wiredog writes "The Atlantic has a brief piece on what is likely to be the first photograph (a daguerreotype) showing a human. From the article: 'In September, Krulwich posted a set of daguerreotypes taken by Charles Fontayne and William Porter in Cincinnati 162 years ago, on September 24, 1848. Krulwich was celebrating the work of the George Eastman House in association with the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Using visible-light microscopy, the George Eastman House scanned several plates depicting the Cincinnati Waterfront so that scholars could zoom in and study the never-before-seen details.'"

tekgoblin writes "There have been numerous reasons why the White iPhone 4 may be delayed with one reason being the color mismatch between the home button and the body. Well this time there is another reason. A source has told CultofMac that the reason for the delay is a light leakage issue caused by the case being clear. Light from the case leaks into pictures taken by the back and front camera on the white iPhone 4, causing distorted pictures. This problem is non-existent on the black iPhone 4, because of its already black case, so Apple has been looking for a solution to this problem, thus the delay of the White iPhone 4 till spring of next year."

The rule isn't fuzzy, actually, it's just that in US English the noun and verb are agreeing on a purely grammatical level, without caring about semantics at all. So, since "The Beatles" is a term that is grammatically plural, the verb agrees with the plural; vice-versa for Aerosmith, Radiohead, Apple, Toyota, etc.

Slightly offtopic... as someone who does fantasy soccer, can you explain to this American how it works in a nutshell? Soccer has no stats except goals scored. Do you track minutes played, yellow cards, and touches or something? There's just not much to work with, it seems to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
