I call shenanigans: I'm a prototypical member of the "iPod generation," yet am one of the biggest proponents of renewed and expanded efforts in space exploration. And all my friends, also members of this misnomered generation, are as well.

Oh Slashdot, the drivel you'll accept and post is astounding sometimes.

Gauging Google's Gaffes 140

Posted by Zonk from the hire-a-demon-to-beat-back-hell dept.
conq writes "BusinessWeek has a piece looking at some of the recent faux pas of Google and what implications they might have. The articles's conclusion: They should hire a chief marketing officer to avoid such gaffes. From the article: 'Recent missteps that have whipsawed or irked investors include the inadvertent release of sales projections and an agreement to censor its own search results in China. Then on Mar. 8, Google used a vaguely worded blog on its site to disclose a settlement of as much as $90 million in a case concerning click fraud. That came days after the company said the case was without merit and told investors the impact of click fraud on advertisers is immaterial.'"

$9 Billion Loophole for Synthetic Fuel 328

Posted by Zonk from the that's-a-dirty-pool dept.
Rondrin writes "CNN has an article detailing a $9 billion loophole in the tax code to spur synthetic fuel development. Unfortunately, spraying coal with pine tar qualifies. From the article: 'The wording is so bland and buried so deep within a 324-page budget document that almost no one would notice that a multibillion-dollar scam is going on. Not the members of Congress voting for it and certainly not the taxpayers who will get fleeced by it. And that is exactly the idea.'"
