If you don’t want to upgrade to IE7, you should set Automatic Updates to download or notify, otherwise you’ll get it whether you like it or not. This could be as early as tomorrow, so get your skates on.
Justin Mason quotes and comments on an ICTE press release about NEDAP voting machines very similar to the ones chosen by Gov.ie for Ireland being hacked by a Dutch group that opposes eVoting.
Did you know that the Hollywood sign was originally built to advertise a housing development called “Hollywoodland” in the eary twenties? I didn’t!
As if you need another reason to love Iggy Pop, the veteran rocker (and his band The Stooges) have the single most entertaining concert rider TSG has ever obtained. The document–all 18 pages of which you’ll find below–describes Iggy’s requirements in terms of amplifiers, security, lighting, stage set up, and dressing rooms. But unlike most similar documents, Iggy’s rider is written in a rollicking, stream-of-consciousness fashion that delivers multiple laughs per page. Apparently written by roadie Jos Grain, the Iggy rider is peppered with witty gems, tasteless asides, and typos. For example, in describing how Iggy’s dressing room should be made to “look less like a typical rock & roll dressing room,” the rider suggests that promoters “just let someone loose with a little bit of artistic flair…Er, do you know any homosexuals?” Explaining the need for two heavy duty fans, Grain notes, “So that I can wear a scarf and pretend to be in a Bon Jovi video.” Also, don’t miss the backstage requirements of a Bob Hope impersonator and “a copy of USA Today that’s got a story about morbidly obese people in it. Most amusing!”
The title is cynical because, let’s be honest, SSO’s been done before; however I think Yahoo probably has a better chance of succeeding than Microsoft or Sun. Either way, it’s great to see Yahoo continuing to embrace open source and open ideas with BBAuth.
I still think YUI is the best documented Javascript UI library out there; although I have to confess I’ve moved to jQuery now for ease-of-use and speed.

The president-elect, 19 year old Billy Pustule of Green, Ohio, reached via SMS at the garage apartment by his mother’s house in which he currently resides, said he was “real psyched about being the president” and “had big plans for the inauguration party”.
