"Dec. 5 (Bloomberg) -- One in 10 Americans fell behind on their mortgage payments or were in foreclosure during the third quarter as the world’s largest economy shed jobs and real estate prices tumbled. The share of mortgages 30 days or more overdue rose to a seasonally adjusted 6.99 percent while loans already in foreclosure rose to 2.97 percent, both all-time highs in a survey that goes back 29 years, the Mortgage Bankers Association said in a report today. The gain in delinquencies was driven by an increase of loans with payments 90 days or more overdue." - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

"Records show that he was sentenced in San Francisco Superior Court in July on a drug conviction, but under a deal made with prosecutors, Gee was diverted to drug treatment rather than serve 10 months in jail. The conviction stemmed from an arrest in February, when officers found first a 9mm handgun in the trunk of the car he was driving, and later seven pounds of marijuana in the same trunk." - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

Time and time again, people found engaging in illegal activity with guns end up using those guns to kill other people. They found a 9mm handgun in this guys trunks and he served *no* jail time. People caught with illegal guns need *far* harsher penalties. Time and time again they get a slap on the wrist. Our legal system does not treat guns as seriously as they should. New gun laws are needed to better protect people like Nguyen whose children now must grow up without a mother. - Thomas Hawk

What an awful, awful story - Mike Doeff

Thanks. I was following some but not all of these people. Have now added a few more thought leaders to my feed. :-) - Herb

Click-bait ... and what exactly is the big deal about nudity anyway? - AJ Kohn

I really like Peoplebrowsr and think it fills the gaps so many people have been whinging about. - Nicola Quinn

Great Tom Hanks reference in "Big". - Kevin Whalen

I am still yet to check out PeopleBrowsr - Joe Dawson (beta)

You can watch this on Hulu, without waiting for Netflix to deliver this. - Anika Malone

It is not too bad for me on my PC to my HD TV of course anything not in HD is kind of crappy. Hulu looks better? I will have to compare if I have time this weekend. - Michael King

The 360 will do up to HD quality, an SD movie will probably look pretty nice :oD - Paul Reynolds

"That's easy -- quit and join a startup (if they'll have you)." - Dave Winer

The semantic web is really interesting. But I think it will take some time before it "happens". I've been using the semantic interest network Twine for awhile...quite cool, although the semantics are still a bit rough at the edges. - Patrik Johansson

"Semantic" will be defined as something much less than it is, and victory will be declared. - Cliff Gerrish

Models of social networks and semantic/conceptual networks will merge into a single knowledgebase on the World Wide Web. That is going to happen for a certainty, barring an asteroid hit or some other unexpected act of God. :) Everything is nicely on track to produce this technology. - Sean McBride
