Nearly a week after the election, the Washington post have come clean that their coverage was tilted towards President Elect Obama. Now they are only talking raw numbers, and not the actual slant of the articles written.
You have to go here to see how those stories were slated negatively against McCain, something like 57% negative to 14% positive, where Obama numbers were 29% negative and 36% positive.
The other thing I thought was interesting is that it seems that the Washington Post doesn’t think they are a left leaning newspaper, which is about as stupid as believing that Fox News is “Fair and Balanced”
I guess that is the Washington Post’s new tag line could be “Fair and Balanced about Obama”

Rumors were runing rampant this afternoon about Android coming to AT&T, but in all actuallaty is they are looking at it…
Meanwhile one of those scary things happened today, I actually have the somewhat same opinion about Android and the G1 as Steve Ballmer, and considering that I may have to reconsider my opinion towards the whole Android. Well even a broken clock is right twice a day…

It is real interesting to see all the anger directed at apple and att over whet they “wont” let you do with an iPhone, but where is the outrage over the inability to use POP IMAP or MAPI on the allegedly “Open” android G1. You are stuck with GMail/Google Apps, until someone decides to write an app the will handle the “Standard” email protocols.
Open as far as carriers go, nope not there either, pretty much gotta go through the same gyrations to jail brake your G1 from tMobile. Then there was the ire over the lack of 3G coverage, I live in Southeast Virginia, and do you know where the closest tMobile 3G coverage is… Freaking Baltimore, but with at&t I have 3G coverage or real good EDGE pretty much everywhere I go, Hampton Roads, DC and Eastern Shore to Philadelphia, and the only place I have coverage problems is the same places I experienced Verizon holes.
I have had my hands on a G1 and it is a POS, and I am not impressed.
The there is the whole tethering thing, and needing to jump through
hoops to accomplish, as well as violating tMobile’s TOS..
Its also just funny how every tool out there is jumping up and down about apple not letting Opera on the iPhone. So freaking what, Opera the least used browser next to lynx, Google’s Chrome passed it by in a month. And as I understand it, opera hasn’t submitted it yet.

It was announced the other day that YouTube is now banning Terrorism Training Videos, that is something that you’d think was pretty much a given in this day and age.
The real pisser on this is that Google/YouTube did not do this voluntarily, “The move comes after pressure on the internet search engine from Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman.”
My guess is that if you jump in bed with a totalitarian government like they did with the Chinese, maybe it would be a good idea to give those oppressed by that government to tools to break free from the communist chains.
