Americans Care More About Gay Marriage Than Global Warming (TreeHugger) - 0 views

  • 1) Americans overwhelmingly believe that global warming is occurring. 2) They don't care. "dealing with global warming" came 20th out of 23 policy priorities. 3) They won't give anything up. The cost of energy is more important than global warming.

    I think it is funny too how faddy even belief in global warming and feigned care for the environment is becoming. I mean, literally over the course of 2-3 years we have gone from "global warming, what?" to "global warming, yeah that´s gonna screw us over". In a lot of ways I feel global warming has become the new excuse for things that go awry in the world. Especially funny to me are the people who do claim to care and are worried, but do not think about or make any lifestyle changes.

TSA can't believe MacBook Air is a real laptop, causes owner to miss flight - Engadget - 0 views

  •  
    The TSA has been known to take issue with products designed in Cupertino before, but for one particular traveler, it was Apple's thinnest laptop ever that caused the latest holdup. Upon tossing his ultra-sleek slab of aluminum underneath the scanner, security managed to find enough peculiarities to remove it from the flow, pull it aside and wrangle up the owner for some questions. Apparently, the TSA employee manning the line was flabbergasted by the "lack of a drive" and the complete absence of "ports on the back," and while hordes of co-workers swarmed to investigate, the user's flight took off on schedule. Thankfully, said owner was finally allowed to pass through after some more in-the-know colleagues explained in painfully simple terms what an SSD was, but the poor jet-setter most definitely paid the price for trying to slip some of the latest and greatest under the sharp eyes of the TSA (and cutting it close on time, of course).
