Folks, journalists don’t even get to write their own headlines. If I get one more person telling me it’s hypocritical to write an article criticizing tracking on a site that has cookies, I’m gonna blow.

Bad idea of the day: An ebook reader program in two columns, where the second column is specifically for recording personal marginal notes & is the same size as the book’s text itself – notes pinned to the paragraph, line, or sentence. Call it ‘MARGINAL’.
