Do no evil?

by Charles Cooper
A bizarre story is making the rounds about Google supposedly whitewashing a blog written by one of its employees.

Google Blogoscope reported that a blog authored by Mark Jen got yanked after he dissed some of the company's internal employee policies. I phoned up Jen a couple of time this morning to verify the story, but all I got was a recorded message. So far, no callbacks. Mark, if you're reading this, you have my number. Let's tawwwwk!

Even odder, Google's cached copy of the site has vanished into the ether also. But there is a Yahoo version that you can peruse.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
