Khaleej Times Online - Police, bomb-makers among a dozen killed in Afghanistan

I hate that some police officers were killed, but it makes me smile to know that two mullahs, affectionately referred to as “prayer leaders” in the article, were killed when a suicide vest they were making went off prematurely. I’ll bet scores of people were saved by these two asshats getting blown to bits. And if you keep reading, you’ll see that two other “millitants” were killed while trying to plant a mine.

iPhone OS 2.0.1 - Installed

I just finished updating my 2G iPhone to OS 2.0.1. Usually when I sync my phone, I skip the “backing up iPhone” stage because it takes too damn long, but tonight, I figured I’d better let it complete. That stage alone took over an hour. After the upgrade, the entire sync process took under three minutes. That’s a serious improvement. As for other changes, I haven’t had time to play with it yet. I will be sure to note any improvements or annoyances I find.
