Ja Rule Ends Weapons Sentence, Begins Tax Exasion Sentence In Federal Custody
From NY Daily News:
Platinum-selling rapper Ja Rule has left an upstate New York prison after serving most of his two-year sentence for illegal gun possession, but is heading straight into federal custody in a tax case.
U.S. Marshals escorted the 36-year-old out of Mid-State Correctional Facility at 9:30 Thursday morning. It wasn’t immediately clear where he’ll serve time in the tax case.
The rapper, who had been in protective custody because of his celebrity, has some time remaining on a 28-month sentence for tax evasion.
His lawyer says Ja Rule, whose real name is Jeffrey Atkins, may have less than six months left and may be eligible for a halfway house.
An order to pay $1.1 million in back taxes is one of the main reasons he wants to get back to work.

…When it came time to film the clip for “Why Am I the One,” they decided to try something different — namely, make a video where they didn’t suffer egregious harm. And, as it turns out, that was easier than expected — mostly because they’re hardly in the thing.
“We’re following the path of a lost piece of luggage,” multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost explained. “So, this time, we’re not really the star.”

Sony Reveals The Playstation 4
Sooooooooo I was reading up on some fashion and I was delighted to see that Sony is now moving the new PS4 gaming console into high-gear. Spotted on High Snobiety…..you can check out some pics below as well. No clue on when it’s dropping (though if we look hard enough there might be some news on that as well)…
According to lead system architect Mark Cerny, the PS4 has been in development for at least five years.
As far as specs, Cerny said it runs on x86 architecture, a “highly enhanced” PC GPU (with “almost 2 teraflops of performance,” he added), an unknown amount of local HDD storage, and 8GB of GDDR5 system memory. Cerny next unveiled the next gen console’s controller, the DualShock 4. The controller features a touchpad, a light bar, and what looks like rubberized grips. Otherwise, it basically looks like a DualShock 3 with some added bells and whistles.
