Not news to most people, but I had to post it because I couldn't believe what I saw last night after the Pats-Colts game. As Belichick is sprinting out of the stadium one of his thugs throws one camera guy to the ground and pushes another out of the way. This isn't paparazzi in Hollywood, part of being a coach in the NFL is knowing that you will be put on camera whether you win or lose. The guy needs to grow up, he made a bad call and lost the game, deal with it. It doesn't give him the right to be tossing camera men around. I'm not sure whether that's a fineable offence for the NFL, but it should be. It's a lot worse than Ochocinco's dollar bill gag, or wearing the wrong color chin strap...

It's Hot Fiyah!
These new Sony commercials are excellent. Their TV commercials aren't just chock full of celebrities, they're full of celebrities that can act. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the Peyton/Justin/Erin commercial where they're playing ping pong. Peyton has always been clutch in commercials (cut that meat, anyone..) but Justin brought that commercial to the next level. The PS3 commercials have also been really good. No one knows who that spokesman is, but he does those commercials really well.
On a side note, I thought I bought lentil soup at the store, and it turned out to be split pea soup...GROSS!
My career goal is to be a VP of Epic Footage.
****UPDATE****
Awesome new commercial:

Lil Jon
What is the deal with Lil' Jon? My man disappeared off the map a couple of years ago, and all of the sudden he's teamed up with Jay Sean and Sean "Da" Paul... I'd really like to know how that all came about. I don't see why anyone in Jay Sean or Sean Paul's team would be lying awake in bed one night and all of the sudden bolt up and say "I know what [their artist] needs, a song featuring Lil' Jon!!!!" So I'm assuming it's Jon that got connected with them (does he have a team anymore). Which leads me to my next question: what does Lil Jon have on these two artists that would cause them to accept the deal?! I love Lil Jon, but at this point in his career I don't see what he brings to the table. He didn't produce the track, so it wasn't an obligatory feature and he [INTERRUPTION] HAHAHAHA, I JUST LOOKED IT UP ON YOUTUBE AND THEY HAVE AN OPTION FOR THE VERSION WITHOUT LIL JON [END INTERRUPTION] doesn't actually contribute anything except shout outs and ad libs. If anyone has more info on how LJ ended up on this track I'd like to hear it.
I'm sure when Lil Jon heard that he was going to be featured he said:

eBay
Honestly, eBay is, as Dave would say, the shiz. Trying to pick up a Leafs jersey for Dave right now, and looking at $10.49 which would be a deal so sick it should be called H1N1. I'll update once the auction is done (30 minutes).
**Update**
15 minutes left and still in the lead. I've gotten some ill things off of ebay for cheap. Osi Umenyiora jersey for $40 (legit, sewn nameplate, etc.) Air mattress for like $20, it's come in handy many a time (ask the sTuNNa ChEA!) Maple Leafs tickets from a dude in Delaware. I used to be wary of eBay, but so far I've had nothing but good experiences (knock on wood).
**Update II**
COUNT IT. Won that ish for a grand total of $21 with shipping. Now we'll be looking fresh to death walking into Wachovia Center this winter. CHEA!

Clutch Mugshot
Katt Williams accused of burglary...except he had been staying in the house for the past month. Sounds innocent to me, but way to stay Pimpin in the mugshot Katt!
Windows 7
Originally this post was going to be about Apple TV ads, but it got depressing real fast so I deleted it. Instead I'm going to do my quick review of Windows 7 (I'm a PC guy, I despise Mac fanboys).
Overall, I've been really happy with W7. I got a new computer a couple of years ago and it came with Vista, which honestly, I never really had any problems with, but it definitely wasn't the greatest operating system. I think W7 has brought a lot of great tweaks and improvements. I'm not someone who goes nuts tweaking his computer, so most of my comments will focus on top level stuff.
Taskbar: The taskbar is sick. The preview functionality allows you to move your mouse over a tab (Firefox for example) and see mini previews of all your open windows and as you roll over those it shows the full size version. Makes it really easy to switch windows, and is really useful when you just need to quickly look at a window and then switch back to your original one.
Media Center: In Vista Pro they didn't give you Media Center, so I really have no comparison, but W7 Media Center is awesome. The best part is definitely the built in streaming Netflix capability, absolutely clutch if you're a Netflix subscriber. You can download a patch that links it directly to Hulu desktop, and hopefully MS will work out a deal with Hulu so it can be fully integrated.
File Storage: W7 has added a feature called Libraries which compiles all your files of the same extension. For example if you have 20 different files with music in them, all of your music will be in the music library so you don't need to switch between all of the folders.
Appearance: W7 has the best desktop/theme feature of Windows OS I've seen. Automatic desktop background switching, a TON of different built in and downloadable themes and overall a really nice aesthetic appeal. I'd say this puts Windows in a very good position to compete with Mac's well publicized looks.
Overall I'd say if you have a PC, the upgrade to W7 is worth it. I went for a clean install because my computer was starting to slow down anyways, and I wanted to get the feeling of a fresh computer again. Speaking of speed, so far it's booted really fast and programs have loaded really well. If you're a student, rock the $30 student deal.
Quick screenshot, plus a good look at the libraries feature:

Long Time, No See
Alright, so there hasn't been much Dipset news recently, unfortunately. So I've decided that in the interim I'm going to use this as a personal blog to see whether I can pull of an interesting blog without the help of Killa Cam. Judging by this introduction, I can't. But I'll try. Basically, expect a lot of posts relating to sports (football, hockey, college bball, and occasionally baseball), some TV and movie stuff, maybe a little music, and probably a lot of random. Will this feature the cleverly crafted iPhone videos featured on everydayisadipsetxmas.blogspot.com, probably not. Will it be easier to read than the in depth album reviews of david-albumoftheweek.blogspot.com... absolutely.
ANYWAYS, let's get to blogging and start with AK's favorite topic: hockey.
The Maple Leafs beat the Red Wings to get their first win streak of the season, two games! Can they keep it up? I hope so!
In Gustavsonn I trust!
And now, I'll leave you with this:
