I didn't think it was going to happen but AMD and ATI are merging. The skinny can be found here, here, here, and um here. I have to wonder if this was planned before or after the Core 2 Duo. It seems likely before but it could be a panic reaction.

I know it's a little late but it's gold comedy.

Here is the study mentioned in the previous post from CNW Marketing Research.

This article uses a study to point out that currently hybrids are more costly overall than most non-hybrid SUVs, including the dreaded hummer. Using an example such as a Honda Civic hybrid is $3.238 per mile while the hummer costs $1.949 per mile. It's definitely food for thought. Hopefully as hybrids continue to be developed and changed and costs come down the costs per miles will significantly be reduced.

The Register has an interesting Q&A from an engineer who makes the case that the net neutrality argument could kill the internet.

I was doing some routine surfing when I came across these two articles on the web one about the results of Hamdan vs Rumsfeld in the Supreme Court. The other an article about how the republicans war on terror hurt our freedoms.
