- Great Jon Stewart video where he TOTALLY SMASHDUNKS the bloggers.
- The internet allows Saudi women to actually feel like they can be heard.
- How's this for a headline: 'Gay, Mentally Challenged Biracial Male Cheerleader Claims Discrimination'.
- And spotted, someone who actually thinks the iPad is awesome! Some quotes

Like on the iPhone, all programs take up the entire screen, commanding constant attention. This has some advantages over the traditional PC, especially in ease of use.

And on the lack of Flash compatibility:

We saw a clear example of this during Job's demo: When he loaded up the New York Times' home page, the middle of the screen was blank. On an ordinary computer you would have seen a video there—but Apple has decided not to include Adobe's Flash plug-in in the iPad, which means that most online videos won't work. If video sites want in on the iPad, they'll have to play by Apple's rules: You can watch YouTube videos through a built-in app, and I bet that other online video companies are jumping to make compatible apps or sites. I'm looking at you, Hulu!

Jumping! You hear that? Jumping to make compatible apps! Because when Apple says "jump", everyone says "How high, and would you like me to suck your boots clean while I'm at it?" To which Apple waits two weeks to respond and then says "Yes, but you took too long so we've decided not to allow your application for boot-sucking."
