Comming soon to a Wal-Mart near you

$200 Ubuntu Linux PC Now Available at Wal-Mart | Gadget Lab from Wired.com:

"'It's almost like a Google PC,' Liu says, pointing to the desktop's rack of pre-configured links to all of Google's online applications. It is, he says, the mass-market Linux PC we've all been waiting for. 'That's our dream. ... we go the final step to make it work out the box, to go the whole nine yards.'"

If I had the extra bucks I would like to buy one. It would be for the kids, right...... sure it would..... well maybe........

FOXNews.com - Jury Awards Father Nearly $11 Million in Funeral Protesters Case - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News:

"The jury first awarded $2.9 million in compensatory damages. It returned later in the afternoon with its decision to award $6 million in punitive damages for invasion of privacy and $2 million for causing emotional distress to the Marine's father, Albert Snyder of York, Pa."

I only hope that the man will be able to collect as much as he can and bankrupt this group.

A-Rod, your timming stinks

NEW YORK --

Major League Baseball had this message for Alex Rodriguez and agent Scott Boras: shame on you.

Boras announced during Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday night that A-Rod was opting out of the final three seasons of his contract with the New York Yankees. The timing left baseball officials livid.

"We were very disappointed that Scott Boras would try to upstage our premier baseball event of the season with his announcement," Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said Monday in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

You know, I was wondering about the timing of that myself. Glad to see that MLB was not happy with it either. Must have had some Yankee blood in him still to time that the way he did.

Plastic Jesus

The Local - Church plans Lego sculpture of Jesus:

"A church in Västerås is asking parishioners to donate enough pieces of white Lego to create a life-size statue of Jesus. A local priest is leading the drive to construct a white plastic Jesus in the central Swedish town. Per Wilder estimates that 20,000 Lego blocks will be needed to complete the project."

When I was in my early teen years I remember a song about 'Plastic Jesus' riding on the dashboard of my car. Guess He just got bigger.

Why does this offend me?
