Newly re-elected Sen. Jim DeMint has some advice for the flock of conservatives heading to Washington: Congratulations to all the tea party-backed candidates who overcame a determined, partisan opposition to win their elections. The next campaign begins today. Because you must now overcome determined party insiders if this nation is going to be spared from fiscal disaster. Many of the people who will be welcoming the new class of Senate conservatives to Washington never wanted you here in the first place. The establishment is much more likely to try to buy off your votes than to buy into your limited-government philosophy. Consider what former GOP senator-turned-lobbyist Trent Lott told the Washington Post earlier this year: “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them.” Don’t let them. Co-option is coercion. Washington operates on a favor-based economy and for every earmark, committee assignment or fancy title that’s given, payback is expected in return. The chits come due when the roll call votes begin. This is how big-spending bills that everyone always decries in public always manage to pass with just enough votes. But someone can’t be bribed if they aren’t for sale. Read the rest of it here . The class of 1994 lost their way and eventually lost their majority. The class of 2010 needs to do better.

Sony’s PS3 Bluetooth headset sheds a few ounces and gets a slinky new outfit

The official Bluetooth headset for the PS3 has been around for a few years , still rocking the same $49.99 price point, still wearing the same “Wow, look at me, I’m a Bluetooth headset” design while others have gotten fancier , artsier and, well, better. Now Sony looks to finally be making an update, whittling the sides down make the new model look a bit more modern — while not actually going too far. The price is said to stay the same and overall the design looks much the same too, just pointier and featuring a daintier clip that should be somewhat less taxing on your ear as you spend hour after hour screaming at your SVER teammates who insist on staying back and sniping while you throw yourself at the Valor lines. If only they could see your cool new headset, maybe then they’d listen.

Qik integrates deeply into myTouch 4G’s hardware, Android contact book

Surely you’ve heard of Qik by now, right? It’s most closely linked to Sprint’s EVO 4G , but it looks as if the video calling service is now siding with another “4G” carrier: T-Mobile USA. Shortly after T-Mob tossed off the gloves and proclaimed to be ” America’s largest 4G carrier ,” Qik has come forward with an interesting tidbit about the newfangled myTouch 4G. According to it, the “integrated T-Mobile Video Chat powered by Qik will be the first to offer integration into the native Android address book with the benefit of indicating live presence allowing customers to connect with friends and family through live video conversations and video messaging over T-Mobile’s network and WiFi.” We’re even assured that T-Mobile Video Chat will offer “dramatically improved video quality and frame rates compared to other video calling solutions on the marketplace through deep hardware integration,” and users can even see if folks in their contact book are able to video chat at a glance — no trial and error necessary. We’ll be testing this stuff out in our upcoming myTouch 4G review, but be sure to let us know how it’s treating you in comments below. You know, if you’re an “early adopter.” Continue reading Qik integrates deeply into myTouch 4G’s hardware, Android contact book Qik integrates deeply into myTouch 4G’s hardware, Android contact book originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 03 Nov 2010 10:43:00 EDT.
