Chrome Updated TOS

So, if you haven't heard about the new Google Chrome browser... you're missing out. It rocks my socks.

Though a lot of people freaked out about section 11 in the TOS, which Google really just copied verbatim from it's other EULA's.

Some people worried it was designed for some malicious intent, but I'd say Google's response overwhelmingly suggests that this is not the case. Specifically, I'd say the response holds true to their #1 motto: Don't be evil.

At least that's my take on it.

Howdy Earl!

So, my writing teacher, wonderful lady - bless her heart - but she pronounces URL "earl". She has her doctorate, and hence, very educated... but when she calls it an earl, it sounds like she's an illiterate hick.

This site (and various other ones) suggest that earl is a severely improper pronunciation.

Goodbye, Earl, Helloooooo U-R-L

p.s. I would be curious what they call it in the military, they tend to make up sounds instead of letters, i.e. hummer, heebo (HBO)... etc.
