Google buys YouTube. Is a buyout an admission that Google Video got their asses kicked in? Not sure about the price, but it makes some sense. No media company is going to touch YouTube with a ten foot pole and the biggest cost for YouTube is bandwidth, which Google has gobs of. Does this mean […]
Someone is putting together a photographic height and weight chart. The UI is really bad, but the idea is stellar.

“This is about honest government. This is about preserving our civil liberties. This is about separation of church and state. This is about competence. Anyone that doesn’t have grave doubts about this administration after these past six years is not interested in anything but power. This is a defining moment in American history. Which way […]
