Would be good to be more transparent on costs of things, but also agree we don't necessarily want our food supply being outsourced and held hostage some day in the future. For now and the future, "buy local" seems the best policy.

"Every 30 minutes, Google Chrome downloads a list of 32-bit url hashes of urls thought to be dangerous (malware or phishing). That is a download of data from google.com, not to google.com. As you surf around the web, if you happen to hit a url whose hash is in the dangerous list, the 32-bit hash is sent to Google and Google replies with a full 256-bit hash of the dangerous url in question. Not only does this happen very rarely, but Google Chrome doesn’t send a url to Google, it sends a url hash, so Google doesn’t learn the url from this exchange. By the way, this is essentially the same protocol that Firefox 3 uses to protect its users from malware/phishing urls as well."

"Actually, if I know beat writers -- and the Doc has known a few, and pretended to be one his own self in college -- I'd say their fantasies are more like scoring a decent spread of barbecue in a press box overlooking a rainy beach volleyball match."

Nice iPhone app. Didn't think it possible to do something this intense using an iPhone app. Up to this point they all looked like toys.

Can be made for almost any election, any candidate. Maybe make one with whiteboard material so you can write in the year and candidate's name. Never goes out of date.

Sounds like company focused on creating and keeping a good corporate culture as well as treating employees with respect. Not a complete formula for success, but a damn good starting point for Zappos.
