the desperation of the elite media to avoid discussing rising gas prices, to avoid the President"s apology to religious fanatics in Afghanistan, to avoid a trillion dollar deficit, to avoid the longest period of unemployment since the Great Depression...

This has nothing to do with women"s access to birth control. Contraceptives are plentiful and extremely inexpensive despite what Fluke claimed... The goal here by the media is to assist Obama in

How To Undelete Lost Google Calendar Events
[info]crismerino

Google gives us email, calendars and all kinds of other stuff for free, and we"re not supposed to look a gift horse in the mouth.

But sometimes that horse swallows our stuff. Google Calendar, in particular, is notorious for making events disappear. It doesn"t offer much help for getting events back, either. If you deleted an event on purpose, you have a few seconds to click "Undo," and then it"s basically gone forever. If it disappears due to a g

Is Readability Just an Instapaper Ripoff or Something Bigger?
[info]crismerino

Like the rest of the iOS device-toting, lots-of-stuff-reading geekosphere, I rushed to download the Readability app pretty much as soon as it dropped yesterday.

Monster Truck Driver Pays for Crushing Teen's First Car
[info]crismerino

Stay with us on this, because the story here is one big misunderstanding.

It"s a little hard to make out in the YouTube video, but Norman Nowling is backing his Ford Econoline monster van over the top of a Toyota Camry. When he finished his brutal work, the Camry wouldn"t be going anywhere that didn"t involve the words "flatbed" and "chains." So imagine the shock when the Toyota"s 16-year-old owner returned to it in the wee hours, noticeably flat
