Some Hippy Liberal types from Colorado have something to say about Arizona's new illegal immigration law. They just won't let their people travel to Arizona.
"We do not want to subject our staff to the potential of being stopped in Arizona based on their appearance - and the assumption that they may or may not be an illegal immigrant," said Patrick von Keyserling, city of Boulder communication manager.

That's such a knee-jerk liberal hippie thing to do.
Steve Jobs was right that Flash is dead, or terminally ill. Another big web outfit, ScribeD, seems to share the same sentiment.
Scribd is joining a chorus of companies from Apple to Microsoft in siding with HTML5 over Flash. Tomorrow only 200,000 of the most popular documents will be available in HTML5, but eventually all of them will be switched over. When it’s done, Scribd alone will convert billions of document pages into Web pages.

This is such a good thing, that HTML5 is coming along. The days of flash are over. It's bloated and makes slow processors strain. I am very glad that Flash will be a thing of the past in a few years.
Remember the thing we feared most in the 80's - no, not the nuclear war - The hole in the ozone layer.
Remember how that hole in the ozone layer was getting bigger and bigger by the minute and we were all going to die? Yeah, well, the hole isn't getting bigger anymore thanks to laws and stuff that ban aerosol cans.
But guess what. - We're still going to die - as a result of efforts to shrink the ozone layer hole.
Interestingly, recent studies have shown that the size of the ozone hole affects the global temperature. Closing the ozone hole actually speeds up the melting of the polar ice caps, according to a 2009 study from Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.
So yes, we fixed the problem that we were told was going to kill us. And now, because we fixed that problem, we're still going to die anyways.
