Europes First Brothel for Women Goes Bust. According to the article policy was sex first, pay what you thought it was worth afterwards. 8:59:51 PM    Discuss

The Panda "Mega-handheld". Steve Jobs overdosed on organic oat chew watching us reveal the beautiful curves of this baby without his permission. Michael Dell spontaneously combusted in envy and Larry Ellison (as always) claimed to have "told us so." 8:51:51 PM    Discuss

I'm sitting in the cafeteria at the International Schoool of Amsterdam in between parent teacher conferences. I decide to check for the obvious and indeed...several 'open' WiFi networks. Gotta love that! 1:52:10 PM    Discuss

"Olympics ban skate 'porn' " Revealing routines [~] such as women being held upside down with their legs akimbo [~] have been banned ahead of next month[base ']s Winter Olympics. Judges will now deduct points for dirty dancing as bosses fear the family-friendly sport is in danger of attracting the wrong kind of spectator. Are these guys nuts?! They were on their way to doubling their audience. [Daypop Top 40] 11:18:47 AM    Discuss

The NYTimes says Chrysler pulled a Jeep ad because it offended Deer Hunters, who are apparently big Jeep buyers. I wanted to find a video clip of the ad to attach to my RSS feed so I checked out adcritic. Whoops, looks like they bit the dot com dust. Lots of fuzzy words why they're off the air, except for this line: "The short answer: we became so popular so fast that we couldn't stay afloat!" That's the bandwidth crunch for you. Totally killed by the centralized model. The more successful you become, the more bandwidth you have to buy. Too bad, adcritic was a good service. I would have paid for it too, but they never asked. 10:57:27 AM    Discuss
