Midsize Musings: Statement from Olivia Chow → tumblr.ryancoleman.ca

rcoleman:

Sixteen years ago, my husband went for a massage at a massage clinic that is registered with the City of Toronto. He exercises regularly; he was and remains in great shape; and he needed a massage.

I knew about this appointment, as I always do.

No one was more surprised than my husband…

File-Sharers Await Official Recognition of New Religion → torrentfreak.com

infoneer-pulse:

A group of self-confessed radical pirates are pinning their hopes on gaining official recognition of their own unique belief system. The founders of the Missionary Church of Kopimism – who hold CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols – hope that along with this acceptance will come harmony, not just with each other, but also with the police.

It's official, everybody has a mobile phone

Or, at least, 90 percent of Americans 13 years or older or 230 million consumers do according to a recent study! In the 18-29 age group it’s 96 percent. Also, older wireless phone devices are being replaced with smartphones, and it’s projected that 50-plus percent of mobile phones will be smartphones by the end of 2011.

Does this mean the end of the Internet? I doubt it. Only 38 percent of mobile phone owners browse the Internet, use apps or download content and although smartphone users account for 50% of that usage, that still wouldn’t create the critical mass necessary to take all of the action “on the road.”

What do you think?
