What's your favorite section of the Sunday paper? If you're at all like me, you flip to the comics first. I can't think of a better content-type that's ripe for RSS. (…)

And I quote: “The G5 is going to go to 64 bits, and it's going to change everything.” Excuse me, but what does this political pundit know about technology? (…)
