Nobody’s been able to figure this out yet. Are they doing it because they’re tired of iphone references? Maybe they’re doing it to get people used to increasingly being censored for no reason, because then they won’t object when they’re censored for a reason. Or maybe they’re just doing it because they can.
..’m leav..ng th..s blog fucked up to show how bad myspace sucks balls. All the letter ‘..’s turned ..nto two l..ttle dots. Ser..ously…. what the bloody fuck? Just retyped the blog sans letter ‘..’. Do you fuck..ng know how annoy..ng that was? (from one of the links in the article)
For whatever reason, Myspace has installed a filter that replaces all instances of the letter ‘i’ with ‘..’. Looks pretty stupid, and a lot of people are pissed.

Men might throw their weight around at the office, but at home, women are the bosses.
A study, which was just released, finds that wives have more power than their husbands in making decisions and dominating discussions.
“The study at least suggests that the marriage is a place where women can exert some power,” said lead author David Vogel, a psychologist at Iowa State University (ISU). “Whether or not it’s because of changing societal roles, we don’t know.”
The results counter past research.

Poll: 92 percent want ‘country of origin’ labels
You’d better believe that’s what I want. I go to the supermarket and look at Smithfield (read: giant corporation) pork, the only kind available. It is marked “natural”, which according to the label means it was grown without hormones. Excuse me? I also want my meat grown without being fed Chinese industrial waste.
In China…
Also Wednesday, the government ordered small, loosely regulated food producers to clean up their act and announced stricter rules for approving new drugs, a day after the former head of its food and drug agency was executed for accepting bribes in exchange for letting fake medicine into the domestic market.

It looks like Sydney, Australia has come up with a different sort of anti-speeding campaign. As wannabe macho speeders drive past, women of all ages wiggle their little fingers, the universal symbol of tiny penises.

Well, after linking his personal blog to this story about a countersuit against the RIAA for a variety of harassment type allegations, Andrew Dubber was threatened with a lawsuit by the RIAA, which also threatened to file a formal complaint with his employer.
Was it not sufficiently clear that everybody who has an opinion on the subject thinks they’re a bunch of Nazis? If not, I guess it’s clear now.

By a margin of 52% to 43%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he wiretapped American citizens without a judge’s approval, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
Just an update.
