Ben Goldacre: The food supplement industry's stifling of debate is far from democratic | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
Nothing could be more anti-democratic or stifling to debate than using money, law and power to regulate what can be discussed, and yet those who do it have the gall to represent themselves as the outsider, the little man, concerned with the medicine of the people. In reality they behave like nothing more than commercial entities.

Ben Goldacre on the medicalisation of everyday life | Business | The Guardian

Why Microsoft and Intel tried to kill the XO $100 laptop - Times Online

Logistetica - Our list of top web design studios in the world
Great list of web design agencies/studios - the majority of whom are the types who produce wanky flash websites that resize your browser window, force you to wait for a minute while they load their poncy animation and eat up CPU. These people just don't get the internet.

I despise the kinds of sites these people make. The 'back' button is my saviour.

If these new lightbulbs are so good and so cost-effective why not just leave it to the free market? This kind of government intervention just stifles innovation.

BBC NEWS | Magazine | Are you going forward? Then stop now
There is so much more to object to in "going forward". It clings to the tongues of speakers compelling them to utter it again and again. It is a grown up equivalent of the word "like", which seems to trip off the tongue of the average teenager every two or three waking seconds.

Pentagon tells Bush: climate change will destroy us | Environment | The Observer
It doesn't seem to occur to the reporter that the Pentagon has a vested interest in predicting global warfare due to upheaval caused by climate change. Another example of the appallingly low journalistic standards that accompany much of the reporting on g

Stephen Fry » Blog Archive » Getting Overheated
Sigh. Stephen Fry lets the side down with a poorly argued case for rushing headlong into action to counter-act the effects of anthropogenic global warming. And he also invokes Godwin's Law.
I'm with commenter Baz.
