Donuts, muffins and frozen pizzas all had their cover blown on Jan. 1, when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandated labeling of so-called "trans fats" in foods.

I try to login into Google Calendar today, which I rarely use and here’s what I see:

So now Google Calendar doesn’t support Internet Explorer? I try it with Opera, same result. A-fucking-mazing. I can click cancel and it will load, but what a slimy message.

It’s cool that Google favors Open Source; really cool, in fact. But if you’re going to restrict what 25% of the planet can search (China), then it’s not a big leap to restrict what software people can use to access your apps. Makes you go “Hmmmm”… isn’t this the very behavior that we’ve bitched to Microsoft about for years and years? By pulling this stunt, Google and the Firefox crowd confirm that Microsoft’s behavior was right all along; it’s now okay if Microsoft restricts viewing sites only with Internet Explorer.

Hell no, it was never right. The whole idea of a computer is freedom — freedom to work, produce, create, view, search, play, compose, discover, tinker, and so on. But when did Google (along with a few other Firefox fanatic websites) decide which browser is best for me? Why does Google presume to make that decision for me? Why would any company? If I wanted to use Firefox, I will (I can’t wait to try out version 2.0 due out later this year). But I’m agnostic with regard to browsers. I just happen to prefer Maxthon’s face on IE’s engine.

In case they don’t get the message, fuck you, Google.

Drinking lots of coffee cut women’s risk of developing diabetes in an 11-year study, researchers report. But it was the antioxidants, not caffeine, in the brew that probably did the trick.

Eating dairy products, especially low-fat ones, could help lower your blood pressure, a new study suggests.

Wouldn’t it be cool if Windows Vista had the ability to place all software registration and licensing info in one modular packet or folder that could be backed up and transferred from one computer to another, such as when you buy a new system? I know Windows XP has its wonderful Files and Settings Transfer feature, but it is by no means complete. Such an option would eliminate the need to phone home, or get on the phone to verify that you actually are a registered user of a vendor’s software and spend time and money begging them for activation. I always feel like a criminal when a company assumes I’m stealing the goods I paid for (and the mere license number, order number, and activation code are not enough until I talk to them over the phone).

Is there any software out there that can do this now, transferring info from one system to a completely different/new one? Let me know.

          

This girl is holding a disk. It’s supposed to represent something to do with software registration, but hey, I just liked the picture of the babe.

If Google really wanted to help us, then create a map app that tells us where the cops are on the highways.

          

I’m driving my weekend run and cops and their wolves appear out of nowhere these days. The speed limit says 70, but that really means 80, right? If Google gave us a real-time on-board or iPod app (god I hate that toy) to show us where the cops are ahead, then we could moderate our speed through their presence, and then haul ass once they’re gone. What’s the use of having an old, rusted, underpowered Ford F-150 pickup if you can’t take it out on the interstate and blow the soot out of it?

Tired of waiting on the world. I mean, damn, it’s time technology gave something back to humanity right?

Now that Scoble is leaving the best job in the world next to Vanna White’s, I am publicly applying for Scoble’s job. Microsoft, I won’t be a Dvorak instigator or Pirillo carper, but I will rattle the cages and promise you’ll want to fire me at the end of my first week, and definitely within a month. I’ll even take less pay than Scoble, and hey, does Microsoft “do” hookers or strippers. What kind of software do we have for exotic night clubs? Hey, I’m just asking! Got to start somewhere, why not on top?

    

Scoble, you’re a model in every way, and really, you’re a gorgeous man. I wish you great happiness and meaning in your life. But WTF mate!
