More Airline Fees Mean Less Revenue

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 04:11 AM PDT

“And guess what? The airlines that added bag fees most quickly and on the most bags last year are exactly the ones that had the largest year-over-year revenue fall in this year’s first quarter.” I’m so glad that this is true, although it sounds like airline executives are blissfully ignorant…

Microsoft ropes in Family Guy to pimp Windows 7 [The Register]

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 04:02 AM PDT

Wow, this sounds really lame: “‘The cornerstone of the effort is the exclusive Windows 7 sponsorship of an upcoming television event devoted to the comedy of Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show.’ … Redmond and MacFarlane are apparently taking the idea of ‘commercial-free’ to the next level, with the ‘original FOX variety special Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show.’ They promise ‘simplicity for viewers’ with no ads or promos – just ‘unique Windows 7-branded programming that blends seamlessly with show content.’”

Introducing Google Building Maker [Official Google Blog]

Posted: 13 Oct 2009 06:29 PM PDT

“We like to think of Building Maker as a cross between Google Maps and a gigantic bin of building blocks. Basically, you pick a building and construct a model of it using aerial photos and simple 3D shapes – both of which we provide. When you’re done, we take a look at your model. If it looks right, and if a better model doesn’t already exist, we add it to the 3D Buildings layer in Google Earth. You can make a whole building in a few minutes.”

God is not the Creator, claims academic [Telegraph]

Posted: 13 Oct 2009 06:59 AM PDT

“Professor Ellen van Wolde, a respected Old Testament scholar and author, claims the first sentence of Genesis "in the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth” is not a true translation of the Hebrew. She claims she has carried out fresh textual analysis that suggests the writers of the great book never intended to suggest that God created the world – and in fact the Earth was already there when he created humans and animals. “

The profit motive – it’s a killer.“

Alt+F4 only asks the foreground program to exit, allowing it to decide for itself what to do. You can also kill a process by pressing Win+F4 and then clicking the window with your mouse. You can press escape or the right mouse button to exit this mode without killing a program. ”

DNC says Republican critics aligning with terrorists [CNN.com]

Posted: 09 Oct 2009 08:36 AM PDT

I think calling them terrorists is going a bit too far, just like the GOP did under W, but I think this statement is right on the money: “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride – unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim.”
