Things I learned this week 15 Apr 2012

• SOPA may be dead, but the MPAA boss is quietly working on a sequel.
• ACTA may be bad enough. Watch for TPP.
• Microsoft just bought the patents to Netscape from AOL. Wow.
• The original Pledge of Allegiance written in 1892 did not include the words 'under God'. Congress added that in 1954.
• The defacto motto of the US in 1782 was 'E. Pluribus Unum' (Out of many, one). Congress shanged it to 'In God we trust' in 1956.
• Humans used fire 1,000,000 years ago.
• Facebook bought Instagram. Instagram users are not overly impressed.
• In 1992, they almost built a full-sized replica of the starship Enterprise in downtown Las Vegas.
• Pizza Hut will now have a hotdog filled crust. Just what we need.
• A major gasoline retailer is guilty of price fixing. Say it isn't so.... [sarcasm]
• A new Foxconn assembly line worker in Shenzhen making iPads makes $14 per day.
• Rick Santorum signed Up his 3 Year Old daughter for a lifetime NRA membership.
