- The Pirate Party takes over hosting the Pirate Bay
- "The only thing we have in common with today’s politicians is that you can vote for us." First off... there's a pirate party? Freaking ARRRRR! (hat tip Download Squad)
- Violence rocks Thai capital
- This Al-Jazeera story paints it as basically over, but while this particular event is (and many red shirt leaders have either fled the cities or turned themselves in to try to stave the violence), a friend in Thailand says: "the majority want elections to count, and the minority is not willing to give up power. what do you do with that situation?"
- Wal-Mart still selling cadmium jewelry
- America's largest retailer knowingly selling bad stuff? Nah.
- IK Multimedia group buy
- IK sells SampleTank expansion kits for $50 apiece. Right now this "group buy" thing (thanks Groupon for inspiring everyone to do it, although it smacks of inauthenticity when a company is doing this itself) will get you 5 expansions for the price of one. If you have IK store points, then it's even less. (You get a free version of SampleTank with this)
