When the Bush spokesperson blamed Newsweek for getting the story wrong -- about a secret government report that said American security people descrated the Quran at Guantanamo Bay, I thought "They'd better hope there's no report," because then they'll have to take the blame for the people who died in Afghanistan, the ones they said Newsweek was responsible for. Okay, now that the report is out, they're still blaming the reporters! Now that's chutzpah. BTW, not my fault, I voted for the other guy.

Russell Beattie says: "It seems like craziness. If they announce new Macs running x86 next year, not an intelligent being on Earth will buy a Mac for the rest of the year until the new hardware ships." That's probably why they'll announce Intel in addition to IBM, not instead of IBM.

Got an email from Dave Mansueto at Libsyn about a post here last month. He says that users can map their own domains to content hosted at LibSyn. That's a bit more trouble for them, but makes sure, as he says, that people use their service because they want to, not because they are locked in. Good work. If Feedburner would allow their users to do that (maybe they already do?) then I'd withdraw most of my concerns. No matter what I'm not comfortable that there's a rich company out there with an interest in incompatibility.
