hi I'm Hollywood and welcome to the buzz report and now for the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the new samsung SCH you 740 now this is a very cool multimedia and messaging phone from verizon it's got this innovative dual flip design so you can open it like a phone or you can open it in landscape mode for text messaging and emailing full qwerty keyboard of course megapixel camera here on the front music player nice skinny design my only problem really with this phone is that the SCH U 740 is designed to compete with the LG env and I mean think about how that goes I'll take the LG and be my good man vs. I'm looking for that Samsung skinny phone with the keyboard thingy that flips open this way and that way and then it also plays music it takes pictures and does email and stuff you know what I mean like the scu boat 42 or something yet no you know what I'll just take the LG env thanks and now for the news microsoft CEO steve ballmer says that sales of windows vista have indeed been disappointing and he says piracy is the reason so you know I would have thought the problem lay with the multiple confusing editions of Windows Vista the incredibly high price of the new operating system coupled with the cost of the new hardware you'll need in order to run it the fact that it's hard to pinpoint what benefits if any it offers over windows XP and widespread reports of compatibility problems with everything from video games to iTunes you know when you think of it that way you kind of have to wonder who would even want to steal it Viacom this week announced a deal with these still in beta internet TV service juiced Viacom will provide some of its full length MTV Comedy Central and B et shows too juiced now the news is interesting because Viacom recently cut off talks with YouTube and demanded that YouTube remove a hundred thousand videos that infringe on Viacom copyrights and Viacom to move is also interesting because the company seems to be betting that people are less interested in short low-quality clips of online videos and more interested in watching complete shows downloaded from the internet so you know you'd go from this hey you come to this meeting with the CEO oh oh yeah yeah I forgot yeah let's go to this hey you coming to this meeting with the CEO hmm yeah I'm just a minute you know it's two o'clock right now we gotta go yep once I did you know this meeting is mandatory for the her company boo come on I am watching this you know you're so fired yeah you know what on second thought maybe this deal isn't such a good idea and speaking of addiction a 58 year old man is suing IBM for firing him claiming that he is addicted to the internet and he should have been entitled to treatment instead of being summarily dismissed for engaging in sexual encounters and online chat rooms James potenza also says that other IBM employees engaged in much worse behavior but were not fired for example he says that one couple had sex on a desk but both people were transferred instead of being fired Oh in related news HBO has just announced development of a new series JavaScript divas behind the big blue door a study this week found that playing video games can actually make for better surgeons researchers said that video game skills translated into surgeons who made fewer errors performed faster and scored higher in surgical tests than colleagues who did not play video games the only downside is that sometimes the game playing surgeons killed their patients on the table perform taunting dances over their bodies and then challenged them to go ahead and respawn noob I'm Mollywood and this has been the buzz report thanks for watching
