Not sure if there's an official one or not, but the NBA season started last night and it started well for me. The Bulls absolutely demolished the Heat by 42 after their ridiculously long ring ceremony. Man, I'd love to be the "Neuromuscular Therapist" for an NBA Championship team, work so little and get the same ring as the millionaires.

One interesting note from the game was on a play where Andres Nocioni drove the lane and was bumped by Antoine Walker on the shot, Noc thought he was fouled and on his was back down the court he began to protest, but then remembered the new rule and tried to take it back. It was too late and he was called for a Technical. The rule worked fine in that game, but I really, really, really, can't wait until the full season begins and we get LeBron, Wade, Duncan, etc. complaining. The calls they get only makes them feel they should get every call and the whining and acting when they don't is just annoying. If the league calls it consistently, even on the superstars, it'll be nice to see it for one, but for another it'll be interesting to see the on court (statistical) result of that. If they don't call in consistently, well then, I wonder who'll notice it first.

Warriors in the running for Iverson

Wednesday, Dec 13, 2006 3:17 pm EST

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly put together their offer for Allen Iverson, and it includes point guard Baron Davis and breakthrough center Andris Biedrins. A source close to one of the players went as far as calling the deal "done."

The Philadelphia 76ers would ship Iverson to the Warriors, possibly along with center Steven Hunter.

Edit: Biedrins did play, he just didn't start. So maybe that move wasn't as significant as I thought.

This was shot down quick by Chris Mullin Thursday. Here on the local radio sports talk they confirmed it.

I'd rather keep Baron and Andris. Andris is only 20, too young to just throw him out for Iverson.

Webber can't defend a broken fire hydrant at this point.

Bulls have pretty much 0 chance of winning the title this year.

It will be either:

West:(West is taking the title this year, East can't contend.)

Phoenix Suns (Most likely)

Dallas Mavericks (Second most likely, can't handle Suns though)

San Antonio Spurs

East: (Has zero chance of winning against Western Conference this year.)

Detroit Pistons (Won't win over a Western Conference team though)

That's about it really.. you could toss in a couple other east teams like Wizards, maybe, but I dunno. The East just suck so bad this season.

I was surprised to see Dallas go so early.

it would be nice to see an 8 seed make it to the finals lol. more realistically though, i believe it will be the winner of the suns/spurs series that will move on to the finals to face the pistons. i'm rooting for the suns to win it all.

    • Until Dawn 2 revealed featuring new cast, new story, and new developer

      By noobient · Posted

      All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.

      New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.

      Oh, they're back to making console games that actually sell consoles? Shock horror.

    • Zen Browser 1.20.2b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.20.2b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.20.2b changelog: Security Mozilla Security Advisory 2026-54 New Features Updated to Firefox 151.0.3 Boosts now support a dark mode UI based on your system dark mode setting.
