Christian activist boycotting Google for loving the gays [Politics] (11)
permalinkRandy Thomasson of the Campaign for Children and Families apparently didn't get the memo that Google is your new god. The CCF is a California organization dedicated to, among other things, making sure only biblically-appropriate marriages involving one weewee and one hooha are allowed in the state by endorsing Proposition 8, which "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." Thomasson told OneNewsNow, the propaganda arm of the American Family Association, that since Google has come ...Shared by Brad 2.0 (3) Deborah Petersen (732) Guy (80) moby74 (5) Nick Gerakines (16) Ritu (519) rOckY (65) Roshan (3) Sean (28) Sun Tzu (553) Zhasper (63)

Gizmodo (4164) permalink
In their teardown of the iPod touch version 2, iFixit found a secret surprise: A Broadcom Bluetooth chipset! Though totally unannounced and not listed on the spec page (Apple says Nike+ doesn't use Bluetooth), the iPod touch's Bluetooth chipset supports 2.1+EDR. We don't know for sure yet if it has A2DP, which would let you use stereo headphones—and be another hardware one-up over the iPhone besides ">the built-in Nike+ functions.

Gente que no tiene problema buscando porno interracial de enanos transexuales mutilados se burla de los furries y los considera "raritos". Incluso aquellos que buscan porno de representación con disfraces se burla de los furries (que no son sino una variación del mismo tema). Yo desde que supe de ellos por primera vez lo único que he pensado especial es "eso tiene que dar calor" y "como hacen para que no se les llenen de pelusa todos los recovecos".
