- Julian Sanchez wrote a witty piece yesterday about the Supreme Court's crap ruling on the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (whose very name signals its intention as an incumbent-protection measure). I've got little to add to Julian's piece but outrage. So does perpetually pissed-off Justice Antonin Scalia, who called the court's ruling "a say day for free speech." The ruling is a tribute to the genius who first coined the term "campaign-finance reform" to describe what, by any impartial observer's measure, are clearly infringements on the First Amendment. For god's sake, how the hell can you get away with limiting political speech of any sort, especially right before an election? |

- You know Wi-Fi has really hit the mainstream when art students use it in their performance art pieces: Students from New York's Parsons Design and Technology have built access points into bicycles and will use them to send emails from New York subways. The architects of this idea seem a bit torn between regarding it as performance art and pointing to its utility. There' |

- Just what the market needs, another chip maker: Cambridge Silicon Radio, traditionally a Bluetooth chip maker, said it will soon ship a combined 802.11a/b/g chip. The company is apparently trying to leave us in suspense by saying it will offer improvements in speed, size, "or" |

- There are some good points here: A standalone voice-over-Wi-Fi phone is only marginally useful to consumers unless they just want to use it in their homes. Although this writer notes that VOIP offerings from the likes of Vonage enable cordless phone use, which pretty much defeats the purpose of the Wi-Fi phone. Outside of the home, the phone is only usable in hotspots, where are few and far between these days.... |

- This article is theoretically about combo Wi-Fi chips but really is filled with a bunch of misguided jargon: For instance, the writer comments that VCs have soured on putting money into Wi-Fi startups. I suppose it's all relative but I continue to see investors put money into Wi-Fi startups. In fact, some investors worry that too much money is flowing into the sector. |

- Barbecues will no longer be a regular stop on the campaign trail if a leading sociologist has his way. The expert says only vegetarians should be allowed to run for public office--including the presidency! "Bone-biters are too aggressive, too prone to physical violence and too quick to pick a fight," declares Dr. Anthony Weltz of Cleveland. "In short, they're unsuited to public office--and unfortunately, that includes our current President George W. |

- The government is to announce plans to move the principal members of the Royal Family outside London, The Eye Opener has learned. The move parallels plans by Chancellor Gordon Brown to sell off some prime buildings in central London and halve office rental costs by relocating between 20,000 and 30,000 civil servants outside the capital. Douglas Ramsbottom, a spokesman for Mr Brown, noted that there is no longer any defensible reason for civil servants to be physically located near to their political masters in the capital. "We'll give them phones and computers, and arrange video-conferencing, so they can be in touch from anywhere in the UK," he said. "And we think it's only fair to treat the Royals in the same way. |

- As part of the ongoing trend toward replacing U.S. workers with foreign labor, the marital duties of United Carborundum CEO Howard Reinhardt have been outsourced to his Mexican groundskeeper, industry sources revealed Monday. "It was time for a change," said Reinhardt's wife Melanie, who has been married to the CEO for 17 years and has conducted her sexual business almost exclusively with him since 1984. "While I was generally satisfied with the level of servicing that I received under Howard, it was my feeling that a younger, more aggressive hand on the tiller might bring some new ideas into play. |
