  • Citing the $2.5B breakup fee, this guy doesn’t believe Google’s buying Motorola for “defensive patents.” Very intriguing arguments, although I have no real way to evaluate them. Via @TimOReilly.
  • Ma Bell’s plan for AT&T-Mo LTE.
  • Serious Eats visits, enjoys Attman’s. FWIW, though, Baltimore no longer has a “corned beef row”–it’s basically just Attman’s and Lenny’s.
  • The BART cell-phone shutdown might be a harbinger of things to come in the US.

  • Two profiles of Republican Presidential candidates: the terrifying batshit Michele Bachmann and the relatively rational Jon Huntsman. Bachmann should scare the shit out of anyone with a brain–she’s got the crazy turned up to 11, but she hides it well, and lacks the flightiness of Sarah Palin.
  • I’ve seen these license plate readers on cop cars, but thought they were mounted radar guns. I don’t specifically have a problem with them–it’s information already displayed on your car.

    1. I want a print-quality version of the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness [Update: The Internet provides!]. NBC, get on it–you owe us for Outsourced. I only saw the pilot, but it was one of the worst half-hours of my life. So naturally, the show’s a hit.
    2. I also loved An Idiot Abroad, Ricky Gervais’ “travelogue” re-airing on the Science Channel (From the article’s comments: apparently, the Science version is sanitized. I’d suggest finding the original Sky1 version.). The show sends The Ricky Gervais Show‘s Karl Pilkington to the New Seven Wonders of the World, taking Gervaisian care to make him miserable. The deleted scenes are also worth checking out.
    3. I also want one of these Zzz records tees.
    4. Flava Flav: still fucking retarded, via @bengmark.
    5. The story of the Soloflex exercise machine involves time in a Colombian prison, assassins, and “the largest load of pot in history.”

    ]]>     That’s what New Glarus Brewing co-owner Deb Carey calls Chicago, before explaining:

    New Glarus pulled out, Ms. Carey says, because it didn’t want to participate in illegal business practices such as giving away beer to get bars to carry its products.

    Ms. Carey says Illinoisans constantly are urging her to sell her Spotted Cow ale here again, but she’s not interested. “Everyone has a hand out and everyone wants some cash, (free) beer or a discount,” she says. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s not worth the graft and hassle.”

    Ha ha, whores and pulling out. More seriously, the article’s a good look at pay-to-play corruption in the Chicago bar scene, where giants like Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors (an affiliate of SABMiller PLC!) pay “$10,000 per handle for only six months.”

    Also, read the article’s comments, which clarify some things chopped due to space constraints.
