November 22, 2010 No Comment
Finished your holiday shopping already? That’s good news, but if you’ve made any purchases from the following list of goods you might just want to think about just going ahead and taping that gift receipt right to the bottom of the box. A survey from the British Video Association shows that digital photo frames are the least-wanted holiday gadget among those who consider themselves worthy of receiving gifts this year, beating out all-time flops like foot massagers, electric shavers, and those poor bread makers destined to make a single, crusty loaf before being permanently relegated to their box. Granted this was a survey of British holiday folks and so Ma and Pa Apple Pie may have somewhat different desires, but a quick poll among Engadgeteers confirms that digi frames do indeed fall squarely in the “no, really, you shouldn’t have” category. Oh, and if you’re wondering what you should get your loved ones this holiday season, we can help .

Photo: NASA Goddard Photo and Video , Flickr, CC The scene is set in a dark, foreboding world. A full 50% of the incoming Congressmen have made public comments asserting that global warming is not caused by man — if it’s even happening at all. Large swaths of the public continue to believe that humans have nothing to do with climate change. News outlets parrot information from sources that deny climate science. All seems to be lost. But fear not. Enter the

“Salvadoran Immigrant Ingmar Guandique Found Guilty of Murdering D.C. Intern Chandra Levy [12:45 p.m. ET]” That was the breaking news headline that was blasted to my inbox from ABCNews.com regarding today's murder conviction of the suspect in the 2001 murder of the former congressional intern for then-Rep. Gary Condit (D). In the Associated Press story by Matthew Barakat at the ABCNews.com website, there is no mention of the fact that Guandique is an illegal immigrant nor of the fact that he is involved in the ruthless gang Mara Salvatrucha , more commonly known as MS-13. This despite the fact that numerous news reports during Guandique's trial noted that he often wore turtleneck shirts in the courtroom to hide his gang tattoo. You can clearly see that gang tattoo in an April 2009 file photo ABCNews.com included in their breaking news story. See screencap below page break: read more
