It’s possible that the Carrier iq story has been blown out of proportion, but there’s currently no way to tell. The whole situation is sketchy, and those involved aren’t making it any better. Part of the confusion is that what Carrier iq does — and is capable of doing — differs between carrier companies and… Continue reading Carrier IQ: private data pirates

Are you tired of Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator? Several new browsers seek to depose those two web browsers as the kings of the World Wide Web. Internet browsers originated in Berkley in 1992 with Mosaic, which was capable of viewing text pages only on the familiar dull-grey background. Since then browsers have improved tremendously… Continue reading Nicole spends Sunday in Gauntlet offices
Alanis Morissette, Under Rug Swept
By Nicole Riva
On Under Rug Swept, Morissette finds a perfect balance between the anger expressed on Jagged Little Pill and the spiritual clarity on Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. Songs like “Narcissus” prove that men still piss off Morissette, and she is still dealing with self image though songs like “So Unsexy.” Her voice has never been stronger… Continue reading Alanis Morissette, Under Rug Swept
Cathartic want Nickelback’s fame
By Nicole Riva
The story of Cathartic began just over one year ago in Medicine Hat; they met in true rock and roll form, drunk.

Much like their debut, The Better Life, the latest release from 3 Doors Down is a simple and solid rock album. It’s full of hooks and catchy lyrics that tell simple stories of anger, melancholy, and plenty of bitterness.

Lifehouse, Stanley Climbfall
By Nicole Riva
Boring, dull and whiny are only three words that describe Lifehouse’s sophomore effort. The music lacks energy and has no diversity in its sound. The lyrics are filled with rock cliches like “I have eyes but tell me do I see?” And these cliches are followed with lots of rock-star whining. The band does not… Continue reading Lifehouse, Stanley Climbfall
Cinemania
By Nicole Riva
If you think you watch too many movies see Cinemania and be proven wrong. Anyone who has ever thought they suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder will feel normal after watching this film. This is a documentary that lacks in the excitement department but is interesting, intriguing and disturbing enough to hold an audience’s attention. The… Continue reading Cinemania

Choice, not oppression
You see a woman walking towards you. You glance at her face, but surprisingly there is no face to be seen. A set of eyes peers out from behind a cloth veil. She smiles at you — you can tell from the look in her eye — and walks past you. What do you think… Continue reading Choice, not oppression
