In October 2008, J retired from acting to pursue a career as a rapper.The decision took many by surprise.He grew a heavy,bushy beard and took to
wearing oversized sunglasses all the time. Casey Affleck,his then brother-in-law,found the decision fascinating and decided to document J's
journey.
J began performing in public, but his ‘rapping’ wasn’t met with much enthusiasm.In March 2009, he was heckled while performing in a Miami club.
He jumped off the stage and attacked the heckler. Later, in a bizarre interview with David Letterman, his desire to pursue rapping was met with
laughter from both Letterman and the audience.
Chicago-based psychiatrist Paul Dobransky posited that Phoenix was mentally ill. “There is something wrong, and it’s beyond drug abuse.”J's
publicist, took umbrage with Dobransky’s statements and mocked Dobransky by stating "Hope they spelled his name right".
During the 2009 Academy Awards, Ben Stiller poked fun at J's dishevelled look by dressing up as him and mockingly announcing “I just want to
retire from being the funny guy, that’s all.” The bit drew huge laughs from the audience. Later in 2010, when the “documentary,” I’m Still Here came
out, Affleck and J finally fessed up that it was all a massive, elaborate hoax.
The idea behind the documentary was to “explore celebrity, and explore the relationship between the media and the consumers and the
celebrities themselves.”
J carried out the charade for almost two years, staying ‘in character’ every single time he appeared in public.

● Microsoft’s X is its longest-running software product, with the first iteration dating back
to the 8-bit days of 1982.Microsoft abandoned the franchise in 2012, the general
consensus being that it was too niche of a product for the global giant to keep going. It
sold the rights to the core sim technology to Lockheed Martin, which uses it for
academic and training environments.
● X is said to be more than just a game and could be used as a valuable learning tool for
some aspirants.
● What has changed for the new generation of X is Microsoft's development of its
Google __ competitor.
● The game gets its 3D data from Y,pulling precise details for anywhere in the world
from the cloud and rendering the graphics locally. The end result is a virtual world
that’s as accurate as the most recent Y data.
● Perhaps the hardest thing that X did is make Y look cool.

  • 149. 18 In October 2008, J retired from acting to pursue a career as a rapper.The decision took many by surprise.He grew a heavy,bushy beard and took to wearing oversized sunglasses all the time. Casey Affleck,his then brother-in-law,found the decision fascinating and decided to document J's journey. J began performing in public, but his ‘rapping’ wasn’t met with much enthusiasm.In March 2009, he was heckled while performing in a Miami club. He jumped off the stage and attacked the heckler. Later, in a bizarre interview with David Letterman, his desire to pursue rapping was met with laughter from both Letterman and the audience. Chicago-based psychiatrist Paul Dobransky posited that Phoenix was mentally ill. “There is something wrong, and it’s beyond drug abuse.”J's publicist, took umbrage with Dobransky’s statements and mocked Dobransky by stating "Hope they spelled his name right". During the 2009 Academy Awards, Ben Stiller poked fun at J's dishevelled look by dressing up as him and mockingly announcing “I just want to retire from being the funny guy, that’s all.” The bit drew huge laughs from the audience. Later in 2010, when the “documentary,” I’m Still Here came out, Affleck and J finally fessed up that it was all a massive, elaborate hoax. The idea behind the documentary was to “explore celebrity, and explore the relationship between the media and the consumers and the celebrities themselves.” J carried out the charade for almost two years, staying ‘in character’ every single time he appeared in public.
