Sat, 25 Aug 2012 03:36:48 -0400

Lance Armstrong was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles late Thursday after he refused to fight allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs.

Mr. Armstrong notified the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that he wouldn’t fight the charges the agency brought against him in June, a move that, according to USADA, immediately strips him of all of his athletic titles going back to Aug. 1, 1998, roughly a year before his first Tour de France victory. USADA said Mr. Armstrong is also banned immediately from competing in Olympic and other elite-level sports for the rest of his life.

In 2010, The Wall Street Journal was the first to report that a former teammate had accused Mr. Armstrong of doping, which eventually led to the investigation by USADA.

Pussy Riot: The Girls Who Have Rocked Russia - The Daily Beast

Pussy Riot has indeed been that—a riot; sparking demonstrations, and a sympathy movement, around the world.

Earlier this month, Madonna had the band’s name written across her naked back at a concert in Moscow. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Peter Gabriel, Sting, and Franz Ferdinand expressed their support—all in vain, as the musicians remained in jail. Meanwhile, as sympathy in the West coalesced, Russian nationalists threatened to execute the punks for humiliating the church and Russian traditions.

“Clearly, Samsung had no Steve Jobs on hand to veto anything. Features that don’t work well are mixed in with the winners; features you’ll never use are jammed in with the useful ones. (Why on earth have the all-important, ever-present Android buttons — Back, Home, App Switcher — now been joined by a fourth one that takes screenshots? Does Samsung think people take screenshots as often as they go to the Home screen?)”

“

Samsung’s software designers must be former Hollywood art directors who fabricated alien spacecraft; Samsung’s apps are festooned with bizarre icons. None of them have identifying text labels, and their logos are frequently so unhelpful they may as well be random Cyrillic letters. Would you guess, for example, that to turn on handwriting recognition, you tap an icon that shows a circle in front of a mountain?

Some of the icons in S Note actually display a different menu every other time you tap them. I’m not making this up.
