Yay for Thoughtcrime
Apparently we’re supposed to tattle on people for expressing concerns now. Welcome to Oceania.
From: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/
“There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”
Regardless of how you feel about Obamacare, this is getting scary.

Don’t believe me? Think this is just a hoax? Here’s the screen shot ( click it to embiggen):

iPhone 3GS Battery Day in Review
I know some people have problems with battery usage. I figured I’d try and see what kind of time I could get out of my phone on a typical usage day for me. I am going to TRY to avoid just fiddling with it, only texting, calling, and checking mail/web when not at a location that provides those services ( ie: websites on my work computer or email at home ).
Check after the jump for details. The “day” is starting at noon only b/c I was out with my realtor earlier this morning and wanted to get the battery to a full charge before doing this.
