Biggest Loser Season Finale Results
Another season of the Biggest Loser ended. There were four people left last night- Michael Ventrella, Ashley Johnston, Daris George, and Koli Palu.Mike, the 526-pound Chicagoan beat out the others (Ashley and Daris) for the title of being “The Biggest Loser” this season at a total of 264 pounds. Awarded was the $250,000 grand prize. Koli on the other hand, still won the at-home $100,000 prize.
Bob Harper, trainer of the said show is giving his comments on the said show. He described it as one of the most emotionally-charged seasons of the reality show because the contestants are the heaviest ever to participate and that fact made its toll on them emotionally.
The emotional toll made its way particularly on Michael, who began on the show over 500 pounds, and after shedding more than 200 pounds, he realized that he was still obese.
The Biggest Loser Finale fans (primarily the BL fans and Bob fans) are all waiting for the upcoming season finale and are planing for a party. The said event would compose of full two hours of before and after pictures of people who have changed their lives.

Why Should Customs Officers Be Determining What Counts As A Copyright Circumvention Device?
Some of the earliest fears around ACTA concerned some of the earliest draft suggestions, that would increase the power of border patrol/customs officials to look for infringement at the border, including the possibility of searching your laptop or iPod for infringing content. While those provisions mostly seemed to drop out in the negotiations, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t still efforts to get closer to that sort of system. Mart Kuhn, at Public Knowledge, has an interesting post, looking at a bill in the Senate that would give customs the authority to determine if things crossing the border were “circumvention devices” as prohibited by the DMCA. Of course, as the article notes, determining what is and what is not a circumvention device is not particularly easy — as various lawsuits have demonstrated. So it’s quite questionable as to why anyone thinks border patrol agents should be involved in that process at all.
But a bigger issue is the same one at the heart of the debate over whether or not customs officials should have the right to search your laptop at the border. If the point of border patrol/customs is to prevent bad things from getting into the country, it’s pretty ridiculous to try to prevent software at the border, because that software has already totally crossed over the border via the still mostly borderless internet. So this whole thing seems like a charade to look for more ways to take away basic privacy rights in favor of an entertainment industry that is so afraid someone might infringe that it doesn’t realize trying to stop circumvention at the border won’t do anything other than cause serious hassles for legitimate travelers.

Announcing Our Next Conference: paidContent 2010 Mobile, July 20, NYC
More mobile phones are morphing into portable computers, leading to a dramatic shift in the way people consume content on the move. Instead of buying ringtones for $3.99 and playing Pong, mobile subscribers are watching HD video, updating their statuses and “checking in” to venues. They’re choosing from hundreds of thousands of applications, many of them free. The shift presents huge opportunities for mobile content companies—online veterans as well as traditional media conglomerates—but also some new perils.
We’ll be exploring both the opportunities and the potential pitfalls during paidContent 2010 Mobile: Leveraging the Smartphone Boom, our full-day mobile conference in New York on July 20 at the Columbia University Faculty House. Will users already shelling out for apps and access continue to pay for this content – and will enough new users follow suit? Can paid compete with free? Will mobile advertising finally take off with Apple’s iAds and Google’s purchase of AdMob?
Other big questions loom: Should content be “made for mobile” or imported from print, TV and the web? How will carriers, accustomed to owning customer relationships, survive when handset makers, mobile-platform companies, even content providers want to wrest that power away? And how will the tablet wave led by the iPad change the playing field?
We’ll bring together decision makers who straddle the online and mobile worlds every day—creators, distributors, investors, carriers, handset makers, and developers – for a robust discussion about how companies new and old to mobile content can make the most of the smartphone boom. For more detail on the day’s program, go here.
Register today to take advantage of the $495 early- bird rate.

London Meetup June 2?
As I start my transition out of ContentNext, I am also “transitioning” into travels. First mini-stop (prior to the actual world travels in July-Aug-Sep): Iceland for a week, starting tomorrow. As part of that I am in Reykjavik for a day, and then go up to the northwest part of the country in Westfjords, up to the Arctic Circle. And no, nowhere near the volcano. If anyone in the media/internet/tech community wants to meet up in Reykjavik, either on May 27th or 31st evening, let me know at rali AT paidcontent.org.
Separately, I am in London for a few days, after Iceland, and I have some requests for putting up a farewell meetup of sorts. The date we’re planning is June 2nd evening, but we need a venue. If you have any ideas or offers on it, send them to our UK editor Robert Andrews, at robert AT paidcontent.org. Once we find a venue, we’ll put up a registration page for it soon.

McNeil Promises Quality Repair
McNeil Consumer Health Care draws steps to remedy serious quality and safety lapses at their manufacturing facilities. They have been under investigation by the Food and Drug Administration due to the recalls they made for their over-the-counter drugs – Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl. The company said in a statement, “McNeil is taking steps to bring its operation back to a level of quality that Johnson & Johnson demands of its companies, and that the public rightly expects of us, that we expect of ourselves.”
The steps include hiring an independent pharmaceutical consulting firm to identify corrective actions to improve quality and manufacturing systems at its Fort Washington facility. The company stated that they are also improving employee training in every part of the manufacturing and quality operations, and implementing new processes for conducting investigations on quality levels. They also stated that they have made organizational changes, however it was not specified. They also stated that they are working with an independent consultant on specific steps to improve overall quality which was termed as “remediation” period. There will also be a remediation committee responsible for implementing the plan for the plant and monitoring its effectiveness.
The FDA will be updated by the company on the progress of their plan for a month. There would also be an independent firm to help the company in making product decisions for the first months of the operation. McNeil said that they will conduct in-depth quality assessments for each product that the company manufactures to “ensure each product’s ability to meet specifications throughout its shelf life.”

Whoa, BP Could Be Hit With A Staggering $60 Billion In Fines Over The Oil Spill (BP)
It sounds like the issue of limited liability for BP is moot.
Both Reuters and The Guardian are reporting that according to legal documents and a close reading of the law, BP could be liable for some $4300/barrel that gushes into the water.
In the worst case scenario, says the Guardian, with oil gushing at over 100,000 barrels per day for more than two months, the oil giant could be looking at a $60 billion fine. Reuters arrives at a more conservative estimate of $10 billion.
Meanwhile, BP has already lost about $60 billion in market cap, but our guess is that if the ultimate fine were to be at the high end of the range, the stock would have a lot further to fall.
Let’s hope operation top kill works as planned.

An excerpt from the Nightline interview of Jesse James came out. This is his first interview since the Academy Award winning actress Sandra Bullock filed for divorce.James claimed that he never wanted to harm Sandra or his kids. But as like the previous videos of Jesse James, people around the world were not swayed from their “absolute dislike” of him.
At one point of the interview, Vicky Mabrey asks James about his feeling towards the fact that he is one of the most hated men in America. James replied the he thinks he is the most hated man not only in America, but in the world.
A footage from James’ Nightline interview leaks to the internet. The video includes Jesse James claiming that he wanted Bullock to catch him cheating on her. The scandal effectively ended the five-year relationship between the two.
James will also answer questions regarding the “Nazi salute” photo which is quite a topic on the web for days. There were comments regarding racism because of the said photo.
James talks about the pain of losing about Louis, the child that he and Sandra adopted.

Nexus One Begins to Appear in Third-Party Retail Stores
If you wondered what Google meant when they said the Nexus One would be getting “more retail availability”, just take a quick look at the image above. That’s right, it’s an advertisement for a Nexus One sold through a retail channel! Oh my! When did this happen you might ask? Well, it appears wireless retailer and T-Mobile affiliate i Wireless has started offering a number of Android devices in the past few days, including the Nexus One. I Wireless is now selling the phone for $299.95 on contract after rebate — a good bit more than the $179 Google charges, but in return, it looks like you can select just about any plan T-Mobile offers (Google restricts you to the Even More 500 plan to get the subsidy). This is a pretty good deal if you ask me.
So, anyone want to head over the i Wireless and pick one up?
