POPSUnited States Pushing International, Mandatory Copyright Laws. Guilty Until Proven Innocent! "* * Mandatory prohibitions on breaking DRM, even if doing so for a lawful purpose (e.g., to make a work available to disabled people; for archival preservation; because you own the copyrighted work that is locked up with DRM)" Now that is a worriying development. Let see the Teabaggers chew on this. Nah, it's a pro-corporate treaty which enforces American will on the REST of the world, so it doesn't set off the NWO alarm bells.

POPSOklahoma trooper chokes paramedic White state trooper imagines himself dissed by black ambulance driver, hunts the ambulance down, and before it's over, has has assaulted a paramedic, frightened the patient, delayed the ambulance, and harassed people he's sworn to protect.

POPSGrey logos When people add a bunch of logos to a web site it often looks unprofessional and cluttered. To make them all the same color - black and white - is a very good idea!

POPSObama's secrecy/immunity claims See link above for Olbermann video criticizing Obama's continuance, even expansion of secret programs. it is simply unacceptable -- no matter what else is true about him -- for Obama to claim for himself the very legal immunity and secrecy powers which characterized and enabled the worst excesses of Bush lawlessness. Yet in a short period of time, he has taken one step after the next to do exactly that.

POPSApple rejects South Park application The App Store is Apple's outlet, and they can refuse to sell whatever they want. But the company really should come up with a more consistent set of standards, and apply them to all its different products.

POPSBoing Boing: How I learned to love my persimmon tree Lots of good discussion in the comments - how to choose a persimmon, how to ripen them, things to do with them, why you do not want to eat underripe persimmons, and much more. Persimmons are a family favorite, and I guess we must just have dumb luck with ripening them - the problems people describe here with being unable to ripen them are all new to me. (For the record, the family persimmon-ripening method: Place persimmon stem-side down on the kitchen counter, not in direct sun. Leave it there. Pick up once or twice a day to check whether it's getting soft yet. *shrug* It's always worked for us - we've never needed any of the tricks people mention in this post's comments.)
