Does it really matter? FISA will scrape it all anyway.

All of this news of Apple becoming the next evil corporation really pushes me away from buying a Macbook for college in the fall. However, it makes a Product (red) Dell with Ubuntu look even better...

I turned the feature on, then realized I need more than a handful of personal emails (not newsletters) to actually justify its use.

I have a similar problem. I had this brilliant idea that I would keep a collection of my thoughts in a Moleskine notebook. I bought the standard pocket size notebook and a pen set.
To make a long and boring story short, I wasted $15 on the notebook because I've yet to use it for something other than collecting dust. I'm just not a pen and paper type of person.

In the situation of the financial sector's bailout, some had speculated it would have been better to have not done anything. It would leave us more money to allocate and loan (not give) the companies which employee the average American worker who doesn't live bonus to bonus.
As for nationalization, it should start at the Federal Reserve which is as much Federal as Federal Express. What a screwed up system we have where our government is forever in debt while we use The Federal Reserve Note as our currency.

Facebook ads have always been relevant to me. Just this weekend, I was browsing profiles on Facebook, and the ads were all, "DO YOU NEED A GIRLFRIEND?"
Totally targeted.

If I remember correctly, the Swedish government nationalized their financial system in a way to ease the pain from the credit crunch, and it worked out well.
The main argument against these series of bailouts would be that it creates inflation of the currency. Of course, this is only be thought of now when we're attempt to fix infrastructure across the nation, or saving the jobs of workers, instead of bailing out banking systems too large to fail.
American businesses are operating at an unlevel field, partially because the criminalization of vertical integration (the Japanese do this for their automotives), compared to other nations in the world.

I'm wondering if the ocean version of Google Earth will include a submarine simulator in the way that regular Google Earth had an airplane simulator.
