Commented on Famous Swedish poet explains why he's voting for the Pirate Party
I voted for the PIRATPARTIET! From Florida thanks to a write-in ballot for Swedish citizens living abroad. I voted for them in the 2006 Swedish general election as well. Hopefully with all this momentum they should be able to get...
Commented on 1800s surgical kit unboxed

Commented on CES: Palm Lives! Introducing the multitouch, slide-out keyboard Pre smartphone
It all depends on what actually comes out first, this or the G2 on Sprint. As I've mentioned in previous posts, the Treo 755p is the worst Palm model I have ever had (out of 5 different Palm models). I'm...
Commented on Palm Death Watch: Revenue falls 41% short of projections

SamSam commented on Post one of Australia's banned links, get fined AU$11,000/day

@ #15: When Google is notified by a government (or individual, or organization, or whatever) that it is illegal to link to such-and-such sites in a country (and if this is indeed probably the case) Google typically removes the links from any search results in that country's Google domain. That is, Google.com and other countries remain unchanged, and only that one country's Google-dot-whatever stops including the locally illegal links and adds a message at the bottom of each search-results page mentioning that some links have been excluded for legal reasons in searches where this is the case. (It is then...
