AT&T Spouts Off Some More Bullshit →
parislemon:
Reports Brian X. Chen for The New York Times:
Mr. Siegel said that even if you do exceed 2 gigabytes of data usage and qualify as one of the top 5 percent, that doesn’t absolutely mean you’re going to be throttled. AT&T will only reduce speeds for the top 5 percent of users in areas where network capacity or spectrum is insufficient, he said.

MythBuster Adam Savage: SOPA Could Destroy the... →
No myth- our elected representatives in Congress are about to do an extremely unpatriotic, unconstitutional, un-American action. These actions, by giving the Federal Government the ability of shutting down entire websites and services (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google, just to name a few) are bypassing the rights guaranteed all American citizens by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Chief...

Just had some thoughts/observations/questions about the Steve Jobs biography due for release on October 24th:
How ironic (or will it be) that most likely the number of digitally downloaded copies of the book to Amazon’s Kindle will most likely exceed the number downloaded to iBooks (on iPad, iPhone or iPod?)

How To Fix Congress: The American Way
Below is, what seems to me, a logical, well thought plan of action to fix what is wrong with Congress. It is not meant to change the political landscape or ideology, it is meant to reinforce that Congress is not above us. It’s a little smack in the face to bring them back to reality. It upholds the very tenant of how government was established in this great country of ours: Of the People,...

localmindblog:
There has been talk lately about 2011 being the year check-ins died. Haven’t we proven that “X is dead” articles mean that X is actually far from dead? As Dave Obasanjo put it, “You’ll know when RSS is dead when no one bothers writing ‘RSS is dead’ articles anymore.” The argument that…
