“The chances that you can top a trusted provider on the very thing the provider is trusted for are slim indeed. Instead, you gain con­verts by win­ning at some­thing the exist­ing provider didn’t think was so important.”

“As a non-Bible believ­ing amoral god­less athe­ist, my first thought was that this is triv­ial: you lie your pants off. The ‘crime’ of telling a lie pales into insignif­i­cance against the crime of enabling the death of fel­low human beings. Accord­ing to Bodie Hodge of AiG, though, I’m wrong. The good Chris­t­ian should reject lies, Satan’s tools, in all cir­cum­stances, and should imme­di­ately ‘fess up the loca­tion of the Jews. He backs it up with Bible quotes, too.”

“US chip maker Intel has agreed to pay rival AMD $1.25bn as part of a deal to set­tle all out­stand­ing legal dis­putes between the two com­pa­nies. The two firms said the set­tle­ment cov­ered all anti-trust lit­i­ga­tion and patent dis­putes. “While the rela­tion­ship between the two com­pa­nies has been dif­fi­cult in the past, this agree­ment ends the legal dis­putes,” the two firms said. AMD’s shares closed up 21% fol­low­ing the announcement.”

The last one is the best one, Win­dows informs Win­dows that it has had an error and will shut itself down.

“Fed­eral pros­e­cu­tors in Man­hat­tan began legal action on Thurs­day to seize prop­er­ties in Queens and across the coun­try where sev­eral mosques are located in a broad move against a non­profit orga­ni­za­tion that was accused of ille­gally pro­vid­ing money and other ser­vices to Iran.”

“So, should the Democ­rats be pan­ick­ing? Yeah, maybe a lit­tle. But the fun­da­men­tals — par­tic­u­larly the poor labor sit­u­a­tion and the Repub­li­can enthu­si­asm advan­tage — should be the rea­sons for their con­cern, rather than the results of any one par­tic­u­lar poll.”

“Thou­sands of Xbox 360 own­ers who have been cut off from Microsoft’s Xbox Live ser­vice will have to buy a new con­sole if they want to play online again.”

“Verizon’s cell­phones are designed in such a way that you can almost never avoid get­ting $1.99 charge on the bill for its mobile Web ser­vices, even if you imme­di­ately can­cel the action.”

“Which, granted, these clips did belong to Fox, and they were well in their rights to have them taken down, as spec­i­fied by the Dig­i­tal Mil­len­nium Copy­right Act. So how do we know this is a politically-motivated move by Fox to hin­der the lib­eral blogosphere’s abil­ity to make fun of them? Because plenty of Fox News clips are still avail­able on YouTube—only on conservative-leaning chan­nels: GlennBeck­Dai­ly­Clips, for exam­ple has more than 630 clips of, well, the Glenn Beck Pro­gram. And Con­ser­v­a­tive­Na­tion has 186 stomach-churning videos from the whole spec­trum of qual­ity Fox News pro­gram­ing. Also: Duh, Fox News would totally do some­thing like this.”

“So God invented porn, right?”

What hap­pens to your But­ter­fly tat­too after 50 years.

“A cha­grined GOP Chair­man Michael Steele has told Repub­li­can National Com­mit­tee staff to imme­di­ately stop pro­vid­ing RNC employ­ees with insur­ance for elec­tive abor­tions — an option that Repub­li­cans strongly oppose as Democ­rats try to pass a health care over­haul bill.” The RNC has decided you don’t get to choose, they choose for you.
