But I only learned about this from Thomas Hawk first because of reverse chronological posting. ;-) Had I been reading in the order posted, Kevin Fox would have been my "news source."

Is there anyway i can mark this as "i don't like this" i feel guilty marking this news as "i like this.
- Adam Jackson
How about just change "Like" to "Bump"?
- Roshan Vyas
Definitely feel bad about "Liking" this. Bump suggestion is good
- mashable
Launched this around my office, and people are suprised about me knowing this already.
- Stephen Lecheler
I think "Like" should be "highlight" instead.

Waiting at PHL for the first US Air flight I've taken in a long time. I'm glad everyone is ok. I was relieved to hear the evacuation was orderly and hope ppl take this as a reminder that once and a while you should actually read the instructions for the emergency exit.

Michael, good point on "source" How news gets propagated from now on is going to get very interesting analytically.
- Melanie Reed
The path that got me the news on this oddly was having TwitterGadget open in Gmail: CNN BreakingNews pushes it to my Desktop slightly faster than NTARC twitters it in my TwitterGadget window. I immediately tweet to my followers and then go to check FF

macro- blogsearch has in general 270 macro blogs on this story ; compared with maybe 100.000 twitters on this, extremely slow as expected ; btw, coincidence that google took down 4 of their services today??? maybe they needed new server space for * this* [did google/nasa crash the hudson plane ?? [cp 2.o theory]...

Kevin, are you talking about the ewing2001akaNicomedy2010 account? I'm still seeing it.
- Rochelle
It's not actually spam. Read the comment: it's on topic. The rest of the account isn't spammy either.
- Akiva
No, we weren't talking about ewing2001. There was a spammer (username suatuigamala) leaving commentspam in the post. It's an unfortunate artifact that Micah's calling-out now points to an innocent commenter after the spam was removed. :-)

"Although most people are trying their hardest to avoid deep fried foods; few can resist the deep fried pickle. If you've never tried one, you owe it to yourself to indulge in this unusual culinary delight. Nearly everyone who tries them agrees they are unexpectedly delicious and incredibly addicting! While it's hard to determine who made the first deep fried pickle, research indicates it originated in New Orleans. Today, deep fried pickles are served in restaurants and bars across the country, with each having a unique recipe and flavor. Deep fried pickles can be made from just about any type of pickle including pickle slices, pickle spears, and whole pickles. It doesn't matter what flavor of pickles because they all taste great when they are deep fried. The most common choices include regular dill and garlic dill, but bread and butter pickles and baby gherkin pickles make excellent choices as well."

Hmmm. Not the biggest pickle fan. I'll eat them on a burger. But deep frying = good. You could deep fry a sweat sock, and I'll reach for the hot sauce.
- Derrick
omg, I freaking LOVE fried pickes - there is this place in Memphis that makes the BEST fried pickles...but I can't remember the name of it.
- acedanger
Where can I get some? What do they taste like?
- Shevonne
I firmly believe that you can deep fry just about anything (food-wise) and it would taste good.
- Kelly W.
WANT WANT WANT. I haven't had any since I moved out here - everyone thinks I'm weird when I mention them. I'll just have to do some myself.

FRICKLES!!!! OMG *drool* Anytime I find these on a menu, I force everyone at my table to eat them with me. Lucille's BBQ in Brea has some of the best I've ever had outside of the South. :)

"The airline said Smith had purchased two tickets, as he often does, but when Smith decided to fly earlier on standby, only one seat was available, and he was told to get off the plane after he was already seated."

Hilariously, if you follow his Twitter account, there are a couple of outright lies in the article: he doesn't regularly buy two seats, they never called him.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer is right, this is poorly written. Or at least, dishonestly written.
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
This is a newspaper staffed by professional reporters. Not a blog written by some dude in his mother's basement. So obviously YOU have it wrong. And yes, I'm being totally a smart ass. I'm surprised they didn't call him Keith Smith.
- Derek Coward
I love that they note when his next movie is coming out.

Apparently it is a newspaper that is read by 3 year olds on-line...or at least commented on by 3 year olds. I'm about to go to war in the comments on that site, I think I need to close it. Someone said something about "fat thunderlizard"

Yeah, I meant that SW was lying, not necessarily the LA Times (though they don't seem to have done any research other than reading SW's response to the whole thing).

"A new survey from ChangeWave research indicates that future smart phone buyers are considering Android than that of Palm, Windows, and Blackberry. Only three months ago, Android was last place in terms of consumer preference, tied at 6% with Palm. Fast forward to today and Android (21%) sits only a few points behind iPhone (27%)."

"I used to be overweight. Not just a little. When I’d walk down the street, people would go “Damn, that’s a fat ….” (you can fill out the dots with some creative swearing. I’ve heard them all). At my highest level of fatness, I weighed in at a 145 kilograms, which equals about 320 pounds for everybody on the other side of the Atlantic. I’m roughly a 193 centimetres tall (6.3 feet), which left my BMI at an alarming 38.9 (with 30 being the “obese” level). So the people on the street were more than right."

"The ratings are in and ABC's V was the highest rated series premier this season with a rating of 5.0, a 13 share which equals 13.9 million viewers. Of course this doesn't mean that many actually liked it and since we were pretty split here at Engadget HD, we wanted to know what you thought of this new Si-Fi show."

People are drawing comparisons to FlashForward for some reason (1 hr. drama? same network? cinematic?) but I think V > FlashForward. FF started out good, but I've lost interest.
- Derrick
I don't see the comparisons at all between V and Flash Forward. There are more similarities between LOST and Flash then V and LOST. But in both cases Flash Forward is the very clear loser; I've stopped watching it, and it takes a special kind of suck to make me stop watching Sci Fi.
- veo
Better than FlashForward? I have given up on FF due to the inane dialogue
- Dave Hodson
The only comparison I see with LOST and V is they both star the same actress. I tried giving FF a chance, but it's not that great. I LOVE "V" though. :)

Louis, Did you get your wife that new phone yet? This might be the one!!
- Chris Myles
Chris, she just got a new MacBook and new printer. She's spoiled enough for now.
- Louis Gray
I'm going to wait & see. I'd like to see one with multitouch, Snapdragon processor, and a better keyboard, preferably made by HTC
- Rodfather
I was really looking to this handset... until I read the reviews; nothing positive has been about the camera, and for me, that's a deal breaker. The good news is, the problems *seem* to be software related rather than hardware, so maybe a fix will appear soon.
- Andrew Terry
Sooner or later someone will release a smartphone that makes me want to buy it. I keep waiting.
- Eoghann Irving
The same here Rodfather, I'm addicted to multitouch, no reason to go.
- JCunwired
no multitouch... really. i'll try it out, but that could break the deal for me. still, my Pre may be getting nervous...
- .LAG liked that
Louis, a wife spoiled with a Droid means husbands gets to help/play/review .. at least that's the logic I'm trying to use to justify OUR purchase. Although your wife does sound sufficiently spoiled.. for now !!
- Chris Myles
There is a demo video floating around that shows a version of droid with multitouch. If they release that, and it's GSM, i'm probably buying.

"Joss Whedon's online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" not only broke new ground for Internet media, it also landed an Emmy in the short-format, live-action category of the annual awards. So, it was probably no surprise that the series already had a sequel in the works long before all the award talk began. Back in August, we got the scoop from Whedon himself—and now we have an update from one the project's stars, "Castle" and "Firefly" star Nathan Fillion."

""There are plans," Fillion told MTV News. "The media for the sequel has not yet been decided, but there is a title." While Fillion couldn't spill on the proposed title for the "Dr. Horrible" sequel, he did say that Whedon and the rest of the "Dr. Horrible" creative team—Joss' brothers Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon and Jed's wife, Maurissa Tancharoen—already have a few of the songs written....

"I am the driver of the Tesla in the three-way crash. I am all right and as Jason writes above, both front and back crumple zones did their job well. But Tesla could do better with the neck support on top of the seat, it was very hard on my head. But the accident has convinced me that the Tesla is a very safe sports car. There were no damage in the passenger compartment at all. The Tesla was brand new and had only been running for 400 miles and it was very sad for the owner, I had lent it from. Overall, six people went to the hospital, and after three hours we were all on our way home. Twelve hours after the accident, my family and I could enter the plane for a week holiday in New York. I find it very interesting to read about the accident on different international web sites."
