"Even as firms like Apple clung on to both the computer operating system and the hardware-just as mainframe companies had-Microsoft and Intel, which designed the PC's microprocessors, blew computing's business model apart."

"Pacific Ethanol's announcement of a corn-to-ethanol plant -- the worst form of biofuel there is [www.pacificethanol.net]-- was obviously written on a Mac and posted on the web without fixing the curly quotes and apostrophes, hence the familiar garbage characters."
"You left out the speech Obama gave in West Virginia with all the crackers behind him looking very sorry to be there, gazing off to the sides or looking down at their shoes, wondering "Why am I here behind this dark-skinned secret Muslim?" Very weird scene!"
