Comment As long as we're talking about his appearance... (Score 2) 221

The description in the summary is from his first meeting, before the cables were leaked.
From the article:

Assange was transformed by his outlaw celebrity. The derelict with the backpack and the sagging socks now wore his hair dyed and styled, and he favored fashionably skinny suits and ties. He became a kind of cult figure for the European young and leftish and was evidently a magnet for women.

Submission + - NY Times and Wikileaks (nytimes.com)

irockash writes: The New York Times has an essay by editor Bill Keller describing the paper's handling of the leaked cables, meetings with Julian Assange, and response from the public. The essay is the introduction to the book "Open Secrets," the self-described "definitive chronicle of the WikiLeaks documents’ release and the controversy that ensued."

Submission + - Gawker sued for leaking pages from Palin's book (cbsnews.com)

irockash writes: HarperCollins filed a complaint against Gawker for leaking 21 pages from Sarah Palin's upcoming book, "America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag." Other sites have published excerpts from the book, but refused to take them down after being sent a letter demanding the material taken down. "An item published the day before and titled "Sarah Palin Is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book" defended the blog's actions and linked to websites defining the fair use doctrine of copyright law."

Looking at the Google site, the phone costs $179 if you sign up with a T-Mobile plan. So if you cancel, you're out the $179 + $150 from Google, + $200 from T-Mobile... which brings the price to $529, which coincidentally, is the unlocked price of the phone. You are at a loss, however, of how many months you had the service before canceling (with T-Mobile's current discount for not subsidizing the device).
