* Comcast will cap broadband data transfers for residential customers at 250 GB per month, after the mini-scandal over it secretly blocking BitTorrent / P2P traffic.

* On the middle-class salary, which is not $250k a year, with a dash of politics thrown in for good measure.

* Obama picked Biden, and McCain has picked Sarah Palin. A smart move on his part, as much as I hate to admit it; he has a good chance of luring the Hillary-lovers who still dislike Obama, especially considering McCain's age and health history. Personally, I'm not swayed because pro-life and conservative outweighs gender.

* Via ellen_kushner, two touching firsthand articles about gay marriage: We'll Marry Each Other as Often as Needed, and A Marriage Form Will Just Be Icing on Our Cake.
