  1. Coming into Town with the Giggling<\/a> – Why does Sprigg think it “odd for people to define ‘who they are’ on the basis of their preferred sexual conduct” when Sprigg is more than willing to discriminate against them “on the basis of their preferred sexual conduct”?<\/li>\n
  2. Twitter Website Hacked, User Accounts Filled With Spam: Tech News \u00ab<\/a> – Hmmm. Another good reason to use a separate client.<\/li>\n
  3. Supermarine Spitfire Mk XVI NR.jpg [POTD for September 18 from commons.wikimedia.org]<\/a> – The Spitfire was one of the prettiest warplanes ever.<\/li>\n
  4. Michael Jackson MMO ‘Planet Michael’ Announced<\/a> – I cannot believe that there would be enough interest to support this game, even if it’s a faboo gaming experience.<\/li>\n
  5. Official Etch A Sketch case makes iPad even more attractive to your kids<\/a> – Okay, this would almost be enough for me to get an iPad.<\/li>\n
  6. PricewaterhouseCoopersWasALongName<\/a> – As customers of the firm, we always used the abbreviation anyway.<\/li>\n
  7. Re: Froyo forces V Cast on you – DROID INCREDIBLE by HTC (Verizon) – Android Forums – HTC Community<\/a> – This was a really annoying “feature” Verizon tried to force on my phone. This fix appears to resolve it. Huzzah!<\/li>\n
  8. Catherine Devlin: The all-seeing milk carton<\/a> – This sounds like a remarkably clever idea.<\/li>\n
  9. Y5 Battery Saver Keeps Wi-Fi On Only Near Trusted Spots [Downloads]<\/a> – Checking this one out.<\/li>\n
  10. Why Haven’t Broadband Prices Dropped?<\/a> – Um, duh. No competition means no incentive to decrease margin.<\/li>\n
  11. Best Buy Repairs Laptop With Fried Motherboard By Replacing Hard Drive, Removing Operating System<\/a> – Wow. More reason not to buy computers (or anything else you expect to get serviced or supported) from Best Buy.<\/li>\n
  12. Benjamin Franklin, the first IP pirate?<\/a> – Needless to say, he was also a great believer in sharing of quotes (the majority of which he “borrowed” himself).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
