Commencements are under way. No hotel rooms in Boston. No bother, all we can think about is technology news: 

Programmer’s Guild psyched to teach American lawyers about the evils of H-1B.

Word’s getting around that the feds can’t just take data without a warrant. Bush counts days, couldn’t care less. 

Neil Young keynotes at JavaOne. Even dresses up for the occasion. 

Military accidentally buys $3.5 million in bogus networking equipment. Next, skimping on safety. Oh, wait…

MSM Monday Round-Up

Maiden voyage here for this MSM (that’s mainstream media) Monday round-up. Inspirational props are due to Slate’s “Today’s Papers,” all the Gawker sites and everybody else who thought to do this before us.  But the short of it is, this is what caught our eye in the fishwrap this week. 

Cracking the bottle against the bow: 

“Touchscreen? Full browser? Who’s gonna buy that?

“If it’s broke, we’ll fix it. But it will never be broke.”

E-mail voting for the troops?  I mean, it’s not like we’re going to be there for four years.

I CAN HAZ MY LNGWGE BK?!?

Muxtape.com is cool. But nothing beats an old-fashioned mix-tape for showing her how psychotic you are.
