In the 2000's, we had a president from Texas who's international crime fighting policy was basically this: 1. Offer bounties to people living in poverty who are willing to turn in other 3rd world living humans in exchange for cash. 2. Torture the captives to find out if they actually know anything. 3. ...Tags: living turn rd willing povertyhttp://www.thedeets.com/2007/12/31/self-inflicted-waterboarding-experiment/ Gene Lee says goodbye- December 29, 2007 Anyone who spent time in Chicago's Wicker Park last year probably ran into Gene Lee the dancing Asian guy. Insert odd or questionable fashion sense at your leisure. Sadly, Gene recently passed away. Gene was important because he represented an increasingly elusive burst of color and character. As our cities homogenize, our street corners fill with banks, and our old buildings are replaced by cookie cutter replicas of the uninspired cinderblock box next door, we're reminded that it's the..http://www.37signals.com/svn/posts/754-gene-lee-says-goodbye New Tesla CEO takes it upon himself to explain Roadster delays- December 29, 2007 Filed under: TransportationWe've already had a pretty good idea of the reasons for delays with Tesla Motors' all-electric Roadster vehicle, but it looks like the company's new CEO, Ze'ev Drori, is now trying to set the record straight himself, with him recently posting a fairly lengthy letter addressing the matter on the company's blog. That letter is apparently the very same one that was sent to buyers of the car earlier this month and, as you might have guessed if you've been following this...http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/207787560/ Boy killed by texting driver- December 28, 2007 Filed under: Cellphones, TransportationAccording to a report from the Boston Globe, a man claims that he was typing a text message into his cellphone when he lost control of his SUV and fatally struck a 13-year-old boy on a bicycle. In a stark and sad reminder of the cause for recent laws put into effect governing texting phoning while driving, it appears the man was so distracted that he didn't even realize what had happened until later that night. Ironically, the friend of the boy who had...http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/207644872/ The Economics of TV Advertising- December 27, 2007 Holly Sanders has found a TV paradox: as ratings fall, ad rates rise. Specifically, ad rates in both the fourth quarter and the first quarter are running 18% above their previous-year levels, even as ratings are 14% lower than they were a year ago. Sanders explains: Although it seems counterintuitive, it's the law of supply and demand. As the TV audience shrinks, advertisers have to buy more ads to reach their target number of viewers. But that increased demand for ad slots creates scarcity,..http://feeds.portfolio.com/~r/portfolio/marketmovers/~3/206677145/the-economics-of-tv-adve...

The database will be used to create a big brother state, in which you will ultimately have little autonomy assist the FBI's efforts in catching the bad guys. Apparently, compilation of digital images, including mug shots, fingerprints and palm patterns have already begun. The FBI is expected to step-up the initiative in January 2008, when it will award a 10-year contract to a company that will assist with the...http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/204971996/fbis-1-billion-biometric-database-wil... I need your help!- December 21, 2007 We moved to California in July. We moved into a new house, and of all the things that have been a challenge with this move, one was particularly unexpected: getting our mail. We've entered a wormhole, one in which mail never predictably gets to us. It's not our old post office in Naperville they're ...Tags: mail moved wormhole entered predictablyhttp://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/tins/~3/203549313/i-need-your-help.php Internet TV: 2007 Year in Review- December 20, 2007 From YouTube's continued dominance, the television networks' newfound willingness to experiment online, the rise of the desktop Internet TV application, and a number of new PC-to-TV devices and set-top boxes it's been a big year for Internet TV in all shapes and forms.
