| I had the (dubious) pleasure of trying to get things done using 5 different computer operating systems: Windows XP, Windows 7, Mac OS X, Crunchbang Linux, and Google Chrome OS. The latter is a very early pre-release version that I'm running as a virtual machine on my Windows XP laptop.

| When I was a young person, my mom used to lecture me about the "appearance of evil". She was trying to tell me that if I was seen in a suspicious situation, people would jump to conclusions, even if I was innocent. (Like this guy, for example.)
The CBC has a story that would make my mom say, "Uh-huh ... told you so." A young woman from Montreal is out on disability from her job at IBM, suffering from depression. Her benefits have been cut off by her insurance...

| Microsoft has offered to pay News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal, and other publishers to block their content from Google. This is an effort to make Google cough up cash for news content as well, thus reducing its profit margins. And it also fits nicely with Rupert Murdoch's world-view, to boot.
