""Late in the afternoon on Wednesday, the WHO raised the pandemic threat level for H1N1 "swine flu" to 5."

Wow. I knew they had good music but I did not know Peter Townshend was in charge of changing pandemic threat levels.

Journal Journal: GM - now a bankruptcy filing is no longer "inconsiderable" 15

Journal by tomhudson on Saturday February 14, 2009 @05:30PM

Just a few weeks ago, bankruptcy was "inconsiderable" - "It's not an option."

It now looks like GM will file for bankruptcy at the beginning of the week.

Oklahoma Senator Proposes Tax Incentive For Family-Friendly Games 53

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday January 24, 2009 @07:30AM from the wii-devs-rejoice dept.

GamePolitics reports on legislation proposed by Senator Anthony Sykes (R-OK) which would make video games eligible for the same tax breaks that apply to TV and film. The catch is that games with a mature rating would not be eligible for those breaks. Quoting: "While games are restricted to projects appropriate for those under 17, the only eligibility requirement placed on film content is that it be neither child pornography nor obscene. By that standard, R-rated films and MA-17 television programs would easily qualify for the tax break. ... '[Sen. Sykes]... would rather not include the ratings restriction. Unfortunately, as he went around to his fellow senators asking for their support, the first question out of their mouths was whether there would be ratings restrictions.'"

theodp writes "Using Yahoo's free e-mail service to conduct government business was good enough for Sarah Palin. And now the Washington Times reports that Obama staffers turned to Gmail on Inauguration Day to conduct their business. Those wishing to contact members of the incoming Obama administration were instructed to contact staffers at wh.LASTNAME@gmail.com until official White House e-mail addresses became available."

Oh please, this cost myth is just your average right wind Drudge myth garbage. Check this article out. They are claiming the Obama inauguration will be 160 million. Well the 2005 Bush inauguration was 157 million. Not much difference folks.

Tech Companies That Won't Survive 2009 385

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday January 12, 2009 @02:30PM from the in-a-blaze-of-glory dept.

buzzardsbay writes "Fresh off their annual market survey, eWEEK channel folks have compiled the list of tech vendors their readers think will fail, falter, or be sold off in 2009. It's important to note that these aren't the opinions of the magazine or its editors. The list comes from folks who work in IT, mostly technology resellers, who are out in the field selling, installing and maintaining this stuff. If there were ever canaries in the tech coal mine, they'd be these service and solution providers who live and die by the slightest shift in the markets. Some of the companies on this list, like Sun and AMD, are shocking because of their size. Others, like CA and Symantec, not so surprising." What other companies are headed for implosion, or should be if all were right with the universe?

Obama's "ZuneGate" 608

Posted by kdawson on Sunday December 07, 2008 @06:17AM from the et-tu-barack dept.

theodp writes "Barack Obama supporters were left shaking their heads after a report surfaced that the president-elect was using a Zune at the gym instead of an iPod. So why would Mac-user Obama be Zune-ing out? Could be one of those special-edition preloaded Zunes that Microsoft bestowed on Democratic National Convention attendees, suggests TechFlash, nixing the idea that the soon-to-be Leader of the Free World would waste time loading Parallels or Boot Camp in OS X just to use a Zune."

There are not any new episodes of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report right now and is the reason why I did not say those shows. FYI, I like The Daily Show. I do think The Colbert Report is old and tired.
