Keith Olbermann SUSPENDED From MSNBC Indefinitely... →
This is so ridiculous. Let’s keep up those illusions that people don’t have opinions in the media. Next step: tell all reporters not to vote. BIAS!

MacBook Air + Full Screen Chrome + Tab Overview
My new favorite thing: running Chrome in full-screen mode on the 13-inch MacBook Air. This with the Tab Overview feature enabled in Chrome’s experimental features makes for a pretty perfect browsing experience. Three-finger swipe down brings up all of your tabs in an overview.
