     1. Diebold comes clean, admits that its e-voting machines are faulty

         

        (Engadget)

         
     2. A "critical programming error that can cause votes to be dropped while being electronically transferred from memory cards to a central tallying point" has been part of the software for ten years.
        Faulty voting machines and hanging chads, oh my! In an election year too? Oh boy! Can't wait until November.

     1. Microsoft enlists Seinfeld for ad campaign

         

        (Media biz)

         
     2. Jerry Seinfeld will be one of the key celebrity pitchmen in Microsoft Corp's $300 million advertising campaign aimed at changing its image.
        I loved Seinfeld's show, but this could change my opinion. I know the guy's probably just doing it for the money, but Microsoft? Really, Jerry? No soup for you!

     1. Assembling your 'party': Five kinds of friends you should make on social networks

         

        (Andy De Soto blog)

         
     2. Making 'friends' on social networking sites like Digg, Facebook, Twitter, or FriendFeed is a lot like assembling an old-school RPG party: it takes certain kinds of people, carefully balanced, to make the social networking experience a pleasant one.

     2. The big issue is how do we design the technology so that it will accomodate a maximum of use cases (social contexts) without making impossible for others to exist. There is not yet a definitive answer.

     1. Find an Undervalued Asset. Fix It Up. Flip It. (Now It's Web Sites, Not Houses)

         

        (NYTimes.com)

         
     2. Dave Hermansen did not own a bird or a cage when he bought bird-cage.com, an online store, for $1,800 three years ago. He simply saw a Web site that was "very, very poorly done," and begged the owners to sell it to him. He then redesigned the site, added advertising and drove up traffic. Last December, he sold it for $173,000.
        There are some truly atrocious Web sites out there, sitting on top of valuable content niches. Hmmm.....

     1. As a tribute, Democrats to place Clinton's name in nomination

         

        (International Herald Tribune)

         
     2. Her name will not be on the general election ballot this fall, but Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential candidacy will receive one final tribute when her name is formally placed into nomination at the Democratic convention.
        This looks really fishy to me. I don't like it.

     1. Favre says arm feeling 'fatigued,' will ask for fewer throws in afternoon

         

        (ESPN.com)

         
     2. "I felt 38 today," Favre said Wednesday after New York's morning practice. "I'm not going to lie to you."
        Hmm...is a bit of 'buyer's remorse' starting to creep into the back of Jets' coach Eric Mangini's melon? How messed up would it be if it turns out that the Jets got rid of a QB with a pop-gun arm--Chad Pennington--but who was an effective field general, a guy who knew the offense inside-out, and generally, was considered extremely smart, for a guy who has a rocket-arm, but who isn't generally included in the list of what you'd call 'cerebral' quarterbacks--if said rocket-arm QB's weapon is shooting blanks? Oh, woe is me, I'm feeling 38-year today too. J-E-T-S. Jets. Jets. Jets.

     1. Isaac Hayes dead at 65

         

        (CNN Wire/CNN.com)

         
     2. Soul singer and arranger Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar for the theme from the 1971 action film "Shaft," has died, sheriff's officials in Memphis, Tennessee, reported Sunday.
        He's a legend, both musically, and within the ethereal firmament of pop culture, with his involvment as the voice of Chef in South Park, so he will not be forgotten, even in our here today/gone later today culture. It's been a tough weekend for big-time Black™ entertainment celebrities, what with Bernie Mac passing away as well.
