This is pretty funny, you should watch it.

Sen­a­tor Ted Stevens’ trial begins.

Oh boy.

I must agree com­pe­ti­tion will come from the mar­ket not from the gov­ern­ment or the gov­ern­ment regulations.

This is ridicu­lous, why Apple??

Some of these apps look pretty cool.

That’s a steal and then some.

That would have been an inter­est­ing project.

Uhh you think???

I agree with Newt Gin­grich up until his plan to get us out of this mess, some points are, some aren’t. How­ever his rea­son­ing as to why Wash­ing­ton should rush through any bill is solid.

The more I read about this the less I like.

I have to agree the tech­nol­ogy side of edu­ca­tion is lack­ing, it’s all about the hard­ware and the soft­ware but not the people.

What does that mean when the EU is unwill­ing to give money to companies?

We’re going back­wards in time.

McCain’s sci­ence policy.

Hmmm, this bears some look­ing into.

Another rul­ing that doesn’t makes sense one of which is that sex is some­how worse than violence.

Acces­si­bil­ity is a major prob­lem on the web and needs some real solutions.

See if you are reg­is­tered to vote thanks of the Obama campaign.

See if you are reg­is­tered to vote thanks to McCain.

What are the ways that IT work­ers can move up in a company.

I hope it makes it the whole way.

“So 50 per­cent of the enlisted recruits (i.e., not includ­ing the offi­cers’ corps) come from fam­i­lies in the top 40 per­cent of the income dis­tri­b­u­tion, while only 10 per­cent come from the bot­tom 20 per­cent.” This is an inter­est­ing study on income and the military.

What are we doing??

What is the worst pos­si­ble thing to hap­pen in the 2008 election.

Dumb and dumber music labels.

At the very least if Con­gress is going to go through with this stu­pid bailout they should do this.

Wow this was an amaz­ing guy who did some really and amaz­ing projects.

Agreed I won’t be buy­ing music this way.

That would be pretty cool, though what if you have a data plan do you still get the ads?

How should restau­rants deal with peo­ple who don’t tip appropriately.

Mor­gan Stan­ley and Gold­man Sachs can now hold deposits from investors.

On the recent plan for the Trea­sury to take over the mort­gage debt of the large finan­cial firms.

The law being pro­posed to allow the Trea­sury Dept. to han­dle the fina­cial cri­sis would make so that the deci­sions are to not and can not be reviewed by a court or another agency. How is that legal?

Car­bon dat­ing places Stone­henge being built in 2300 BCE.

That’s a cool lit­tle thing that Chrome does.

Looks like we could be send­ing money to banks that are for­eign based if they have “sig­nif­i­cant oper­a­tions” in the US.

That’ll be nice.

Once again a Sarah Hask­ins is awesome.

Does Palin have any­thing beyond scripted responses, she has yet to really answer ques­tions that are any­thing other than “Obama does this .., we won’t”

Another iPhone app is down for the count.

“Other peo­ple, who can be just as sci­en­tific, see the nat­ural order of the world in terms of entropy, decline and death.
Those peo­ple aren’t nec­es­sar­ily wrong. But the engineer’s point of view puts trust in human improve­ment. Cer­tainly there have been moments when that think­ing has gone hor­ri­bly awry — atonal music or mol­e­c­u­lar gas­tron­omy. But over the course of human his­tory, writ­ing, print­ing, com­put­ing and Googling have only made it eas­ier to think and communicate.”

Hey not so bad news for the IT sector.

Oh I want this.

Ugghhh.

I want to see this movie so badly.

I’ve got to agree, I think Microsoft actu­ally did a pretty decent adver­tis­ing campaign.

North Korea says that the US has not ful­filled it’s side of the agreement.

Ehhh, it had to hap­pen, McCain couldn’t expect to be so off the cuff in the gen­eral elec­tion, far too risky.

The typ­i­cal gamer is actu­ally health­ier than the aver­age American.

Sum­mary of the video is that there is no sci­en­tific evi­dence for life begin­ning at fertilization.

“Yet unless real life and acad­e­mia some­how meet, they will not be able to trans­form one another, but instead will con­tinue to oper­ate in sep­a­rate worlds, avoid­ing each another because of igno­rance, fear, or both.” This was a good essay.

What actu­ally hap­pened with Fan­nie, Fred­die, AIG and Lehman.

“Solar pan­els with his 3D cells would pro­vide 500 times more light absorp­tion than commercially-available solar cells and nine times more than cutting-edge 3D solar cells.” This kid and his design are going somewhere.

Dang, WebKit just dras­ti­cally improved their JavaScript engine.

Good job IBM, now sell some chips.

EFF has filed another law­suit against Bush and the NSA, over the sur­veil­lance of inter­net traffic.

All of this looks like good changes.

In warmer weather plans do not suck up more CO2 as was pre­vi­ously expected.

Well that’s funny though it cer­tainly looks like it is the cor­rect legal judg­ment to remove them.

“US Defence Sec­re­tary Robert Gates has defended the right of Amer­i­can forces to strike at mil­i­tants on the Pak­istani side of the Afghan border.”

Most recent Gallup poll, Obama and McCain back to pre-convention, most bet­ting polls are going for Obama winning.

Oops, the DOJ’s views on email pri­vacy in an effort to have more unwar­ranted access to email lim­its their abil­ity to pros­e­cute this case.

$180 bil­lion to inter­na­tional markets.

Well crud those actu­ally worked.

I would argue that states have the right to set stricter con­trols than the fed­eral gov­ern­ment, they have to at least meet the fed­eral guide­lines but feel free to have stricter controls/warnings, etc.

“Noth­ing shocked me more in the early days of car­ing for my elderly mother than the dis­cov­ery that Medicare, the U.S.’s uni­ver­sal health cov­er­age for those ages 65 and older, does not pay for so many of the things the frail elderly require.

Not home health aides for those who can’t get out of bed, bathe, dress or feed them­selves. Not an assisted-living facil­ity, with handicap-accessible apart­ments, con­gre­gate meals and trans­porta­tion ser­vices. Not nurs­ing homes where the most help­less of the elderly live out their days with round-the-clock super­vi­sion.” Didn’t know that.

So should you bail on those stocks?

Good thing to com­ple­ment it’s host of cloud com­put­ing services.

Most bet­ting sys­tems are show­ing Obama winning.

Sen­a­tor Hagel on Palin, still hasn’t stepped over to endors­ing Obama.

New ad by Obama, dang it’s pretty darn good.

What’s new in this report?

“Mr. Young defeated Lt. Gov. Sean Par­nell, who had been endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin, by 48,195 to 47,891.” Looks like Palin isn’t as pop­u­lar as we were led to believe.

Well??

That’s a slight improvement.

This makes me almost want to go out and get mar­ried in California.

Rather than lay­ing down edicts try let­ting your peo­ple fig­ure out how to fix things on their own.

This is really scary, do I need the police to know wher­ever I drive, uhh no.

“Study: Game expe­ri­ences can pro­vide hands-on learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties” Umm some­thing every­body has known for years, stu­pid media.

WTF??? “The fem­i­nists declare that she’s not a real woman because she doesn’t hew to their rigid cat­e­gories.” She isn’t a fem­i­nist because she isn’t, being a fem­i­nist doesn’t mean being female.

Yeah, new changes in the HTML 5 spec with regards to forms.

Other coun­tries used to use our court rul­ings, now less and less, is it because of the changes in the court or our for­eign policy.

Scott Adams reviews his own survey.

Some very cool images of dynamic systems.

That’s pretty cool, a guy found a way to spoof GPS receivers.

No and no, this does noth­ing for gas sup­plies either today or in the future.

Umm yeah just a little.

Are we really that close to a new ver­sion of Windows?

I don’t see a point in hav­ing a home phone.

This looks nice, you can upload new audio and image files to 50+ ser­vices at once.

“On August 18, in the vil­lage of Naro­sura in the Rift Val­ley, a 10 year-old girl died from Female Gen­i­tal Muti­la­tion (FGM). At 5 that morn­ing she was cut. By 10, she had bled to death. As a result, for the first time in Maa­sai his­tory, a cir­cum­ciser has been arrested.” Both sad and good news.

This ad makes no sense.

Sarah Palin’s email account was hacked and looks like she might have used pri­vate email for gov­ern­ment use, which is a big no no.

Looks very nice for those who need to travel only within 40 or so miles.

No thanks, I don’t need an RFID or a national ID card for me.

“Bar­clays bought Lehman’s North Amer­i­can invest­ment bank­ing and trad­ing unit for $250m, and paid $1.5bn for its New York head­quar­ters and two data centres.”

” The cur­rent world record was set in 2002 at the same loca­tion with a speed of 129.6 km/h (81 mph) by Sam Whit­ting­ham in a custom-made recum­bent bike. A lot of advanced aero­space engi­neer­ing goes into these machines to reach high­way speeds on less than one horse­power.” That is cool.

Aid dol­lars are mis­spent “Too often aid arrived too late, was short-term, and poli­cies were tar­geted too heav­ily on sav­ing lives rather than build­ing resilience in the pop­u­la­tion, the report says.”

Snorts, haha, that’s funny.
