Salon.com News | Red, white and wrong: "But would someone remind whomever is in charge over there that the Olympic Games are an international event? One would have thought this was obvious, but it apparently hasn't sunk in at the Nativist Broadcasting Company, which on Friday night pandered to the lowest common denominator with embarrassingly USA-centric coverage that made the Olympics seem like America's Salute to Itself. If there were an Olympics judging committee for broadcasting, the network would be disqualified for doping the American people. The Games, and the American public, deserve better.
"
Bravo. This is a great article. This is one of many quotables.

The Globe and Mail: Breaking Games News: "SalïF8E and Pelletier cast a spell on the little clutch of watchers, even though they performed no tricks, throws, jumps or twists. They skated through them, and all you saw were the magnificent bones of the piece and its emotion. When SalïF8E and Pelletier were finished, tears were welling up in the eyes of the few who watched." This is a practice. Can't wait to see the performance tonight.

News.Com: Google aims search device at companies. What makes Google different is that it is selling search hardware and software, all contained in a slim device it calls the Google Search Appliance, which businesses can install behind their own corporate firewalls and program to scan whichever documents they wish. [Tomalak's Realm]I couldn't figure out Google's business model. I'm glad they have somthing to sell to the enterprise. I want them to stay in business. It's be cool if they released a desktop version too, as Dave is clamouring for.
