Reported by BBC News in US employee ‘outsourced job to China’:
The employee, an “inoffensive and quiet” but talented man versed in several programming languages, “spent less than one fifth of his six-figure salary for a Chinese firm to do his job for him”, Mr Valentine said.
Sounds great, but I’m too lazy to do even this.
Welcome to the new home of the world’s most popular canopener bridge. Since 2008 I have recorded dozens of trucks challenging the low-down meanest train trestle in America.

Amazon just closed her account and wiped her Kindle. Without notice. Without explanation.
I’ve been lazy lately about stripping DRM out of books we buy and sticking them in our archive. I think I’ll try to do better.
Perhaps, at least, the books weren’t wiped? Kindle user claims Amazon deleted whole library without explanation (See the “updates” section.)

If this is true, I’m pretty thrilled: MAD for the iPad
That will mean I’ll be able to never find the time to read it on my iPad, instead of never finding the time to read the print copies I get in the mail.
