John McLaughlin Still Pushing the Hillary in 2012 Nonsense

Click here to view this media John McLaughlin wrapped up part one of his year in review show on PBS with pushing the rumor that Hillary Clinton might run against President Obama in 2012 even though that has been put to rest for some time now by Clinton herself who said she’s not running for another elected office. Pat Buchanan quickly threw water on the idea given that Secretary Clinton has a WikiLeaks problem which David Corn wrote about here at Politics Daily . I’m surprised McLaughlin hasn’t decided to pack it in yet given he’s 83 years old now. The sad thing is PBS could always manage to replace the show with something even worse when he finally retires.

Logitech says Google hasn’t asked it to halt Google TV production

It was a bit too late to fend off a more than 3% drop in its stock price, but Logitech has finally come out and refuted those rumors that it was asked to halt production of its Google TV hardware until a significant update could be rolled out. As VP of corporate communications Nancy Morrison explains, Logitech “has not been asked by Google to suspend production of its Google TV products,” and that such a suspension wouldn’t even be necessary as “every Logitech Revue companion box will receive free over-the-air updates whenever Google and Logitech release software enhancements.” That statement has now also been backed up by Logitech’s official blog, which assures customers that “all’s well with Logitech Revue,” and that Logitech will be out in force at CES next month to demonstrate “how Google TV is transforming the TV-watching experience.” Logitech says Google hasn’t asked it to halt Google TV production originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 27 Dec 2010 17:54:00 EDT.

You know who you are, hipsters. You’re the kind of person who isn’t satisfied with merely taking a photo of your Pabst Blue Ribbon with your iPhone 4 : you have to make it old timey before you Tweet it, Facebook it, Instagram it, print it out and mail a physical copy of it to your best friend from the third grade… oh wait, that last one’s just us. Well, you’re in luck: you can now pretend like your brand new, high def videos are also from the olden days, just like your faux old timey photos.

Ford is Bringing Stop-Start Technology to Non-Hybrids in North-America

Hey Ford, I think you need a better graphic designer. The SUV looks like it comes from a GIF file, and the logo on the left isn’t even centered. Image: Ford Cars That Truly Stop at Red Lights Stop-start technology, aka anti-idling or idle-stop, turns off the engine of a vehicle when it stops at a red light or in traffic. This makes a lot of sense since you get 0 MPG when idling, but unfortunately, it hasn’t been available in North-America except in hybrids. But that’s about to change: Starting in 2012, Ford will bring stop-start to its conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, with the eventual goal of offering … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Pat Buchanan Predicts Palin Will Get the ‘Pole Position’ in the Republican Presidential Primaries

Click here to view this media After Eleanor Clift pointed out that there’s no way Republicans want to see Sarah Palin nominated for president because she doesn’t have a very good chance of winning, Pat Buchanan names her as his “Person of the Year” and thinks she’s got the “polo position” for the GOP primary. Looks like Uncle Pat’s going to stick with his grifter girlfriend until the bitter end when she claims the horrible meanies in the “lamestream media” unfairly forced her out of the race.
