Ramblings… nonsensical ramblings… wildly nonsensical ramblings…
Check out the show with zefrank for an amusing and fast-paced perspective on the random things that Ze Frank wants to video podcast about… including how to really mess with Kim Jong Il by carpet bombing rolexes and iPods…
I find it incredibly amusing that something like the McRib has had the success that it has… a farewell tour, being mocked by the Simpsons (aired February 16, 2003), and now being used as a market timing indicator…

I’m surprised Google is paying $1.6 billion for YouTube… so are a lot of other people.
Virgin Atlantic Bans Dell, Apple Laptops:
Virgin is the third airline to make such restrictions on the recently-exploding laptops, following fellow international carriers Korean Air air and Qantas. Citing the incident of an exploding IBM at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) today, it wouldn’t be surprising if more airlines adapt similar policies. Until new thin-lithium technologies make exploding batteries a thing of the past, jetsetters might have to secede their laptop rights in favor of general safety.
From Business Week:
If Monopoly constitutes a reflection of contemporary U.S. culture, here’s the world we now live in. Most of the game’s famous tokens are reemerging as branded products. They include a Toyota Prius (TM), a New Balance sneaker, McDonald’s (MCD) French Fries, a Motorola (MOT) RAZR, and a Starbucks (SBUX) coffee mug. The three nonbranded tokens are a laptop computer, an airplane, and a Labradoodle.
I just love Doonesbury:
[In case it wasn’t obvious, the backstory is that the football coach has a prosthetic leg.]
