Microsoft losing another market

In a sign that Microsoft is not as invulnerable in every market they enter as the anti-MS fanatics would like to claim, Nvidia has lost a lot of money on Xbox chips. The Register has a story about the seven million dollars the graphics chip manufacturer has lost on the chipsets sold to Microsoft. Since Nvidia's chips are the largest piece of the Xbox, they must be thrilled at the contract they signed with MS on this one. :-)

Radio Show gets stupid

Couple arrested for sex in cathedral

Even better - they were live on the radio at the time. Makes Howard Stern seem tame...

New slang?

When my sister said it, I thought she was being weird. Now I've seen someone else using the word, so it must be a known slang term. But, why would you say "spendy" when "expensive" is not much longer? Really, spendy? Of course, the two people I've heard use this term are from Minnesota and Iowa, so maybe it's regional (I can hope).
