The first ever EINY competition has a winner in record time! It took Simon’s brain just 2.5 hours to come up with this gem. Well done Simon!

It’s childish I know, but I would love to see this picture with Bush’s face on Simpson’s body. Ten bucks to the first person who can come up with the goods (and a bonus $5 if you can change the text to something fitting).

First it was Safari. Now Niall Kennedy (Technorat’s community manager) blogs that the next version of Internet Explorer is set to have a built in RSS news reader. If you haven’t started using RSS yet it’s about time you dipped your toes. Here’s a previous post of mine about RSS with some helpful tips/links. Meanwhile, if you publish a blog and you don’t have a feed—get one.

Microsoft’s marketing message for its RSS integration is “Browse. Search. Subscribe!” They distributed jackets to all Gnomedex attendees and expect to see this message at PDC in September and other marketing venues.

Dean demonstrated Internet Explorer 7 and its built-in feed reader. Internet Explorer 7 includes an RSS button in the navigation bar when it discovers feed content in the HTML. A user clicks on the orange RSS and is able to view the RSS feed rendered in the browser. Clicking a plus button adds the feed to a common feed list

These CCTV stills show a failed suicide bombing attempt in Israel. They are meant to be “read” from right to left.

Wafa al-Biss, 21, approaches an Israeli checkpoint with 20lbs of high explosives hidden in her underwear. She changes into less traditional dress. And then tries to detonate herself. Thankfully the bomb doesn’t go off. And Wafa bursts into tears.

The Telegraph quotes her as saying:

“I didn’t kill anyone,” she wailed. “Do you think they will forgive me?”

My guess is “no.” They won’t forgive her. Why should they? (Via RogerLSimon)
