*	Table of Malcontents [reports][3] that the bomb squads of Boston are "scrambling after a number of suspicious packages were left littered around the city." Turns out it's not a terrorist threat, it's an advertising campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

*	Cult of Mac [has a CNN][5] video that shows Bill Gates squirming as the show's host calls him out for copying OS X. Gates does indeed inhabit a parallel universe if he thinks Vista is the first time parental controls have been used. Or perhaps it's possible Gates has simply never used another OS and thus has no idea that the rest of world is way ahead of him.
