    Did Barack Obama really need to put his hand on his heart during the national anthem? - By Torie Bosch - Slate Magazine

    Didn't know this was law.

    Quoted: No. According to U.S. law, a civilian like Obama is supposed to stand up when the anthem is played, take off his hat, face the flag, and put his right hand over his heart. Members of the military can keep their hats on and salute instead of placing their hands on their hearts.

    Slashdot | Google Wins Nude Thumbnail Legal Battle

    Not sure why you would want to fight Google on this -- you would think the thumbnails would help drive *more* traffic to your site.

    Quoted: The verdict: "Saying the District Court erred, the San Francisco-based appeals court ruled that Google could legally display those images under the fair use doctrine of copyright law." This sets a rather hefty precedence in a search engine's ability to blindly serve content safely under fair use."
