According to the article some believe it is a statement, others, like the judge, don't believe it is.  Marcus Messner, a journalism and mass communications professor at Virginia Commonwealth University who specializes in social media, said it was likely the matter would have to be settled by a higher court. "Going to a candidate's Facebook page and liking it in my view is a political statement. It's not a very deep one, but you're making a statement when you like a person's Facebook page," Messner said.

Back in Time: Old Time Radio Shows

Watched a movie last night. A romance, a great plot and of course, swearing and sex. How disappointing.  It really didn't improve the movie one little bit. It wasn't necessary to the storyline. When will Hollywood learn that crude language and endorsing sex before marriage is reasonable and acceptable?  I don't agree with it and sometimes it is worth finding something better.  But where?  Well, you can find it on the Internet!

Dropbox -  Windows? Mac? Blackberry? Available for almost all platforms, Dropbox set the template for many of these other services. First 2GB are free and it integrates nicely as just another folder on your Windows Explorer or on the task bar.
