The loss of 467,000 jobs in June, driving the national unemployment rate to 9.5 percent, is unwelcome news for the Obama administration, which has spent half a year trying to turn the tide of the economic downfall. Already the president has conceded that 10 percent unemployment is likely in America's future. But the job front remains a particular vulnerability for this White House -- the one major...

Under waves of ever-increasing competition from Mozilla, Safari, and Google, Microsoft has released a series of PSA-style online videos to promote Internet Explorer 8 .

Japanese band Sour has made a music video for the ages. Shot with actual fans performing concerted actions on webcams, this had to be one of the most difficult editing jobs in history. My mind blew a couple times. Utterly insane on Yooouuutuuube as well, as a commenter points out. This’ll be a great thing to [...]

If you haven’t taken the time to watch the Sarah Palin press conference from today, you really should. Take twenty minutes. I’ll wait.

Krugman was right again. Instead of taking a strong leadership position and insisting on a larger package, Obama played nice with the so-called "moderates" of both parties (i.e. morons who would sell their own mothers to feed their swollen egos).
