This sucks. Reed said 827,380 Maricopa County residents had requested absentee ballots or had voted early as of 2 p.m. Friday. The county has seen 566,656, or 68.4 percent, of those ballots returned. There are about 1.7 million registered voters in the county. Early ballots figure to create a significant delay in the compilation of final results. Officials expect that about 200,000 early ballots won't be marked or mailed early but instead will be walked ...

Doing Something Useful With Virtual Worlds (2)

UgoTrade (11) 3 weeks, 4 days ago permalink

I have just got back from attending two conferences in the UK, the Head Conference, and Virtual Worlds London. I was on a mission at both the events to ask questions about how Virtual World technology will answer the call Tim O’Reilly made at the Web 2.0 Expo in New York City to “create more value than you extract” and do something worthy and useful with the internet. The Head Conference was an ambitious, timely, ...

David Letterman takes on John McCain (1)

the comic's comic (20) 1 month ago permalink

After getting snubbed once and making a mockery of Sen. John McCain for it, David Letterman wasn't going to back down last night in the slightest when the Republican presidential nominee showed up to try to make amends on The Late Show with David Letterman. No, no. Instead, Letterman came out swinging right from the first monologue joke, implying that all of the audience members in the balcony were Alaska state troopers fired by Gov. ...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Spotted In Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” (1)

Device Daily (0) 1 month, 1 week ago permalink

About a week ago, Nokia has launched the 5800 XpressMusic, codenamed the Tube, and the handset was supposed to compete against the iPhone thanks to its big touchscreen. However, Nokia can’t possibly think that they can dethrone Apple’s iPhone as the Tube is not a smartphone. I’m aware that besides 3.2-inch 640×360 touchscreen, the 5800 XpressMusic also features GPS, WiFi, 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, 8GB card, and an expandable MicroSD card slot. ...
