"The thousands of American contractors in Iraq who have been above Iraqi law since the war began are suddenly facing a new era in which their United States passports will no longer protect them from arrest and imprisonment." - Steven Perez via Bookmarklet

reminds me of that scene in "Apocalypse Now" where Col. Kilgore goes all misty-eyed and laments, "Some day this war's gonna end." - Karim

all 'good' things must come to an end - Ian May

Even at $135 the price is expensive for $120 GB. - Alan Le

Alex, you make a great point about the ability to copy games to the HD. I forgot about that feature. - Alan Le

I'm tempted. I wiped out just about all the content on my 20GB awaiting the NXE. After copying Rock Band 2, downloading the free 20 tracks, importing Rock Band 1 songs, and downloading additional songs, I have only about 3-4 GB's left now. - Rodfather

I admire your high class. - Carmen

Hah! Sounds like an awesome night - ♫ Rahsheen™

Also ate Pilsbury Buffalo Chicken Bites. *oink* *snort* *oink* - Jason Huebel

I love those illustrations! - Rochelle

Good riddance to bad rubbish... - Zee.

Pownce was acquired for the talent. Personally, I never got Pownce, but I am sorry to see it go. People that were using it (and liked it) are left out in the cold all of a sudden. - Ryan Twomey

I think it was pretty clear once co founder kevin rose started advertising his twitter account instead of his pownce account that the end was near. - Aaron D'Amico

Farewell... - Michael Forian

"In an interview with the conservative online publication Newsmax, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the GOP must broaden its appeal to avoid becoming “the old white-guy party,” and recommended that Republicans create a “shadow government” to work on its own agenda. Claiming this is still a “center-right country,” Bush urged Republicans not to move towards a “Democratic-lite” agenda." - Steven Perez via Bookmarklet

running a shadow govt, why does that sound so ominious & illegal? - Ruth Ferguson

"shadow government" isn't particularly sinister (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...) -- but at this point it seems like picking out new drapes after your house has burnt down. hello, priorities? Jeb Bush seems at least somewhat clued in -- he says the GOP can't be "the old white guy party," which echoes something I said recently, and he wants to move the party towards "loftier debate" rather than partisanship, which I take to mean intellectuals will be allowed to be Republicans again :-D - Karim

but I did not see a lot of substantive ideas, or reaching out to minorities, so at this point it just sounds like a whole lot of them saying they need a new hairstyle. - Karim

Congratulations! - Paul Buchheit

Congrats, Daddy!!! =) Enjoy every minute! - Alisha

"Fresh berries hanging from a branch are some of summer's most anticipated gifts. Now is the time of year when these naturally sweet, tasty treats are available in plenty, but you can enjoy them in frozen varieties year-round. So go ahead and indulge in all that berries have to offer--a sweet, juicy taste reminiscent of long summer days, an easy addition to snacks and meals, and, best of all, incredible health benefits for you and your family. Here are fifteen of the healthiest ... and tastiest." - Jill, Superhero Librarian via Bookmarklet

Berries are awesome. I have blueberries almost every morning. - Logical Extremes

Love berries. I wish they were in season year around. - Derrick

The local New Leaf market near my work sells Goji berries. $20/lb though. - Rodfather

How fucking sad that Pownce had a clear way to make money, and is shutting down, Twitter, which has ridden the ebb and flow of reliability (and has no freaking clue how to make money), lives on. Just throw your biz plan in the trash, this is the world in which we live. - Eric Rice via Bookmarklet
