  1. well done Google on Microsoft Says Upgrade To IE8, Even Though It's Vulnerable · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Looking back at the whole story it seems that Google planed this in advance. They got hacked for real... but then someone had an idea: this an IE exploit so lets benefit from this. Let's show everyone how bad IE really is. So they posted on their blog saying that they will get out of China because of this attack (very dramatic so everybody heard about it) but I suspect that they have no intention to do that. I think they used their blog just to let people know: "we are Google, we know stuff about security but we've been hacked, we will lose this big market and it's all because of this flawed IE". Now everybody is running away from IE (finally).

    Not sure if this is evil but I'm sure IE will lose because of this.

  2. back to basics on Is RCA's Airnergy Snake Oil? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll get more energy with a hand-crank generator...

  3. from the other side of the fence on China Luring Scientists Back Home · · Score: 1

    "Does it make sense to invest in their training if they will do their major work elsewhere?"

    or from this side:

    Does it make sense to invest in their 0-18 years only to find out they want to emigrate to US?
