The week that was, in 10 URLs or less

Boy, for a sleepy summer week, it sure was packed with some interesting and controversial news. For example…

  • Google continues to defend its position on net neutrality. We question whether it’s actually defensible, but what the heck do we know?
  • Chris Anderson of Wired declares the web dead. Pundits debate this. The rest of us remain blissfully apathetic.
  • Congress, misremembering nothing, indicts Roger Clemens for perjury and other bad stuff, yet gives him a pass on murdering the English language.
  • The Ground Zero Mosque debate heats up. We won’t comment (you wouldn’t be able to hear us through our burkhas anyway), but local businesses support the idea.
  • Facebook wants to know where you are, and even put together a slick, tug-at-your-heartstrings video to convince us all it’s a great idea. Still, others are trying to protect you from revealing too much about yourself.
  • Nick Carr thinks we’re all getting dumb(er). So maybe none of this even matters.

Did we miss anything? Sure we did. Write in and tell us all about it.
