Heavy metal song behind EU-US 'road to hell' spat : Business: "Prague - Mirek Topolanek, the Czech Republic's humbled premier, has conceded that his ill-timed remark suggesting the United States' measures to battle the global economic crisis would lead to 'a road to hell' were inspired by heavy metal band AC/DC. Czech media reported on Friday that Topolanek had told a television show that 'AC/DC played in Prague last week. And their cult song 'Highway to Hell' may have prompted me to use 'road to hell'.'"

In Google We Trust
In Google We Trust: "I chuckle when people tell me that they never use online services. 'Read the EULAs' they tell me. They can do anything they want with your data, don't you know! Yes, I know, and I don't really care. You see, I've sold my soul to Google. I let them know everything about me, and, in return, they give me all these super-cool web-based applications that make my life so much easier. It's a pretty good deal, if you ask me. It's not like I'm some kind of secret agent or something. For the price of my online soul, I get the Google suite: Gmail, Picasa, News, Calendar, Notebook, Bookmarks, Docs... It's great, it really is."
