First they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

It seems in 2011 the Federal Universal Service Fund (USF) tax went up from 12.9% to 15.5%. So that explains why my phone bill mysteriously went up. After all who doesn’t love higher taxes?
This article does a good job explaining some of the failures of the Mac App Store.
So I just updated to Mac OS X 10.6.6, which includes Apple’s new amazing App Store. But as soon as I launched the store, I couldn’t help but notice the absolutely horrible placement of the window controls. After seeing this, and the changes Apple made to the window controls in iTunes 10, I think it’s safe to say that Apple is pulling the plug on standardized window control placement. So much for user interface standards. I expect this sort of thinking from Adobe, not Apple! And don’t even get me started on the completely horrid App Store icon.
With people like this in the government, who needs terrorists?
