But if I do the search on Google.de, it doesn't ask me if I only want only German results. Speaking of foreign languages, if you speak French, you might like this french Google Weblog.

Typical.), but this one takes the cake. Rebelscum reader Jason from Toronto wrote in that he found all the LEGO sets pictured above at the East York Town Centre Zellers, but that isn’t the best part. It would appear as though the chain is preparing for the big event on April 2nd by clearing out all their older LEGO sets With a buy one, get one 50% off sale! This of course is including all the new stock their more illiterate employees are stocking the shelves with.

To Make Online News Look Bad?

Is Online Registration For News A Ploy
To Make Online News Look Bad? 09/17/2004 02:31 PM
These days, I very rarely agree with anything written by John C. Dvorak, who seems to be spending his time not really understanding what's happening in technology. However, his latest column has an interesting theory. We've been talking a lot about how many newspapers have a backwar ds thinking policy requiring registration just to read the same AP and Reuters stories everyone else has. The public claim is that they're doing this to give their advertisers more data about their visitors, but the amount of dirty data that goes into these databases suggests that doesn't make much sense -- and could get them in legal trouble. Others point out that online editions are really doing this to get email for the sake of selling their mailing lists to marketing spammers, which does make some sense, though isn't a particularly well thought-out strategy for long term success. Dvorak's take, however, is that newspapers are doing this to keep people out on purpose. The idea is that newspapers want to play down their online operations, to show that their paper editions are still much more important. He believes they don't want the online editions to be profitable, as that would mean serious changes for their business. If true, this is an incredibly stupid position, basically trying to convince themselves that news isn't moving online when it really is. It's even worse than just not believing what's happening -- it's working to screw up the data they use themselves in figuring out what's happening. Honestly, though, this seems unlikely. It would involve too much thought. It seems, more likely, that the push towards online registration is from newspapers who haven't really thought the issues through, but who think this will somehow pay off.

Americans increasing use of internet for
religion 04/09/2004 04:01 PM

Americans are increasingly using the internet for religious purposes, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project .

The study's findings include:

64% of the nation’s 128 million Internet users have done things online that relate to religious or spiritual matters. ...
Those who use the Internet for religious or spiritual purposes are more likely to be women, white, middle aged, college educated, and relatively well-to-do...
The “online faithful” are devout and they use the Internet for personal spiritual matters more than for traditional religious functions or work related to their places of worship. But their faith-activity online seems to augment their already-strong commitments to their congregations.

While it is now clear that many netizens use cyberspace to affirm their faith, it is less clear to what extent Americans are using the net to explore other religions.

Americans increasingly learning about
election by internet 01/16/2004 10:56 AM

Americans are increasingly learning about election information via the internet, while decreasingly relying on traditional media, according to a new study . The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that newspapers and both local and network television news programs were losing ground to the internet and cable programming.

The Internet, a relatively minor source for campaign news in 2000, is now on par with such traditional outlets as public television broadcasts, Sunday morning news programs and the weekly news magazines.

Demographic shifts appear, partly by age :

[y]oung adults were leading the shift, with one-fifth of them considering the Internet a top source of campaign news for them, said the poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Political News of the Week

Political News of the Week 03/22/2005 04:54 PM

I'm too discouraged by the US Senate decision to authorize drilling in the ANWR to talk about it. The NRDC says there's still hope and advises what to do about it. Here's the rest of the week's important political news: Bus h Now Produces His Own Ready-to-Broadcast Propaganda -- just in case Faux News and the other media outlets don't get his spin quite right. Now your station doesn't need any reporters or any news budget whatever. Just roll the prepackaged government productions. And if you're smart, you can even get kickbacks from the government for doing so -- it's all the rage these days. Bush the Small Animal Torturer -- an interesting editorial by David Podvin suggests the real George Bush has a life-long record of cruel and psychopathic behaviour. A little over the top, though there is evidence that torture of small animals as a child is a hallmark of future criminal and psychopathic behaviour, and there's also a long history of psychopaths striving for and achieving leadership positions. Salon Weighs In on the End of Oil -- Robert Bryce provides a balanced accounting of what oil reserves actually are. Most compelling: Increasing evidence that OPEC, whose share of global remaining reserves will soar past 50% in the next few years, is pushing its production capacity to the limit, and, as Algeria's energy minister, Chakib Khelil, said, "OPEC does not have the production capacity to increase its quotas." Historically, these kind of supply/demand tipping points precede huge price shifts. The US Energy Board has raised its annual estimate of average wellhead prices for 2005 oil from $29 (last year's estimate) to $50. Like all commodities these days, expect prices to yo-yo, but inflation, here we come. Wolfy' s Plan to Topple OPEC -- In related oil news, Greg Palast reports for the BBC and Harper's that new reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show Wolfowitz, Chalabi, Bush & Co planned long before 9/11 to topple Saddam, seize Iraqi oil and sell it off to private oil interests. The more pragmatic corporate oil oligopoly balked at the last part of the neocon plan, saying that destabilizing OPEC was in no one's best interests, and preferring instead a state-owned oil company that the US would effectively control. On the losing end, Wolfy has now been banished to the World Bank, a place better suited to his megalomaniac tendencies. US Predicts Likely Terrorist Attack Areas -- Another document that Bush was trying to keep under wraps, but was inadvertently posted on the Hawaii State Government site, lists urban nuclear devices, biotoxins in office complexes and bombs in sports arenas as the greatest threats, and says there are too may possible targets in each category to list. Blowing up chemical plants, bioattacks in airports, and infecting food animals with diseases or poisons are next on the list, which also includes three natural disasters (earthquakes, influenza epidemics and hurricanes), but has taken plane hijackings off the list because they're presumably no longer possible thanks to those brave and brilliant Homeland Security guys. Planning calls for about 1500 different, coordinated actions in the case of any of these incidents, regardless of where in the US they occurred. Bin Laden must be rolling on the ground laughing. Hey, does duct tape work when it gets wet? Former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Writes to Condi -- A savage op-ed by Lloyd Axworthy (whose campaign I worked on many centuries ago) explains to Condi Rice why Canada chose not to sign on to the US Missile Defence system. You tell 'em Lloyd. Help a Fellow Blogger -- Blogger Darren Barefoot is fasting for 30 hours as part of a WorldVision project to raise money to defeat world hunger. I've pledged some money to help, and would encourage you to do so as well.
