Where Are All the Blogs Going?

I’m stunned. I found out this week that more of my favorite blogs have been deleted from Entrecard (or left the community), and some are getting deleted for stupid things like their widgets not showing up in Internet Explorer. COME ON, this is a qualification for Entrecard?! Just about every blog will be intermittently deleted [...]

The Dodge Wimpy 2009

WHY do they make big cars with wimpy car horns, and little cars with beefy car horns? I think it’s unfair discrimination, and I propose staging a protest.

Tainted Baby Formula From China

This is just DESPICABLE. Dairy farmers in China have dumped toxic melamine into the milk to make the protein content appear higher. This is milk used for baby formula, for pete’s sake!
There was a HUGE hoo-hah over Chinese melamine dumped into pet food; has anyone heard about this poisoning of baby formula?
Thank God the [...]

Google: We’d Never Do That! Even Though It Said We Would

Here’s an update to yesterday’s post about Google’s Chrome browser. Read the first post to get you up to speed.
As of yesterday afternoon, Matt Cutts from Google is covering his butt is saying that there was an error when “copying and pasting” the terms for the EULA for Chrome. We didn’t mean to do it, [...]

Google’s Chrome: We Own You

OK, so maybe Google doesn’t exactly OWN you if you download their new browser, Chrome. But get this, taken from their terms of service if you download the browser:
