SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE PIGEON-SIZED DINOSAUR THAT IS BIRDS EARLIEST ANCESTOR

SCIENTISTS REVEAL THE PIGEON-SIZED DINOSAUR THAT IS BIRDS EARLIEST ANCESTOR: "A strange pigeon-sized dinosaur that roamed the planet more than 150 million years ago was the oldest known relative of birds, say scientists.

BREAKING KNEES!!!

The world is a better place today.

Sure, I can be an a-hole, even loathesome. I have learned that it's good for people to hate someone who enjoys being a prick - so I am embracing it. I even despise myself sometimes when I find Skip Bayless agrees with some of the things I've thought (Eagles in the Super Bowl!). And am as big a Pats hater as anyone.

Sure, I've jokingly wished out loud that I wanted Tom Brady to succumb to serious injury - I even mentioned that it should be his knee (somehow, fate forgot that I mentioned this should happen at the ESPYs and that he should fall into Derek Jeter and injure his knee too, but 1 out of 2 is a start, I suppose). But other than Tim McCarver's voicebox I've never wished specific harm to any athlete or pseudo-celebrity not named Rachel Ray.

iTunes 8 and iPod Nano hot off the shelf

Steve Jobs kicked off the much anticipated Let's Rock event in San Francisco with a joke about how his death had been exaggerated. But things soon got serious with the news we had predicted about iTunes 8.

First up was confirmation that high definition television content is to be included in iTunes 8. Initially these will apparently be restricted to the US and cost USD $2.99 an episode.
