Sadly, news about publishers "taxing" a toddler's storytime at the local library doesn't strike me as out of character for the publishing industry. The fact there are greedy people in the world doesn't suprise me anymore. What contines to suprise me into my 6th decade is how easily a rich man's rationalizations as to why the rest of us owe them a living are parrotted by useful idiots and turned into laws by the sycophants we choose to represent us at the breakast table.

Just downloaded the OS X 10.5.2 Leopard update. Apple says in includes loads of bug fixes, but I don't feel a real change. Actually, I have a hunch that it might have slow down the system. Did anyone feel the same? http://www.pollsb.com/polls/poll/6331/apple-releases-os-x-10-5-2-update

probably not pr0n as he seems to be a religious guy.

The rumor mill is already gushing about the story: turns out Scott had an affair with one of his subordinates, who recently go a big promotion that raised many eye brows around the company. The two were on leave together when the investigation started: http://www.pollsb.com/polls/poll/3617/microsoft-fires-cio-stuart-scott-possibly-for-inter-office-affair-with-his-subordinate
