Daily Kos: NBC: We skipped terror tribute because it wasn’t “tailored for the U.S. audience”.
Are they going to skip events where the USA doesn’t win then too?

The upgrade – what I forgot
I always do a Clean install and sometimes I forget stuff.
All my Chrome bookmarks. This matters because I ‘work’ in Chrome and use Firefox for everything else. So I lost every single work related bookmark. Some matter less, some matter more as they were custom searches.
A recent Voodoopad document I had started. This too was full of work information but it had been pulled from sources I still have so it’s not a complete loss. I had not got round to dropboxing it.
Notational Velocity data. I thought it was dropboxed.
My Sublime Text 2 User settings.
The Hit List database so I lost my list of what I do daily. I thought it was dropboxed.
I did not take a screenshot of the menubar which would have been useful. Nor did I take a screenshot of System Preferences which would also have been handy. I did however take screenshots of the Applications directory.
The above are now all dropboxed.
But it’s only data.
Huw Edwards
The Olympics ceremony could have been so much better if there had been not a single word from anyone and if it hadn’t ended up with a Beatles track from decades ago, especially after introducing millions to the greatness that is Dark Side of the Moon. Still, at least it’s done. TFFT.
I agree with Clarkson.
Crazy fast Portal speedrun
Worth a watch – right to the very end.
Another theme rant
A blog has 1 user. Just one. If any theme ever displayed “Posted by” anywhere on any post or any page then that theme has failed. Why is this so difficult for theme authors to grasp? I should not need to make a child theme to remove something that should never have been there in the first place.
Cash for a cartridge
Now that is expensive. How I Got Nintendo Powerfest 94.
Mozilla + Google
Mozilla has rolled out Firefox 14, which automatically encrypts web searches through Google, but the new release leaves an important back door open to advertisers.
The Register.
DuckDuckGo is what you need.
Google knows where it is
Copyright holders are responding to this effort with a comical display of meta-censorship, in which Google is asked to remove links to takedown requests, because these link to sites that link to copyrighted material.
TorrentFreak.
Apple want even more data
Seen on an iTunes app page at apple.com
Become a fan of the iTunes and App Store pages on Facebook for exclusive offers, the inside scoop on new apps and more.
Seriously? There will be nothing they will have on the FB pages that can by any stretch of any imagination be called “exclusive”. And “inside scoop”? On what? How are people believing this? Are they all mad?
