The technology behind the game
First, apologies for 2 days without updates. There was nothing worth updating for on Friday, and I just had no time for updates on Saturday. I’m still trying to catch up with my geek readings in the world. So expect plenty of updates tomorrow.
That said, here’s a cool article at Engadget about some of the technology that makes the Super bowl work.

House Republicans voting again
How did this even happen? I was always told only Democrats stuffed the ballot box.
House Republicans are taking a mulligan on the first ballot for Majority Leader. The first count showed more votes cast than Republicans present at the Conference meeting. Stay with RollCall.com for updates.

Telecom bigwig makes moronic statement
Really hard to explain all the potential problems with his desired outcome. Thus spoke AT&T CEO Ed Whitacre on the concept of charging content providers for running their content over “the telecoms’ pipes:”
That ought to be a cost of doing business for them. They shouldn’t get on [the network] and expect a free ride.
Ummmm, aren’t we, the customers of the telecom companies, already paying for the pipes? This is a bad idea, and if you agree, you should visit Common Cause and help in their fight against this.
