AlterNet: MediaCulture: Turning a Blind Eye to Wi-Fi: "Broadband internet is the electricity of the 21st century -- and the rest of the world is poised to leave America in the dark."


I almost didn't want to post this from a leftest site like alternet.org, but it was too well writen. So read this article (kinda long) then setup a host file entry that points alternet.org to 127.0.0.1 to avoid coming back to this site.


Full Disclosure: Please ignore the moveon.org banner at the top of the site. Sorry again. But it is a well writen article.

The Young and the Restless: Ep. #8294 - TV.com: "Nikki is surprised to see Brad's ring on Victoria's finger, and Sharon is furious to learn that Brad and Victoria are engaged. Scott wants to become the bait to catch Sheila, but Michael insists that Lauren wouldn't want that. J.T. is upset to find Mac and Kevin sleeping on the couch, with Kevin's head in Mac's lap. Brad is shocked to learn Ashley has been arrested for Tom Fisher's murder. John finally wakes up"

Did anybody really expect to see Brad and Victoria together? Did they even consider Sharon and Nikki feelings? And what is the deal with JT Mac and Kevin? Are Mac and Kevin really an item? But I was glad to see that John after all this time Finally woke up. He's presence was really lacking fromt the show. I sure hope he can set Brad and Victoria stright.
