Microsoft’s new search engine Bing.com is censoring searches in India (and apparently several other countries). Setting one’s country option to India and searching for the term sex, porn or even Kama Sutra is censored with a cryptic “THE SEARCH MAY RETURN SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT.

I finally watched Religulous tonight and I’m glad I didn’t go to watch it in the theatres. As much as I like Bill Maher and his show on HBO, I found this movie lacking any kind of depth. I’ve watched him do stand-up in Philadelphia and this movie reminded me a little too much of [...] Created by Train Horn I love FiveThirtyEight.com. I followed it very closely during the 2008 US Presidential election and I thought Nate Silver wrote well thought out and balanced posts.

I’ve had so many ideas rolling around in my head lately, but I think of them when I’m AFK and then I forget them. I asked [...] I’m back to the Pine St apartment for my second weekend here. A lot still needs to be done to get it in order. I’m glad I took the extra day off last week to get it in a somewhat livable shape. I’m just hoping I can sell the items that need to be sold [...] I upgraded the blog engine to Wordpress 2.6.1. As usual I started with a little trepidation. I couldn’t remember how to access cPanel on my site, and was unsure about how to back up the posts, etc etc. But true to their word, Wordpress is easy to upgrade! Just follow instructions here and bam! Awesome. I [...] |
