Daring Fireball: " The Exchange/Outlook platform is quite simply a menace not only to the organizations that use it, but to the world at large. People who do not use Outlook, who have never used it, are forced to deal with tens of thousands of Sobig-infested messages flowing into their mail spools.
That's scandalous. Microsoft bears responsibility, but so too does every single organization whose computers were afflicted. To respond to this by sticking with Exchange/Outlook is outrageous. I mean, what are the odds that this will happen again? I'd say they approach 100 percent. Truly, a matter of when, not if. "
Life and Deatherage: "This Wired article tells the story of Brian Robertson, a creative writer and journalism student. One day at Moore High School (Moore is part of greater Oklahoma City, just north of Norman, and is where both of the big tornadoes of the past four years went through), Brian found a Notepad file containing a paragraph called 'evacuation orders' about how to evacuate people in case of disaster. He thought it was interesting and turned it into a short story about an armed assault on his school."
Letter to Warner Brothers: A Night in Casablanca :
" It seems that in 1471, Ferdinand Balboa Warner, your great-great-grandfather, while looking for a shortcut to the city of Burbank, had stumbled on the shores of Africa and, raising his alpenstock (which he later turned in for a hundred shares of common), named it Casablanca. I just don't understand your attitude. Even if you plan on releasing your picture, I am sure that the average movie fan could learn in time to distinguish between Ingrid Bergman and Harpo. I don't know whether I could, but I certainly would like to try."
From the Boston Globe:

At first, I thought maybe the President's advisers were a big part of the problem. Last fall, in a speech on economic policy at the Brookings Institution, I called on the President to get rid of his whole economic team and pick a new group. And a few weeks later, damned if he didn't do just that - and at least one of the new advisers had written eloquently about the very problems in the Bush economic policy that I was calling upon the President to fix. But now, a year later, we still have the same bad economic policies and the problems have, if anything, gotten worse. So obviously I was wrong: changing all the president's advisers didn't work as a way of changing the policy.
From the Washington Post
Over his five terms as Vermont governor, folks there say, Dean grew more polished as a politician and more fervent as a public speaker. In person, they say, the doctor is charming and charismatic, inquisitive about ordinary people and their problems, attentive to his constituents, family, staff and friends.
