“groovy mother...”

Dear Boing Boing, If I wanted half-assed rumours, guesses and pointless speculation relating to yesterday’s VT shooting, I’d turn on any of the 24-hour “news” channels. In the meantime, I’m reactivating my Xeni filter.

I ♥ tapirs!

My best pipe so far — Boing Boing’s RSS feed, but without Cory and Xeni’s constant self-promotion, and Mark F’s plugs for Make Magazine.

Read this Cory rant about a proposed Firefox feature that would allow advertisers to track click throughs in an opt-outable manner, then count the number of undisclosed un-opt-outable click-through mechanisms in use by the horde of advertising links littering the page. I counted five (boingboing.net, clk.atdmt.com, adserver.fmpub.net, c2.edapebaf.com and click.adbrite.com)

*Jawdroppingly* idiotic rant from Cory, trying to draw anti-DRM points from a completely non-DRM-related security flaw in iTunes. Is it my imagination, or is his signal to ranting-clueless-fuckwit ratio dropping of late?
