Saturday's Talking Points

  • According to Sports Illustrated, baseball player Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003, along with over 100 other players in the league. A-Rod is one of the best players in Major League Baseball, and is on track to easily break Barry Bonds' much-disputed all-time home run record.
  • Google and Amazon have announced that the over one million books in the public domain that they had made available for free on their websites will now be available on cell phones like the iPhone and the Android. Would you want to read a book on a cell phone? Can you see this becoming popular?
  • Scientists at the University of British Columbia released a study reporting that looking at the color red makes people more accurate, while looking at the color blue makes people more creative.
  • Actor James Whitmore, who played Brooks in the much-loved movie The Shawshank Redemption, died today. He was 87. Whitmore was here.
Hope all you groovy robots and yellow rangers are enjoying the weekend out there. I know I am.
