Yeah, ask again - what liberal media bias? ... FTA - "Democrat Barack Obama has had about a 3 to 1 advantage over Republican John McCain in Post Page 1 stories since Obama became his party's presumptive nominee June 4. Obama has generated a lot of news by being the first African American nominee, and he is less well known than McCain -- and therefore there's more to report on. But the disparity is so wide that it doesn't look good.
In overall political stories from June 4 to Friday, Obama dominated by 142 to 96. Obama has been featured in 35 stories on Page 1; McCain has been featured in 13"

FTA - "But the $14,000 payment to Hunter is significant because its source was Edwards' OneAmerica political action committee, whose expenditures are governed by U.S. election laws. Willfully converting money from a political action committee for personal use would have been a federal criminal violation." ... Edwards, getting what is coming to him ...

FTA - "Experts say conversion to IPv6 has stalled because there is little economic incentive for hardware vendors and ISPs to do so, despite the fact the upgrade itself is relatively easy and inexpensive for ISPs. "Users are simply happy with their services," Spenceley says. "They don't see a problem with their Internet access so why would they pay more for [IPv6] which will essentially deliver the same service?""

FTA - "And for those of you familiar with the local tech scene, you'll recognize the company's new CEO: Tom Patterson. You may remember him as the former head of Command Information, an IPv6-focused firm in Herndon. He was a staple at Washington area tech events for a while as well.
I had a brief chat with him this afternoon to get more details. The "container" allows content to be packaged in a way that provides a "richer experience," he said.
"Instead of just having a song, it comes in a container that's chock full of extras," he said. "A musician can include lyrics to the song, liner notes that typically come in albums, upcoming tour dates. They can integrate merchandise into the same container.""
