Upset by how your latest online interaction(s) turned out? You too can report it via this handy-dandy Butt-Hurt Reporting Form. Just don't ask me who you should report it to...your call.

2. The Washington Redskins naming debate
An interesting posting by Jeremiah Goulka over at Tomsdispatch which attempts to explain the two sides of the debate, but more specifically where the No Change side is coming from. Note that one of the fundamental challenges is that the Redskins owner is a person with an ego the size of a small star system, with a matching entitlement syndrome.

3. The Death of Expertise
A posting from Tom Nichols over at The Federalist that explains that, in an era where everybody can have access to information online, we have fallen into a syndrome where everybody can consider themselves to be an expert on any subject under the sun, no matter how little they actually know. Add the Dunning-Kruger Effect to that syndrome, and you have a pretty good explanation for the proliferation of so much weapons-grade Stupid on the Internets.

4. Wearing Google Glass? Think again...
Man goes to movie theater wearing (inactive) Google Glass because they have prescription lenses. He is pulled from the theater and questioned aggressively for hours by government and MPAA employees. It is not clear if he was formally detained; however, it was made clear that Bad Things Would Happen to him if he tried to leave. In other words, he was quite possibly illegally detained.
NOTE to the MPAA - If this is your idea of how to treat movie customers, you will not be seeing me at a cinema in future.

5. Texas Lawyer #1 - Patent Trolling, Texas Style
A Texas lawyer bought a collection of patents that he claims mean that he owns the rights to digital scanner technology. He has been trying to shake down small businesses with demands for $1000 or more if they use digital scanners. When the targets of some of the shakedown attempts contated the FTC, the holding company that owns the patents decided that (yes, read this carefully, it is not a mis-print) that they would sue the Federal Government. I admire the chutzpah of the patent owners, but I fear this will not end well for them. The State of Virginia is already suing them for deceptive trade practices.

6. Texas Lawyer #2 - the meltdown of Carl David Ceder
Courtesy of Ken White over at Popehat, the story of how Plano-based lawyer Carl David Ceder copied blog content to his own website, and when he was called on it, engaged in a public meltdown on the blog owner's Comments section, uttering all manner of utterly stupid and vapid nonsense mixed with threats.
Rule #1 of Holes surely applies here, as does The Streisand Effect. Carl David Ceder's search results in Google are going to look a lot worse in the next week or so.
