While traveling home from Arkansas, my wife and I stopped by the Precious Moments Park and Chapel in Carthage, Missouri. We expected to find a small gift shop selling figurines; instead, we entered a magic kingdom for obsessed collectors.
We have all had the experience of wanting to tell our customers were to get off, but few of us ever get the chance to vent our frustrations to anyone other than a coworker or family member. Steven Slater, a former airline flight attendant stood up for all Americans who have had it with unreasonable customers.

I am still loving my new MacBook Pro, and I am still hating my other notebook (yes, it runs that dreadful Windows Vista). However, I wonder if one of Apple’s great tools, Time Machine, may not be a potential security vulnerability.
In an announcement that will likely have long term implications for users of personal computers, the International Linux Foundation today reported that it will release a version of its operating system that will include a link to a distributed network.
