More religious erosion of the First Amendment

It’s not enough that churches rake the money they do from parishioners, operating tax-free, now they are suing to get public taxpayer money to fund their so-called “universities”…

The most recent case involved Colorado Christian University, a college of 2,000 students in suburban Denver where most students must attend chapel weekly and sign a promise to emulate the life of Jesus and biblical teachings.

Colorado Christian faculty must sign a statement that that the Bible is the “infallible Word of God.”

As if I needed more reason to distrust and dislike Christian organizations for moral hypocrisy, this is just piling on. If they want to push their agenda, I am pretty certain they will find that people will shove back. No taxpayer subsidized indoctrination!

The iPhone situation

I have been silently mocking the people lining up for the iPhone 3G since its release.

That said…

On the basis of synchronizing my GTD (OmniFocus) I would consider buying the iPhone since that is a truly productive thing my Blackberry is failing at. OmniFocus has an iPhone client w/sync that is very compelling but I don’t know how well it would work in practice without buying one.

Hmm.

Big Oil Wins

… as if anyone had any doubt they would.

Verizon FiOS going to eat AT&T's lunch

Finally Verizon is starting to take FiOS into AT&T territory. They’re doing it in Texas, and hopefully California (Bay Area) is one of their next choices.

Bad IT news stories redux

Reuters is running a piece titled: “One in three IT staff snoops on colleagues: study”

One in three information technology professionals abuses administrative passwords to access confidential data such as colleagues’ salary details, personal emails or board-meeting minutes, according to a survey.

And where does this information come from? A company called Cyber-Ark which, among other things, wants to sell you products like a password vault.

Not exactly credible.
