  • Spam - the obvious solution

    Jonathan Rauch on Slate discusses the only truly scalable and viable solution for spam control - that is reciepent determined rates for receiving email.

  • Edit and Continue

    There has been a lot of recent discussion over their reintroduction of  Edit and Continue. I'm personally very excited to have this feature again and really don't understand why some would be happy that this feature isn't available.

  • Reloaded

    Finally got to see it. It's really too bad - I just kept thinking "when will it be over".
