wednesday round-up

putin put the smackdown on michael dell today. funny stuff. (really long video here.)

google continues challenging microsoft to be more than just the status quo with offline email access.

since the house passed the stimulus bill, are we still gonna party at Obama’s tonight?

ted haggard was on oprah today. i’m not sure what he said, because i had my tv on mute because there are two things i can’t stand in this world: oprah and gay men who refuse to admit they’re gay. although, to be fair, i gotta give the man props for effort - dude has five kids. even without his gay gene, there’s still a one in twenty chance one of them will turn out gay. i’d be willing to bet, however, the actual odds are higher than that, all things considered.

carol bartz (new ceo of yahoo), is not so hot after all. now i wish they’d given the job to susan decker.

hotter than bartz...

people are pissed off that the blackberry storm isn’t delivering the goods promised by verizon.

putin didn’t stop with slamming dell; he also had some harsh criticism for the u.s., essentially blaming us for everything that’s wrong in the world today. heeyyyyy…blaming your problems on someone else??? putin, you’re becoming more american everyday! wtg!

the mail is in trouble. again. surprise.

the chief of police in Oakland has resigned. that’s where a cop killed a man (oscar grant) who was pinned face down on the ground at the time. still can’t find any current info on what’s going on with the prosecution of the cop that did it…

peace man is finally blogging again from gaza. glad he’s okay. i wish i could say the same about more of the people of gaza.
