Burglar cleans up (too)
I just read that one home in Palo Alto, California has been hit by one or more burglars four times in the last three weeks. The intruder also seems to have cleaned up the place on at least one occasion.
I'm afraid I don't live in a posh neighborhood with lots of goodies to steal, but if I give them my address and promise to leave an old toaster and a bit of a tip, do you think they'll come and do up the dishes and vacuum a bit?

Engadget ads
Am I the only one who is having trouble loading articles from Engadget? It seems that their ads don't load properly and my browser just hangs, so I'm not getting to read their material.
Actually, this is not a problem exclusive to the Engadget site. I often go to sites and find that their ads "break" the rest of their content when loading a full page of material. I'm not against having ads on sites at all. I do it with some of my own pages. But when ads take so long to load that they interfere with the rest of your content, it might be a good time to take another look at the underlying code.
