Really cool video, really informative.

I wouldn’t nor­mally say this but, Glen Beck you are a real class act and I mean that in the worst pos­si­ble way. I’ll prob­a­bly live to regret putting that online but you know what, he really both­ers me.

No one has ever claimed the world is going to end because of global warm­ing, just make it really hard for humans to live on it.

“Var­i­ous sur­veys con­firm that the rate of con­ver­sion of service/ product-enquirers into loyal cus­tomers is almost triple the con­ver­sion rate achieved by email sup­port, accord­ing to the pro­fes­sional live chat agents of livechatagent.com ” Cer­tainly makes sense.

Neat Skype on iPhone, iPod Touch and BlackBerrys.

“In the last cou­ple of years, the tele­vi­sion indus­try has made a big push onto the Web, giv­ing view­ers hope that they might one day reach nir­vana: every show ever made, avail­able online for imme­di­ate free view­ing. But many in the indus­try are now ques­tion­ing whether free is a sus­tain­able model. And some are try­ing to make sure peo­ple have a rea­son to keep pay­ing hefty cable bills.” Do that and I’m back to steal­ing your programs.

“Google’s Python engi­neers have launched a new project called Unladen Swal­low that seeks to improve the per­for­mance of the Python pro­gram­ming lan­guage. One of the project’s goals is to replace the Python vir­tual machine with an LLVM-based JIT.” Wow, that would be cool.

“Russ­ian Pres­i­dent Dmitry Medvedev says life in Chech­nya is return­ing to nor­mal and it might be time to end the secu­rity restric­tions imposed there.” After 10 years Chech­nya might be an actual place to live.

This is one dri­ven and smart man.

“Prime Min­is­ter Gor­don Brown has been accused by a think tank of fail­ing to har­ness his eco­nomic stim­u­lus for the ben­e­fit of the envi­ron­ment.” Be nice to hear that sort of com­plaint gain trac­tion in the US.

“Most food man­u­fac­tur­ers and dis­trib­u­tors can­not iden­tify the sup­pli­ers or recip­i­ents of their prod­ucts despite fed­eral rules that require them to do so, fed­eral health inves­ti­ga­tors have found.” Umm that’s not good.

I think the point at which schools need to pay for sup­plies with adver­tis­ing we need some money in this school district.

“Habi­tat destruc­tion, pol­lu­tion and other prob­lems have left nearly a third of the nation’s 800 bird species endan­gered, threat­ened or in seri­ous decline” Umm, not so good.

“In recent days three top Amer­i­can gen­er­als have turned their guns on Pak­istan, accus­ing ele­ments of its main intel­li­gence agency, the ISI, of sup­port­ing Tal­iban and al-Qaeda mil­i­tants. ” Very pub­lic com­ments by some of America’s top military.

“Defense Sec­re­tary Robert Gates says that he thinks eco­nomic penal­ties rather than diplo­macy are more likely to bring suc­cess to U.S. efforts on Iran.”

“Afghanistan’s Supreme Court has ruled Pres­i­dent Hamid Karzai may stay in office until a new leader is elected later this year.” Even though if Afghanistan was to fol­low their con­sti­tu­tion he would be out on May 21.

Get you p2p on in Facebook.

“Sum­mary: NBC’s David Gre­gory falsely equated March 13 com­ments by Pres­i­dent Obama with Sen. John McCain’s Sep­tem­ber 2008 com­ment that the “fun­da­men­tals of our econ­omy are strong.” In fact, Obama did not com­ment on the broad “fun­da­men­tals” of the econ­omy in his March 13 remarks” Really how hard is it to remem­ber who said that phrase?

Tak­ing on Apache re-writes.

“The chair­man and chief exec­u­tive of Gen­eral Motors, Rick Wag­oner, is resign­ing, just hours before Pres­i­dent Obama was expected to unveil his res­cue plans for G.M. and the ail­ing Amer­i­can auto indus­try, a per­son close to the deci­sion said Sun­day.” Bye, bye.

“Sum­mary: In a Los Ange­les Times op-ed, Andrew Kla­van claimed he’s “never heard” Rush Lim­baugh “utter a sin­gle racist, hate­ful or stu­pid word,” and offered a “[c]hallenge” to “lib­er­als” to “[l]isten to the show … and keep an open mind.” How­ever, Media Mat­ters lis­tens to Lim­baugh every­day and has doc­u­mented numer­ous exam­ples of him spew­ing offen­sive com­men­tary and basic mis­state­ments of fact.” So still think that do you Klavan?

“The Huff­in­g­ton Post said Sun­day that it will bankroll a group of inves­tiga­tive jour­nal­ists, direct­ing them at first to look at sto­ries about the nation’s econ­omy.” Blog­ging just broke out into inves­tiga­tive journalism.

Some­times a lay­off can get you work­ing on your own business.

“This is the most strik­ing pic­ture I’ve come up with. It shows dis­count rates in the US, Britain, and Ger­many in the late 20s and early 30s, and high­lights the way attempts to defend the gold stan­dard led to per­verse mon­e­tary poli­cies at what was arguably a cru­cial moment.”

“US Pres­i­dent Barack Obama has said he will con­sult Pakistan’s lead­ers before tar­get­ing mil­i­tants in that coun­try. But Mr Obama ruled out deploy­ing US ground troops inside Pak­istan.” That’s a pol­icy shift.

“In other words, if this works out, it’ll be an incred­i­ble med­ical break­through. But that’s what med­ical sci­ence does: it keeps mov­ing along, doing the needed research, find­ing the way med­ical prob­lems actu­ally occur, and then seek­ing out solu­tions. it doesn’t always work, but it learns from its mis­takes. And the next thing you know, small­pox is gone. Polio is gone. Ignore it, or worse, fight it, and measles crops back up and starts killing kids.” Wow, that’s just amazing.

“US Defence Sec­re­tary Robert Gates says North Korea is likely to launch a rocket soon, and Wash­ing­ton would not attempt to stop it.” Makes sense.

Have I men­tioned how cool this site is?
