NewsForge has a review of the bootable business card, a Linux distribution that fits on a business card sized CD.
Bud Selig is the Jack Valenti of the sporting world – he’s the commissioner of Major League Baseball, and is utterly bent on alienating fans and destroying baseball. This man is so venal, and so stupid, and so incompetent that literally anyone reading this page could do his job better than he does. Never seen a baseball game before? You’re perfect. It’s that bad. Anyway, he did some sort of town hall meeting the other day on the Web, and Joe Sheehan rebuts his ridiculous utterings.
Paul Krugman reviews David Brock’s book on the vast right-wing conspiracy, Blinded by the Right today in his column, and manages to whine a bit more about his own persecution at the hands of Andrew Sullivan, without mentioning Sullivan by name.
Eric Alterman has a handy list of columnists broken down based on whether they support Israel or the Palestinians. It may be useful to people who are reading a column and don’t know where the author’s general bias lies, but I can’t say that any of the names on the list surprised me.
Yahoo played a dirty trick on its users recently by “resetting” all of their marketing preferences – in other words, turning them all on, regardless of what you had chosen earlier. An alert Slashdotter caught this, and submitted instructions for turning them off. I use Yahoo for a lot of things because it’s convenient and generally trouble free. I’d rather they just start billing me than surreptitiously setting me up to be bombarded with unsolicited commercial email.
