If you're wondering what the "sub-prime mortgage/lending crisis" in the US is all about (not to be confused with the "Optimus-Prime lending crisis" ha ha!), here's a nice BBC article that explains it (along with some graphs).

And for those of your with ADHD, here's a video that sums up our North American consumerist problems:

Apparently Stephen Harper is. Is it too late to turn this one around?

See this story about a delay in bringing in copyright reform legislation. Besides the obvious story of ACTRA being total asshats, does this suggest that a bunch of people joining a Facebook group actually had some impact on politicians? Man, I have to join me some groups.

Remember that time when a psudo-random bunch of people decided they knew more about nuclear safty than a bunch of experts IN nuclear safty? Really? Because it just happened today.

I can only imagine the type of question and answer period the politicians had with the experts: "Will it blow up? Yes or no. No maybes, no buts, just yes or no." I mean, I've been in software discussions like this:
"Can we do it?"
"Well, maybe, but we probably shouldn't..."
"Just tell me if it will work or not."
"It might work some of the time, but I don't recommend it."
"Great, so it will work for everyone all the time. We'll do it. Let the customers know we fixed it."
I can only assume they were grilled in the same binary way (no pun intended) and the answers were misinterpreted or misconstrued.

Looks like 200lbs Gorilla Rogers has gotten the negative attention of 600lbs Gorilla Google...hopefully this results in a win for consumers. Failure to stop this data tampering now will result in content publishers (like Google, E-Filler, etc.) encrypting all their traffic (thus rendering it tamper proof).

This movie is shaping up to be hilarious. This scene is priceless.


... kinda reminds me of the D.A.R.E program.
