  1. I'm glad we got who shot Hassan straight. NYT: do we really need the theatrical adjectives for this? Show some class. http://ow.ly/BHVC
  2. Megatons to Megawatts: Russian nukes power US homes?! http://ow.ly/B3JR
  3. An idea long overdue: road trains! http://ow.ly/AMps Totally brilliant!
  4. Plug vs. plug: plug-mediated nationalism. And this time, the US didn't win! http://ow.ly/zhu0 I love it.
  5. I hate to admit it, but one of my favorite and oft-used phrases is from Ronald Reagan(!?): http://ow.ly/uDCt
  6. “We cannot afford to be complacent.” Yes, that's right: 40 foot display walls will keep us safe. http://ow.ly/tdEd
  7. Verizon hints and killing landlines--will all digital communication go wireless? Doesn't sound too reliable to me... http://bit.ly/r1j3k
  8. Long overdue student loan reform: http://ow.ly/pP2A Why can Sallie Mae make 400% returns on zero-interest/no-risk loans taxpayers subsidize?
  9. @arainert Totally! The smartest thing Apple did was to recapture the (higher) education market with a UNIX-backed OS. Seriously brilliant.
  10. Underwriter's Laboratories Test Video! The takeaway? Turkey fryers are *not* safe. Shucks. http://ow.ly/oZ2j (Be sure to watch the B-roll!)
  11. Ohh, this is slick: transaction reordering so as to incur the most overdraft fees. Always a new trick. http://ow.ly/oSTa #cha_ching
  12. Big corp deathmatch number 2: agribusiness vs. insurance: http://ow.ly/oSPk Right on, Mr. Pollan. Totally agree with you here.
  13. RT: IBM and Procter & Gamble's 21st Century Workplaces http://bit.ly/11j75V (via @HarvardBiz)
  14. Big corp deathmatch: insurance vs. wall street on securitizing life insurance policies (all ages show!) http://ow.ly/ow7x (thanks @phy5ics)
  15. A really bad idea: http://ow.ly/o5R2 The philosopher quoted has a very narrow definition of "animal suffering." I vote "no" on this.
  16. Google patents its homepage: http://ow.ly/nUHy Can't wait to see how they enforce this to stifle competition.
  17. Are you a "Bohemian Mix" or in the "Winners Circle"? See who corporate demographers and mass mailers think you are: http://ow.ly/ntmy
  18. Never use FedEx Ground pickup service. It cost me $13 to pickup a *prepaid* item; I could have shipped it for that much myself! WTF FedEx?
  19. “History told me that you just keep working, and it is easy to make more money” McAfee lives in an upper-class bubble! http://bit.ly/923v5
  20. Brilliant! Hyperlocal brought to the level of individual buildings! http://stackd.biz/
