Thank you, New York City:
Waiter: How would you like your hamburger? Medium?
Chick: They come in different sizes?
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world…
Looks like Bolton is living up to his reputation (Guardian Unlimited):
Mr Bolton, a long-standing UN critic who was given a temporary appointment by George Bush three weeks ago after the United States Senate failed to agree on his nomination, has proposed 750 amendments to the draft and called for immediate talks on them.
…
Mr Bolton has said the US would be ready to scrap the deal altogether if no consensus was achieved, leaving only a short statement for the summit to agree on, or to break the agreement into sections to give member states a choice of which parts to support.
Whether that is entirely to be blamed on him is not clear, but it’s certainly suspicious that this roadblock appeared shortly after his appointment.
Google is expanding further, now into Instant Messaging and VoIP:
They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world.
The sad part is that the only (beta) client they have is for WinXP/Win2K, the good part of it is that you can connect to their setup (for non-VoIP only) with clients that speak the Jabber protocol, such as Gaim, Adium X, iChat, … Time to create an additional Gmail account, I think.
