In this YouTube clip, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) says some congresspeople were told in private briefings that if they did not pass the bailout bill, circumstances would soon force the federal government to "impose martial law." (Thanks, Martha Clayton)

Despite the ballyhooed $700 billion (actually, with pork it’s closer to $852 billion) bailout deal, for the first time in four years, the Dow falls below 10,000: Investors around the world have come to the sobering realization that the Bush administration’s $700 billion rescue plan won’t work quickly to unfreeze the credit markets. Global banks, hobbled by wrong-way bets on mortgage securities, still remain starved for cash as credit has dried up. That’s caused stocks ...

Windows/Linux: Picasa, Google's photo management tool, has quietly announced a new beta that adds basic movie editing, fuller syncing to Web Albums, and many other features and changes. Actually, the biggest change in the new Picasa isn't in the software itself—it's a new "quick view" utility, which replaces the basic double-click viewing tool in Windows with a Picasa-friendly, drop-cloth-style window. Five new collage styles have also been added to the offerings, and Picasa's new "Move ...

You're standing around the water cooler chatting with your co-workers, and someone makes a racist (sexist, homophobic, or otherwise stereotype-based) joke. What do you do? Call him or her out on it and risk your work relationship? Don't say a thing (and imply that it's ok)? Over at the Brazen Careerist blog, race and culture consultant Carmen Van Kerckhove says: My recommendation? Play dumb. Put on a bewildered expression, act as if you don't understand ...

I do something similar to this. I ask them to explain the joke, but in a slightly more confrontational way. "What do you mean by that? What are you trying to say?"

A módszer jó, de egy idő után te leszel az a faszi, aki minden rasszista vicc után hülyének tetteti magát, ami feltűnik. Szóval időnként azért mégiscsak érdemes elküldeni a picsába az ilyen kollegákat, már csak a megtévesztés végett is :)

Losing access to your GMail account is tantamount to banishment from the internet, but Google's non-existent customer support makes it nearly impossible for rightful owners to regain control of their accounts. The New York Times asked Google why they couldn't afford to offer phone-based customer support, a simple question Google needed three people to answer. Mr. Glotzbach began by saying that “one-to-one support isn’t always the best answer” because it would take Google too long ...

After rumors surfaced on the Web a few months back that a new Kindle might be on the way, Amazon.com did its best to shoot them down, saying a new Kindle was not coming this year.
