News Article Roundup

First, my "best editorial of the week" - from the Rochester Post Bulletin:

and on a lighter note, a fun very short and cute "political" video from my mom:

Finally - wanted to mention that I'm 3/4 of the way through reading Steve Jobs' biography.  Fascinating.  The tech history alone would have been enough for me to like the book, but it's a great story too.  He was somewhat of a jerk (and he'd be the first to admit it) but he was certainly a visionary.  Most of us know what a splash the original 1984 Macintosh made, and more recently the iPod and the iPhone changed those industries.  But I forget/didn't really realize how much of an impact he had on the movie industry as the owner of Pixar.  Hard to imagine what animated movies would be like without Pixar the last 15 years.
