  • Christopher Hitchens Letter – It's a shame that we will lose this spokesperson before his work is done.
  • Update on PlayStation Network and Qriocity – User information stolen. This is going to be a HUGE problem for a lot of people. If you use the PlayStation Network or Qriocity, READ THIS and weep.

  • Randi’s Challenge to Homeopathy Manufacturers and Retail Pharmacies – "In a video statement…Randi joined hundreds of consumer advocates in more than 25 countries in exposing so-called homeopathic remedies—scam medications with no active ingredients that are sold by major retailers with no warning to customers. Demonstrators around the world swallowed homeopathic products by the handful, in a worldwide day of action inspired by a lecture by James Randi in which he downed an entire bottle of homeopathic sleeping pills to show they had no effect." Watch the video on randi.org.
  • Magician James Randi, skeptics launch attack on makers of homeopathic "drugs" – There's a whole lot of stupid in this world. Nice FACTUAL write-up on Rani's war against homeopathy in the LA Times.
