Gotta hate those “hoe killings”…

Cadbury Gets Sued by 3 Taste Testers - Food-Notes.com
“Maureen Zuccarini, Donna Magliaro and Stefanie Bonfiglio sampled flavors and sweeteners that go into products like Trident gum, Swedish fish and Certs breath mints, making $10 an hour by working their taste buds. In mid-March, while they were still in training, their class sampled an experimental high-intensity sweetener that Cadbury hoped would be the next big thing in flavor. Instead, it left them with oral lesions and chemical burns that they say are affecting their ability to taste normally and eat certain foods without a burning sensation.”
Well… that’ll teach you to put things in your mouth that haven’t been “approved for use” yet. I mean, really… some of the stuff that has been approved for use wouldn’t go in my mouth. But someone says ‘hey… eat this… it’s good… unofficially, of course’… and yeah… I’m alllll over that…
Firefox Sets New World Record For Number of Software Downloads
Mozilla officially set a new Guineess World Record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. 8,002,530 downloads to be exact. I have two computers… so without my downloads it’d only have been 8,002,528.
And that’s nowhere NEAR world record material…
LOL! This is great! Another slap in the face for journalists. Between their declining TV ratings, their plummeting newspaper revenues, and the BREADTH of alternative sources now available, mainstream journalists must just be completely aghast at what’s happening here to their significance! Especially the older ones, all those cranky old elitists and self-infatuated curmudgeons who thought they had it ALL and now have to watch it all rot away right as they live and breathe — ah ha ha ha!
- Idiot commenter on TechCrunch
I’m not a huge fan of the media myself. But if we tear them all down, what are we left with? Bloggers? Citizen journalists? Sure… those have a place in the grand scheme. But I sure as hell don’t want places like TechCrunch being my primary source of news.
