Cops Caught Stealing Protestors’ Cameras

Information Salad Episode 25 is Live!

It’s our New Year’s special! On the cusp of the New Year, I was feeling like crap and chatty at the same time. You won’t want to miss me struggling through a practically lost voice on this one.

Get to work, bitches…

I love stories like this. You would think they were written by some 1950’s doctor who was trying to recapture his paternally dominant household:

Women who exercise by doing the housework can reduce their risk of breast cancer, a study suggests.

The research on more than 200,000 women from nine European countries found doing household chores [...]

A crack in the dam?

Wow… Are we finally going to see a true move toward net neutrality? Could it be that we’re finally going to have telecoms committing to not selling bandwidth to the highest bidder?

Could it be?

AT&T has apparently offered an olive branch to the Net Neutrality crowd in its quest to merge with BellSouth. [...]

Common Sense (a true rarity)

Jeff over at Boonville Blog is a common-sense kinda guy. Check out this from his blog:

Last Friday, after a string of emails, a coworker indicated that they would be out until well after the new year. They signed off with “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”. Seeing this, I responded with a “Happy Holidays” [...]

Users Lose Gmail; Gmail Is Sorry

Hope you aren’t relying on Gmail for too much… Apparently a few users lost all e-mails prior to December 18th. Lest you think I’m kidding, read the letter Google sent to GigaOm:

Regretfully, a small number of our users — around 60 — lost some or all of their email received prior to December [...]

SHUT UP! PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!

Frigging Dave Whiner is at it again…

Disclosure: I was not offered and have not received a Ferrari laptop with Vista installed. How does it feel? Shitty. I wonder if Microsoft has considered the cost of ill-will they create among people whose opinions they don’t consider important. I know, damned if you do if, damned if [...]

Government may not need warrant to search your email

No warrant? No problem. Not that this surprises me anymore, but that doesn’t make it right.

Quote of the day…

In the news today, the FDA is poised to approve food from cloned animals. Apparently eating clones makes some people uncomfortable. Their thinking goes like this:

“I sure enjoy eating Bob the cow, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating Bob the other cow.”

Well, there’s your problem…

The headline reads “Child’s New Computer Full of Porn.” It wasn’t full of porn, it just happened to open up to a porn website. Farbeit from the news to not be dramatic.

“On Christmas Day we set it up, hit Internet Explorer and the first thing to pop up was a porn site,” Rick [...]

Mike Arrington: No Scandal Here…

So Microsoft has been giving out high-end Acer Ferrari laptops to prominent bloggers and loading them up with Vista in the hopes that they’ll blog about their experiences. Mike Arrington thinks that the negative press that the viral marketing scheme has received is a bit overblown, and I tend to agree with him.

AllofMP3.com Responds to RIAA Lawsuit

AllofMP3 is very nonplussed by the RIAA threats its facing and has informed the RIAA that they can file suits until they’re blue in the face, but since they’re in Russia they’re all meaningless. Good. It’s about time someone stood up to those scumbags at the RIAA and the hypocrites at the record [...]

Boing Boing: Treasure Chests book from 1967
I wouldn’t normally post something that’s NSFW, but it does have some serious artistic merit. When you consider this was done in 1967, pre-Photoshop, it’s all the more amazing.
