| Selling synthetic fabrics with sex Posted: 21 Mar 2011 12:24 AM PDT  This 1952 Saturday Evening Post ad for no-wrinkle synthetic fabrics from the Continental Oil Company is pretty explicitly sexual, considering the era. Either that, or the subtext of wet shirts and smirking, hose-toting male scientists has changed rather a lot in 60-odd years. |
| Posted: 20 Mar 2011 03:34 PM PDT AT&T is to buy T-Mobile USA. Both GSM networks, the hoped-for result will be better coverage, though yeah, right, whatever. But it'll take a while. And that's assuming regulators don't nix the deal. |
| Epublishing Bingo card from John Scalzi Posted: 20 Mar 2011 12:09 PM PDT  John Scalzi's Epublishing Bingo card captures nearly every tedious talking point from nearly every side of the epublishing debate. |
| Haunted Mansion interactive queue in Walt Disney World Posted: 20 Mar 2011 11:34 AM PDT Here's a sneak peek at the new interactive queue area for the Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World; it's the latest elaborate playground to be incorporated into the wait area for a major ride (Winnie the Pooh and Space Mountain also have their own themed waiting areas). The queue for the Haunted Mansion has always been rather good -- I have vivid memories of waiting by the huge double doors one dark night in 1977, six years old and so deliciously scared that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But I'm pretty excited by what I see here; it's full of trufan stuff, but also full of stuff that's fun even for people who aren't obsessed with the ride.

| Campaigning politicos to Sarkozy: Please don't endorse us! Posted: 20 Mar 2011 12:23 PM PDT French campaigning politicians from Nikolas Sarkozy's UMP party are leaving the party logo off their campaign materials and begging party leaders not to campaign on their behalf. They're hoping that voters forget that they're standing for election on behalf of one of the least popular administrations in France's history. |
