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.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
— Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

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?

RiSC future: The failures of the Mac App Store's UI, and that of its app, Twitter 2.0
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.
