Mmm, dark chocolate. I just discovered the Reese's peanut butter cups in dark chocolate last weekend. Heaven!

Via CNN link:

The group says on its Web site that Hutaree means "Christian warrior." Its home page said it is "Preparing for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive."

Say it with me now: christian terrorists.

burns like teen spirit

It's not consumers who aren't impressed with the iPad, it's (some) tech journalists, many of whom make it their business to never be impressed by anything.

Are you calling me a liar, Hecht? Fine, you're right. I fixed it.

"...Murphy says the fad involves kids using Axe Body Spray to light themselves or their clothing on fire..."

Early Rayon fabric was extremely flammable; hence it was called "mother-in-law silk." It's quite possible that some imported clothing items worn by boys or girls might not meet U.S. standards for flammability.

@2: Agreed, Baconcat. The insider they quote calling these Christian militia members as not Christians and not militia members is "a member of the Southeast Michigan Volunteer Militia." Yeah... he has no reason to try and distance his group from Hutatree at all. And CNN will apparently just eat up this No true Scotsman BS because they'll do anything to try and ram Christianity against its will (and the facts) into a better light.

did you guys see this article? http://bit.ly/aUx1io
CRAZY. tasering pregnant women for speeding is apparently court sanctioned in seattle

also, court declares genetic patents for BRCA family of genes to be outside the purview of patent law: http://bit.ly/dnSOh1

Jonathan Golob, write about this! (please)

er - the hutaree 'christian' militia are the type of christian that seems to be all too common these days... christians who pick and choose what bible verses to live by and think nothing about discriminating against/harming other people because "the bible tells them to" even when it doesnt. They're domestic terrorist....

And about the kids lighting themselves on fire? thats not a new fad, its been around for at least the last 5 years, my friends used to use perfume though, not axe. did the same thing... but we weren't stupid enough to do it at school. idiots.

Megan, it's fine to bash potential assassins - but that give you no right to bash the South or Tennessee!

@11: Permission granted, Megan. Carry on.

@11 How did I bash the South or Tennessee? I bashed HIM for perpetuating a stereotype. I love Tennessee. I was just there. I have the Goo Goo Clusters and Moon Pies to prove it.

wait so we're the only ones playing with fire?

@6, I'll bet most imported clothing meets higher standards of flammability than US products, laws or no.

We used to set our hands on fire with lighter fluid -- burns beautifully for a few seconds, but goes out with a shake when it gets hot, and makes the ladies squeal in horror, than which there is no higher achievement in sixth grade. Axe probably smells better.

@13: Nice wiggle out.

Dark chocolate and iPad dominance ftw!

Woo Hoo!

Next up - light rail!

it's just whiny whiny tech geeks who are being crushed by the market rush to the sweet sweet iPad as the invisible hand of the marketplace destroys their dreams.

Got Betamax? Tough.

@9 - yeah, that was sweet too. oh, by the way, GWAS is dead (genome wide association scans for genetic markers), it's being replaced by NGFS (next generation family studies) or some acronym like that - science just leaped forward 10 years today.

I still don't get the collective consumer Pavlovian drool-producing response to the iPad. Sure, it's thin and sleek looking, but it can only run a single app at a time, can't recognize handwriting, can't run Flash - in fact, it can't really seem to do much of anything except emulate an iPhone at a larger screen resolution. My two year-old HP tablet can do all this - and oh, so much more - but, you know, it's not an Apple product, so evidently, clueless consumers could care less.

It's like Jobs & Co. have totally sold a certain segment of the mobile computing market on the notion that they should buy a rotary dial telephone instead of a smartphone because it'll be simpler to use...
