Gas Price Map

Originally posted on April 24, 2006 @ 10:23 pm

I just came across a website with a really cool mapping feature that allows you to see gas prices from across the nation. You can zoom in and drag it around similar to Google maps. It gives you a pretty good feel of what others pay for gas.

The only good thing about high gas prices for me is my car gets 33 MPG on average and at $3.09 a gallon for the low grade, I get a little bit of a break. I wish the prices of gas would come down. The cost of living is already really high.

What would you do if you pulled into your local McDonald’s drive thru, ordered your food and when you got to the window so you could pay, you saw George Mc Bush?

Hehe… so funny but creepy at the same time… and now off to McDonald’s in hopes to meet George Mc Bush :)

Net Neutrality Amendment Dies, Supporters Continue Battle

A congressional committee drew rapid fire Wednesday after killing an amendment to preserve network neutrality.

A coalition that drew together the Gun Owners of America, the Democratic-leaning organization MoveOn, and several of the country’s top technology CEOs, blasted the committee with a news statement announcing, “House Ignores Public, Sells Out the Internet.”

U.S. Dismisses Google Complaint

Earlier in the month I posted about the Google-Microsoft Rivalry where Microsoft has made MSN the default search engine in Internet Explorer 7.

On Friday Government regulators dismissed claims that IE7 gives Microsoft’s own search engine an unfair advantage, knocking down objections that Google recently raised.

Although IE 7 may default to MSN’s search service in some cases, it doesn’t violate the terms of Microsoft’s antitrust agreement with the federal and state governments.

The text of the status report can be viewed on the Department of Justice’s Web site. If you want, you can download it in PDF format here.
