Lists: AFI's 2009 Top Ten Movies and Top Ten TV Series

News: Nook opened, hacked, rooted

Developers have opened the Nook. In the physical and operating senses both. After accessing it via the Android Dev Kit, it's basically a Android computer, with a FREE cellular modem and a battery that lasts days, not hours.

Holy crap. Something has GOT to be wrong here. Sampling error? Something.

Op-Ed: The '00s: Goodbye to the Decade from Hell

From the submission - Bookended by 9/11 and a financial wipeout, the first 10 years of the century will likely go down as the most dispiriting decade Americans have lived through since World War II. Funny stuff.
