Airbag interviews Kottke
This one is a bit more sarcastic.

Newsweek interviews Kottke
25,000 hits a day. I know Jason doesn't want to put ads on his site, but he could really make a killing with AdSense with that kind of traffic.

It's just an uglier, more bloated version of Firefox.

Apple wins suit against fan sites
That's freaking retarded. I'm sure it'll get appealed, but a moron judge ruled today that the protection that shields journalists from revealing the names of unidentified sources does not apply to websites.
How does that make any sense whatsoever? I don't know.

Future iPods could have triple the battery life
Looks like maybe I should keep waiting before I trade in my current iPod mini. The new chipset that could be in them by Christmas could allow for up to a 54-hour battery life.
Update: Whoops, looks like the new mini's already use the new chipset. Which is why they get eighteen hours out the battery instead of the eight mine does.

PCMag reviews Flickr
They sure seem to have gotten a lot of stuff wrong in their review.
They get the add contacts/friends/family stuff wrong and I don't think I've never seen an ad on the site. I just spent 10 minutes actively looking and couldn't find a one.

Rick Barnes leaving for UVA??
There's been a lot of rumors over on Orangebloods about Rick Barnes' future at Texas in the last couple of days. Frustrations about the lack of commitment to the program from the athletic department and the desire to be back home in the ACC are possible reasons.
Personally I hope the rumors are just that, I think Barnes has started something special at Texas and would like to see him finish it. Maybe he's just leveraging leaving to get DeLoss Dodds to final make the changes to the Erwin Center seating and get the rowdy student section closer to the action.

Reel Life: Friday Night Lights
Not a new article by any means, but I saw it last night and thought it was good enough to post anyways. I read Friday Night Lights twice when I was younger, but that was a long time ago so it was nice to see a good comparison between the book and the movie. I remembered the Boobie Miles info and that the team didn't really make the finals but a lot of the other stuff wasn't so obvious.

Schuerholz confronted steroids
Other than the current ownership, I just love the Braves organization. John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox are two men I'd trust to make any team successful. Neither one gets the credit they deserve.

Windows Media Player A Security Threat
I got my ass kicked by a virus/spyware smorgasboard when Windows Media Player 10 tried to acquire a license for a music file. Installed all sorts of fun stuff that even after weeks worth of running spyware cleaners and Norton Anti-Virus was still lingering. I eventually had to reformat and reinstall.

The NY Times fumbles Bluesnarfing at the Oscars
Well the New York Times just sorta made stuff up and ignore 80% of the facts to write this article. Nice work.
Pretty easy to see why the mainstream media is so fearful of bloggers, they make it pretty obvious when a story is made-up, half-assed, and unresearched.

Braves finalize contract extension for Hudson
The one reason I was a little weary of this trade originally was the Braves' willingness to put up the money it would take to resign him. Looks like they made it work and worked out an extension. Add three more guaranteed years to this season, at an average salary of about $11 million.

Segway GT (Golf Transporter)
It's a Segway to use at the golf course, complete with golf bag carrier. I see old men falling off these things and breaking a hip immediately.
They could actually speed up play of the people who knew how to drive them, since they're single person vehicles you don't have to wander all over the place because you both suck at golf.
