- a man in drunken idiot mode jumps into a panda cage at the Beijing zoo and is bitten by the surprised panda. The man retaliates by kicking and biting the panda and gets bitten again. Dude, next time stay home and dial up a pandacam instead.
- Google is offering Adsense to a select few publishers to use in newsletters and mass market emails. This is one of the few places where I actually support limited, by invite only testing. Please, please, please do not open this service to the masses, Google.
- And while we’re G talking, Google Analytics now allows up to 50 profiles (domains) instead of 10 [Inside Google via Cristian Mezei)]. I learned recently that a privacy policy is required for each site that uses Google Analytics, and this is a part of the Terms of Service many sites are not following, including this one up until yesterday (see Hmm Privacy Policy). Here’s a handy Privacy Policy generator you can use to stay in compliance. I found it necessary to tweak a few things for this site as some of the statements don’t match what we’re doing here. Overall though, it’s a handy timesaver and better than having nothing at all.

- New question to ask when buying laptop: was the battery made by Sony? Toshiba the newest in line to recall batteries made by Sony. Some 340,000 of them.
- A 4-year old Bonzo? This kid has mad skills [watch video]. Let’s hope this isn’t some kind of YouTubeFake. Bonus: Mark Cuban likens YoutTube to the early Napster days and Napster looking to sell outright or a “strategic partnership”. Meanwhile, YouTube and Warner cut deal. Cuban updates his post and says it doesn’t change his opintion.
- Apple sells over one million worth of movies the first week
