Off topic but that leaning exlamation point made me feel a huge boost of nostalgia. Probably for the mid to late nineties when Yahoo was pretty awesome.

I feel like us Swiss german people have a leg up here. We grow up writing anything personal in our dialect (a language that doesn't officially exist in written form), so we're used to writing like we talk. I wonder if it has an effect on our more formal, business-related writing.

How does a system know wether a font is sans-serif or not?

These people profited from damaging one of amazon's biggest competitive advantages. Amazon is going to go throw the book at them and rightly so.

i'm actually excited about the new trackpad. i have some kind of a weird sensation whenever i use a silver trackpad, a sort of tingle in my fingers. this doesn't happen on the magic mouse's white surface... anybody know what i'm talking about? my friends think i'm crazy.

"Unfortunately, no single member of Congress represents these American constituents who together would rank, if a state, 12th in population size after New Jersey and before Virginia. By virtue of living abroad, they are second-class citizens, paying onerous tax burdens without representation."

Compare this to Switzerland that considers its citizens living abroad part of the "fifth Switzerland" (there are 4 official language regions in Switzerland). They can vote online (in some Kantons/States) and participate in government programs to keep in touch with or learn about their roots. All without taxation.

Of course, people here complain about citizens living abroad voting in local elections... Representation without taxation!
