Amazing, I read Yahoo news to giggle about the typos

Really, I read yahoo news because I like its interface, it's easy on the eyes (mine at least).  But man don't you think a news story on the web would be 12309!82 times easier to proof read considering you got, i dono, forever to update it?

I remember a friend of mine expressing this little peeve of his and I couldn't help but think he was a little... uppety bout spelling?  He is kinda book wormsy--although he dedicates his powers to fantasy leagues instead of evil.  Nonetheless, it made me laugh a little, until I thought about it more deeply.  If the internet serves "virtually" as a library of sorts--where news paper print has become tree-friendly--then it's a wonder why some Yahoo webmaster doesn't just occasionally read the HEADLINES from time to time?  or I don't know, the person who reported it?

Otherwise, as the joe shmoe internet news reader, i really could give two shits.  It's not like typos are grammar mistakes... unless they are, in which case f-u for wasting my-- oh wait, yahoo news is free.  :-D

The pleasures and pain of automatic "does it for you"

This could easily turn into a discussion of the benefits of autonomy versus the burdens and responsibilities.  I would love to write that when I have time.  But I don't.

Before the horrible idea of Google Instant, there was Microsoft Word's incessant "autocorrection."  How did I not see this before!?

Granted, auto correct does come in handy, but I would bet that I'm un-auto-correcting things more often than I'm depending on it.

Seriously, am I a victim of being...self...sufficient?

Strange Weather Patterns

I'm no meteorologist, nor do I need to be in order to say that the weather has been funky lately.  How far back does "lately" extend to, that is a matter of opinion that I'll leave to the meteorologists to bicker about.  But yes, things are weird, that's for sure.

The Rich side of the Tracks

Forgive me for what will be a rather insensitive post, but I'm tired of hearing people bitch about the rich.  It's become such a trend in itself to moan about "elitist rich folk" that I'm starting to wonder if this trend wasn't created by some rich guy in order to make himself more money.

Google Instant... boy you suck

Seriously, how much more INSTANT does google need to get?  Am I that dependent on google's amazing search system that I need them to find the "search" button and push it for me before I can do it myself?
