of Kanye's graduation in Universe City. If you don't mind an low-quality copy of the video straight from the exhibit, you can peep it here.
Scion Films hosted an event for the Easy Ten Filmmaker Series on Thursday night at the Social in Hollywood. Founded by Scion to support emerging, independent filmmakers, the Easy 10 gives filmmakers a modest budget and a rare chance to create an original short film on a topic of their choice. Peep their website here and check out all 10 films for free. A good watch for all.
Shouts to Scion for the free Groschl beer, free wine, and according to wifey (and myself) the illest h'orderves I've ever experienced. Peep the pic below of the chicken tenders, fried tofu, and MINI CHEESEBURGERS AND MINI CHICAGO DOGS. The attention to detail on the burgers and the dogs was amazing.
I just got around to uploading these pics, so I apologize for the late drop, but our man Talib Kweli rocked a free show 2 Thursdays ago at USC. His opening act was a 4-man DJ (if you could call it that) act that brought an iMac (yes, folks, a desktop) and 2 turntables on stage. They then proceeded to press play on their computer and play the most cliched radio rap you could imagine, to which the crowd made them feel booed like they bombed at Apollo. Thankfully, Talib soon came on and rocked the crowd for two and half hours..FOR FREE!!.
Apparently, USC doesn't have a lot of Kweli fans though because I seemed to be the only one who knew the words to all the songs. What they did know was where to cop trees because the entire crowd was filled with K smoke..so much so that campus security came out in droves with flashlights to see where the smoke was coming from. It got so bad that I thought the rubber bullets were about to fly, but then it was clear that no such thing was going to happen in a crowd full of kids whose parents have crazy loot.
Shouts to Kweli for rocking yet another show, even if I was the only one singing along.
It seems like things are not all Cookies and C.R.E.A.M. in the Wu-Tang Clan's camp these days. Crumbs aired the team's turmoil on the Missinfo.tv blog yesterday, claiming RZA is ignoring the other members' opinions in terms of artistic direction.
Peep the video clips below of Rae calling RZA out on the "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sample on the new single and claiming that RZA has lost sight of the orginial Wu sound. Rae also claims that the majority of the clan is not happy with the vibe that RZA has laid down on the new "8 Diagrams" album set to release in December.

The organizers of London's 2012 Olympic games have unveiled the design of their new Olympic stadium, which will begin construction in April of 2008.
DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. posted a $39 billion net loss in the third quarter, as an accounting shift involving deferred tax credits brought an abrupt end to string of three profitable quarters for the nation's largest automaker.
The net loss amounted to $68.85 per share, compared with a net loss of $147 million, or 26 cents per share, in the third quarter of last year.
In an extraordinary, but not unfamiliar move, the rock legend Prince is using an army of lawyers to launch attacks on his own fans. Several of the largest web communities dedicated to the artist have received notices to cease and desist all use of photographs, images, lyrics, album covers and anything linked to Prince's likeness.
The owners of the three largest fansites supporting Prince: www.housequake.com, www.princefams.com and www.prince.org supporting Prince have come together to fight back to what amounts to an injustice to the fansites and the very fans who have supported Prince's career, many since the very beginning nearly thirty years ago.
It seems now the only way you can listen to Prince tracks will be if he invites you to come to his house and listen to some music, then play some basketball, and then eat some pancakes. (*-10 points to anyone who misses that reference)
Police raided the summit of Mafia dons in Sicily yesterday, arresting a long time fugitive cops say was revitalizing Cosa Nostra's ties with U.S. mobsters and vying to become the crime syndicate’s next " boss of bosses." Salvatore Lo Piccolo was captured after more than a decade on the run.

A Foundation Stone Ceremony was held recently in Abu Dhabi to officially announce the start of construction of one of the most multi-dimensional and hotly-awaited themed entertainment attractions in the world: the Ferrari Theme Park.
The 250,000 square meter (62-acre) park will open its doors to visitors in the year 2009. A large portion of desert on the island of Yas will be reclaimed and will boast 24 attractions, including a 70-metre high G-Force Tower and
the world's first F1-branded twin rollercoaster ride. Other attractions include multi-format high tech theatres, sophisticated driving schools, Ferrari automotive displays, participatory learning centers, and roller coasters. Moreover, there will be a motor racing circuit designed to host the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009, posh
hotels, apartments, villas, a golf course, marina, and a range of restaurants and shops. The incredible project is going to cost around £300 million.

It's official: Joe Torre is the new manager of the Dodgers.
Torre and the Dodgers finalized a three-year deal today to replace Grady Little, who resigned Tuesday. The contract is believed to be worth around $4 million a season.
Having grown up in Brooklyn, I have a great understanding of the history of the Dodger organization and I am committed to bringing a world championship back to Los Angeles," Torre said in a statement released by the team. "I consider it an honor to be a part of this organization, which is one of the most storied franchises in all of sports."
In an effort to curtail trigger-happy cops dumping clips into people pulling out their wallets, it seems like pistol-mounted cameras are about to become the new thing to keep the fuzz in line.
When an officer pulls his gun from the holster, the digital recording begins. With a l.5 ounce camera about the size of a lipstick placed below the barrel of the gun, it can record sound and every object or movement the weapon points at. Orange County's sheriff's emergency service team and the Newburgh Police Department will be the first to test the pistol cam and they may be the first in the country to have an extra eye looking over every officers decision.
Chief Eric Paolilli says "if the technology is there to be used and it's an effective tool and we examine it and there's no safety issues and there's no issues with our guns there's no issues that come to light during this pilot time, it's one more tool that we can use."
This new police technology comes to Newburgh just a year shy of the anniversary of the police shootout here on Broadway that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Antonio Bryant.
The gunfight put a strain on the communities relationship with police. (No shit..really?!?)
In secret trials last week, England's Ministry of Defense said it had made a vehicle completely disappear and predicted that an invisible tank would be ready for service by 2012. The new technology uses cameras and projectors to beam images of the surrounding landscape onto a tank.
How the technology works in a combat situation is very sensitive, but the MoD is believed to be testing a military jacket that works on the same principles.
YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST!! Invisible M65 jackets are gonna be that hot shit in 2012!! Call Kevin at Hypebeast and Rob, Jeff, & Frank at WeeklyDrop..tell 'em you heard it here first!!
In the midst of upcoming releases "American Gangster" and "Mr. Untouchable" much attention has been turned to the rise of the 1970's Harlem dope trade.
Seemingly the two biggest names of their time Niky Barnes and Franks Lucas were not only competitors on 116th street but friends as well.
The New York Times has published an amazing article featuring a conversation by Barnes and Lucas discussing everything from prices, police, snitching, and the dope game.
New Jersey state police can't quite get a grip on Essex county.
As gangs continue to lock down neighborhood and control city blocks, the state is left with the delimma of how to spend funding.
With low budgets, the police have no way to to guarantee the protections of witnesses and are forced to drop cases when the witness refuses to testify. Even when someone is willing to take the stand they are often found dead before they get the opportunity.
The New Jersey witness protection agency also has a clause against relocating witnesses who have a criminal record or a drug problem, or are unemployed, saying that to do so might send criminals into unsuspecting cities and neighborhoods, which rules out most of Newark residents.

An excerpt from the New York Times, written by Michael Idov
Perhaps you've seen a memorable Louis Vuitton ad in the back of New York and other magazines: a pensive Mikhail Gorbachev being driven in a limo past the remains of the Berlin Wall, his only companion a trusty piece of LV luggage with some reading material sticking out. Well, we just now happened to take a closer look at that material, and Ho … lee … crap. It's a Russian book or magazine, strategically posed so that the title is upside-down but readable: “Litvinenko's Murder — They Wanted to Give Up a Suspect for $7,000.” Litvinenko, of course, is the Russian ex-spy whose death — by polonium-laced sushi — has been widely attributed to Putin's goons.
We have no idea what the business with the $7,000 is (maybe it's the price of the bag?), and nor do we want to know! The very fact of Litvinenko's name in the middle of the meticulously composed Annie Leibovitz shot is enough of a jaw-dropper. Is Gorby sending the world secret messages through luggage ads? —Michael Idov
The House on Tuesday approved the Senate version of the Internet tax moratorium, which would ban Internet-only taxes such as access taxes for seven years. The current ban has been in effect since 1998, except for a lapse during most of 2004.
