4. Nebraskans, did you vote for this guy????
5. Is it possible to laugh and cringe at the same time, cuz I am.
From the article:
"A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served.
The suit against God was launched by Nebraska state senator Ernie Chambers, who said he might appeal the ruling. "

Residents of Miami-Dade recently heard a public service announcement encouraging them to drink their tap water and reminding them that bottled water doesn't go through the same stringent testing as tap water. It's a good message -- so good that it's got corporate water baron Nestle shooting off geysers.
Nestle wrote to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WaSD) and told them: CEASE AND DESIST with your advertising campaign. AND promise you'll never do it again.
Nestle just assured us in a public forum they aren't competing with tap water. So why are they hitting a public utility with such strong arm tactics ? Is the consumer backlash against the waste of bottled water draining their $46 billion water revenues? Are the community wins against the bottler's fight to take control of community water making them nervous?

" Nokia has decided that touchscreens need a makeover, and a wet one at that.
Using water as a membrane in this concept handset, the phone's screen uses the liquid to raise and lower buttons in the relevant places. The main issue with touchscreens is the problem of accuracy when pressing the virtual keys. Haptic feedback, which produces vibration when the right area is hit, helps somewhat, but still doesn't allow for blind typing.
Other capacitive options use slightly raised screens in places to help users, but these lose the lovely flush nature of devices like the Nokia 5800 and the Apple iPhone.
The new concept can inflate and deflate as needed, which makes this gadget so futuristic it should be covered in foil and live on Mars..."
