So you want fresh veg? Grab a carton of chips: "Think of fresh vegetables and you think of fields of crops, or perhaps rows of supermarket shelves brimming with luscious, colourful variety. But thanks to the US department of agriculture, American consumers will no longer have to bother with such healthy fare. A little-noticed ruling by the department reclassifies french fries as fresh vegetables." And if you want some change in your diet, have a Wurstkoffer.

Break the Microsoft Monopoly on web browsers -- Comment()
Why to switch web browsers today: "FireFox 0.9 is here. And it's less than a 5 MB download. [...] [Microsoft] locked the IE team in a dark dungeon and they haven't allowed improvements to IE for several years now. Now Firefox is the better product and there's a glimmer of hope that one day DHTML will actually improve to the point where web-based applications are just as good as Windows-based applications." [Joel on Software]
