The most shocking part of the graphic is the fact that Obama got less than 10% of the white male vote in Alabama and Mississippi. I guess it's proof the "Solid South" never went away, it just switched parties and was masked by letting non-whites vote.

3500 dollar bikes! The Google bikes are about $80 (and these are fancier than the old ones). I'm not sure I believe that cost number, but even at $350 they are probably expensive. And of course there's massive repair costs even without vandalism. I have no idea who came up with the "no more than 4% damaged/stolen" number in the contract.

Any right-wingers that celebrate this as "proof" they are winning are morons. The goal may be to go more conservative, but you still want people to vote for you.

I'm tired of how everything is an attack on developers. Every new Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft, ... feature/product is ALWAYS viewed as an attack on developers that "already did it", even if it is obvious and more useful built-in to the product. A developer ecosystem is far better off if it adds value in a non-trivial manner than adding features that should have existed and crying foul when they are added.

I'm amazed how there is absolutely nothing in the Gawker article that is remotely accurate. In my experience, every word in that post is incorrect, including "and" and "the".
