Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Marine Survives Two Tours in Iraq, SWAT Kills Him<\/a> – But remember, it’s now okay for the police to barge in anywhere, without a warrent, if they think there’s some reason they should. You can argue about it with them in court. Because, of course, you can trust any group armed with the power of the state (and automatic weapons) to be unaccountable.<\/li>\n
  2. Android Data Vulnerability: How to Protect Yourself [Security]<\/a> – Not getting all panicky about this (I don’t link to a lot of free public WiFi sites, and I try to be very careful about the ones I do link to), but I’m marking for reference.<\/li>\n
  3. Newt: Worst Campaign Promise Ever?<\/a> – Well, not the real thing, mind you, but the fairy tale spirit of it!<\/li>\n
  4. Fake USB Cable? Check. Hilarity? Guaranteed!<\/a> – I want.<\/li>\n
  5. Chicago water boss: if we took the sewage out of the Chicago River, people might swim and drown!: Cory Doctorow<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Man Convicted Of Running $100 Million Ponzi Scheme Sentenced To 10 Years<\/a> – And if he’d burglarized those people for that much, he’d be in jail forever.<\/li>\n
  7. Despite No Service, AT&T Refuses To Waive ETF<\/a> – Carriers suck. AT&T is not alone in that (though a noteworthy example).<\/li>\n
  8. Brands, This Is Not How You Do Twitter<\/a> – “And this is how your customers find out your Twitter feed is run by bots.”<\/li>\n
  9. Two Idiots Name Their Baby Girl “Like” After the Facebook Button [Rant]<\/a> – In the world of baby names, this is hardly the most idiotic. Indeed, it reminds me of some of the “virtue” names of a century or two ago.<\/li>\n
  10. Sources: Raiders knew mission a one-shot deal – Navy News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq – Navy Times<\/a> – Interesting added details on the Osama bin Laden operation.<\/li>\n
  11. These Are Last Four Humans Ever to Ride a Space Shuttle – Gizmodo<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. Fox will reboot ‘The Flintstones’<\/a> – I used to watch a lot of Flintstones back as a kid. With Seth MacFarlane at the helm, it could be pretty cool. Of course, I also expect that folks who look back fondly on its “Honeymooners” style family dynamics will be shocked and angry over the whole thing. My only concern is that the last thing we need right now is a modern portrayal, even for yocks, of cave men and dinosaurs co-existing …<\/li>\n
  13. Hedge fund king John Paulson earns more per hour than most Americans in a lifetime\u2014and he pays a lower tax rate<\/a> – “You can buy a lot of Congressional thank-you for what he earns in a day. And a lot of reluctance-to-prosecute with the change.”<\/li>\n
  14. Walker seeks to stop defense of state’s domestic partner registry – JSOnline<\/a> – Much the same situation as the Obama DoJ and DOMA, so I’m not going to cry foul — except, of course, that in this case it’s acting in a way to explicitly hurt people in a hateful fashion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
