Oil Six Inches Under The Sand

As we stare at our HD tv's mounted on their tv stands, I think we are all shocked at what we see.

A trench dug by a group of USF geologists shows a continuous layer of oil about six inches beneath the surface of Pensacola Beach near Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Google Remotely Wiping Apps?

Can you imagine if the best acne cleanser worked behind the scenes like Google does?

Google has remotely removed two free apps from several hundred Android phones because the apps misrepresented their purpose and thus violated Android developer policies, according to a company spokesman.

Rut Ro. When you make the decision to invade the phones of Android users and take apps without their knowledge, you are scum.

I guess those users were lucky their operating systems weren't replaced with Palm software or something. heh.

Bill Hudson Dies

Bill Hudson, an Associated Press photographer whose searing images of the civil rights era documented police brutality and galvanized the public, died Thursday in Jacksonville, Fla. He was 77.

Hudson was in Birmingham, Ala., when black demonstrators defied a city ban on protests in 1963, and police turned their dogs on marchers, and again in Selma, Ala., when fire hoses were officers' weapon of choice.

Besides his wife, Hudson is survived by a sister, Sharon Garrison, of Laguna Beach, Calif.

Rest In Peace, Bill.
