- Google Books launched today, which is yet another book library website. For some reason I am still interested, simply because it’s Google. Am I a fanboy? It sure seems that way. Almost all of the content on this website exists because of Google...
- AT&T scored the lowest on a customer satisfaction survey of 58,000 people. They did have a good third quarter, as their spokespeople won’t let you forget, but I can’t help but wonder what’ll happen when the iPhone moves to Verizon...
- espnW launched today, with what looks like a mid-90s themed website design. To my women readers out there: will you use the new site?
- Gingerbread is here! I really shouldn’t get giddy with excitement. It took Droid X a couple months longer than most other Verizon platforms to get 2.2. Who knows how long it will take for 2.3 to actually roll out to the Droid family?
- This post links to an excellent Economist article and discusses a bigger picture behind the WikiLeaks and entertainment industry.
- Here are some pictures of Qatar’s plans for soccer stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. This might be a good link to refer back to in 12 years to see just how accurate the pictures are.
- If you have some time, maybe you’ll be interested in learning why Google Maps’ labels are easier to read than Bing’s and Yahoo!’s.
- The Heat head to Cleveland tonight, where LeBron James will visit his old team for the first time since leaving. I would be impressed if the Cavs fans decided to politely cheer for LeBron, but after the way they cried when he left, I think everyone knows that won’t happen. Seriously, Cleveland, get over it.
- If you’re into the whole donating thing, this seems like a pretty unique cause.
- This story just fascinates me: Dale Earnhardt Jr. won NASCAR’s most popular driver award for the eighth straight year. Something doesn’t seem right about that. Even more surprising, Bill Elliott holds the record at 10 straight from 1991-2000. I know most of you don’t care about NASCAR (including me...), but Bill Elliott? Come on.
- Google Chrome 8 is out after an unusually quiet release. TechCrunch seems to think that’s how it will be for Chrome from now on.
- The White Sox signed Adam Dunn to a 4-year, $56 million contract. Hooray for strikeouts. This deal is only OK with me if he is strictly DH; I don’t want Konerko to leave.
- By defeating Boise State, Nevada actually lost money - and quite a bit of it.
- The net neutrality issue is continuing to heat up. I still have trouble understanding what exactly is going on, but Giz does a decent job at helping out. The issue regarding tiered data plans isn’t a big concern of mine, as I would probably fall into a lower tier - at least from a mobile perspective.
- WikiLeaks continues to dominate the news, and I officially caught up on all of it today. Whether or not you support what Julian Assange is doing, you have to admit that it is quite entertaining.
- A co-pilot nearly crashed a plane when he reclined his seat. Yikes.
