Linkspam loves ibuprofen
Baaaby meerkat!
Language Log discusses the dispute between Apple & Microsoft over who owns the words "App Store". I love my Macbook and iPod, but seriously, Apple? Seriously? ::facepalm::

I just can't fathom why Disney thinks turning Miss Marple into a young woman is a good idea. I mean, that she's an old woman, seemingly fragile, and apparently easily discombobulated, is the point of the character. Making her a 40-year-old hottie defeats the whole exercise.
This is a really lovely story and photoshoot of Jasika Nicole, who plays Astrid on Fringe.

My life, so complicated! Woe!
