Seeded on Mon Jun 19, 2006 4:07 PM EDT (Wired News)

NSA Eyes Social Networking Sites
Seeded on Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:37 AM EDT (CNET News.com)

Seeded on Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:25 AM EDT (The Miami Herald)
I guess South Florida can finally call itself world-class, for it has its very own porn expo. Miami Beach, home to more timid events such as your average car show, is holding the Exxxotica porn industry expo this weekend, and The Miami Herald has the details.

Seeded on Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:13 AM EDT (The Miami Herald)
It seems one can't go more than a few days without finding a news story on stupid robbers. This one was caught after using a taxi cab as his gettaway vehicle.
Harris' chief of staff is stepping down
Seeded on Sat Jun 10, 2006 4:11 AM EDT (The Miami Herald)
I won't beat around the bush here, but U.S. Rep. Harris is a local who I have never liked, so any bad news on her end is good news to me.

U.M.D. D.O.A.?
Fri Mar 31, 2006 2:50 PM EST
You might have heard of of a little plastic-encased optical disc called a "universal media disc", or UMD. There have been more than enough advertisements for the format. More likely than not, though, you don't actually own any UMDs. Why is that?

Six Ways to Fix MySpace in 2006
Sun Jan 29, 2006 11:53 AM EST
MySpace, you've hit critical mass. A giant media conglomerate owns you, every major-label band has a page, and you're sponsoring events and concerts all over the nation. It's time to realize that you're not a grass-roots little social networking website anymore.

Rumsfeld disputes readiness study
Seeded on Thu Jan 26, 2006 12:28 AM EST (CNN)
From the commencement of operations in Iraq, I wondered how come we deployed so many troops during Desert Storm and so few this time around. Apparently, my confusion was warranted.
Universities launch 'badware' pruning initiative
Seeded on Thu Jan 26, 2006 12:20 AM EST (vnunet.com)
I suppose this is a step in the right direction. The difference between virii and adware is that where a virus is made by someone who obviously doesn't respect the law and adware comes from companies.
More BellSouth customers go all wireless

Seeded on Wed Jan 25, 2006 11:52 PM EST (The Orlando Sentinel)
Fortunately, it appears that the "housing bubble" might end up in a real-estate market slowdown instead of an all-out crash. This could mean slower interest rate hikes for mortgages and new houses being dumped on the market, making this a buyers market.
Home prices fall in Miami-Dade and Broward
Seeded on Wed Jan 25, 2006 11:36 PM EST (The Miami Herald)
Well, it appears the "housing bubble" might finally be starting. South Florida has long been one of the housing markets leading the industry, and if consumers are beginning to balk at South Florida's inflated prices, then perhaps the industry will follow.
Future American Lawyers to be Proud Of
Seeded on Wed Jan 25, 2006 11:25 PM EST (insomnia.livejournal.com)
Bravo! To head off the inevitable scoffing Conservatives, using their own tactics, I'll say this: Anyone who scoffs at these students is unpatriotic and obviously hates America.
Wired News: Jobs vs. Gates: Who's the Star?
Seeded on Wed Jan 25, 2006 11:16 PM EST (Wired News)
It's about time someone puts the stereotypes in their place. I used to be a Microsoft basher, until I realized it was Apple (mostly Steve Jobs) secretly becoming the "evil empire".
