List: Floppy disk is 'save' and 14 other icons that make no sense

I personally like the description which features the #getoffmylawn hashtag. And for a taste of irony, for those who don't know what a hashtag is, you're too old. There should be a complimentary list for 14 icons that are new and don't make sense to the codgers. :-)

Obit: Carroll Shelby, of Shelby Cobra/Mustang fame, dead at 89

News: Yahoo CEO wrongly claimed to have computer science degree

What a d-bag. You're going to end up being a MAJOR CEO. You have an accounting degree. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. CS is WAY more respectable. But, lying? Like no one would find out?

How did anyone find out anyway?

Report: Hulu to start requiring Cable/Sat TV account numbers

Lame. If this is true, I will dump Hulu Plus even if HP doesn't require the log-in.

Study: Talking to yourself has cognitive benefits

Neat! I'm not (as) crazy (as I thought)!

Op-Ed: Why you should never, ever use two spaces after a period

I post this because....I use two spaces. All the time. I was one who ALWAYS said you have to use two. I'm doing it as I write this, mostly out of habit. There. Better? Feels unnatural. *SIGH* That's better, but I'll work on it.

Obit: Dick Clark dead at 82

Will be missed.

News: Teller (of Penn & Teller) sues magician for stealing trick

Interesting. Apparently, you can copyright a magic trick? At least he did the honorable thing, and ASK the guy to stop and try to work out a financial deal before suing.

He doesn't just tell him to quit or else. He offers to buy the guy out. Negotiations collapsed, so now they go to court to find a reasonable compromise...like it should be.

Sad: Somalia's soccer, Olympic chairs die in suicide bombing

So sad. They were trying to bring the country together through the sport. Cut down during a triumph.
