So I saw Twilight last night. But don’t get your hopes up. I’m not reviewing it here. As a condition of being allowed into the screening, the press had to assure Summit Entertainment that we wouldn’t run reviews before Friday. So you’ll have to wait a few days for that. Instead, I want to talk about Edward. Not the character from the book, necessarily, but the character in the film, played by Robert Pattinson (who ...

As told by Ad Age, here is a fascinating account of the brouhaha over a recent — now deceased — advertising campaign for Motrin, the painkiller. It’s left some executives at Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit consuming a lot of their own medicine! The ads were an attempt by Motrin to connect and show empathy with moms … but some moms were instead insulted and incensed. And a backlash that ignited via blogs ...

Hardly . . . but there is a glimmer of hope. California colleges are helping to lead the way in getting fewer college students to rely upon cars on college campuses. The following comes from Treehugger: Other campuses, as reported by the Association for Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), are offering financial give-aways to keep cars off of the road. Stanford University, for example, will pay up to $282 a year to students ...

Huge numbers of people — estimates range widely from 3,000 to 10,000 — converged at the Mormon Temple in New York City to protest the passage of California’s Proposition 8. JoeMyGod was there, and he has a great roundup. One good question which has arisen out of these protests is this: where were all of these people before the election? I think I have one piece of an answer that I will set about to ...

Back then, there were two billion mobile phone users globally and we were facing the prospect of one billion more being added over 18 months, of which 80 per cent of those will be first-time users in emerging markets without PCs.

…and in a sick way, it was really kind of cool. I’ve been playing with Google Chrome for a couple days. But because Chrome is only available (natively) for Windows right now, I have to run a Windows XP virtual machine on my Linux machine (which still runs openSUSE). And since I hardly ever need to use Windows anymore, the VM needed several updates, see? So, I’m a-browsin’ and a-updatin’, and really enjoying how well ...

On the day after election day, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints issued a triumphant press release crowing about their smashing success in stripping gays of their rights in California and permanently assigning gays to second-class citizenship in Arizona and Florida. But they insisted that they weren’t anti-gay, or even opposed to some rights for gays and lesbians: … the Church does not object to rights for same-sex couples regarding hospitalization and medical ...
