BBC NEWS | Technology | Apple addresses iTunes concerns

And again, witness the power of blogs.

Apple, I think generally, are great. Not quite great like google, who I'm certain are actually plotting world domination, turning us all into GoogleBorg, or something, but Apple's still pretty great.

I wish I had more to add to the IP and privacy and etc. debate, but alas and alack... I'm just happy there are others out there doing good work.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Dead whale left outside embassy

I'm in love with this kind of pranksterism/ demonstration/ what have you.

As opposed to trying to suicidally directly oppose the Japanese whalers, this actually makes a point, and anyone calling Greenpeace stupid for this stunt is obviously just... well, retarded themselves, to be blunt.

Now, can we get a pile of dead US soldiers and Iraqi civilians to dump on the White House lawn?

I just sold a copy of Same Difference to a sweaty fanboy who came in looking for a Green Lantern trade we didn't have in stock. Not only did I accomplish my goal of selling it within a week (1.5 days on the shelf, to be exact), I sold it to someone looking for superheroes. Go ahead, worship me.
