More and more I'm using this opening portion for personal reflections on what is generally my "public" blog. I hope you geeks don't mind.
Now on with the show!

- Inqurier.net: ‘Arroyo is untouchable - As much as I'm sure former president GMA is guilty of several crimes (as are almost all presidents of this country in recent history), the creation of the Truth Commission was a bit of a witch hunt that was poorly planned and lacked clear thinking. Now the Supreme Court has them on a technicality and people can't really complain about it - it's how the law works. That's how our rights are protected.
- CNN: White House seeks Democrats' backing for tax deal - I find it beyond ironic that first the Republicans were able to win the elections on a platform about reducing spending and bringing the budget under control. And then their first hard stand is about the Bush-era tax cuts for everyone, regardless of income levels. So now the Democrats have to shop around for support in order to get at least some of the tax-cuts through.
- io9: Judge Dredd script getting mixed early buzz? - A few months ago, a supposed draft script for the new Judge Dredd movie was leaked over the internet and fans were all over it. Until now, the discussions continue and there are a wide variety of opinions in terms of the new "Die Hard" approach to things that the story seems to imply. I haven't read it myself but given the comments, I'm a bit concerned. What about you?
- Lifehacker: Google Launches the Chrome Web Store and Updates Chrome - The new Google Chrome OS was announced yesterday together with the launch of the Chrome Web Store for web apps. That that iTunes store! Now for a web app store that's free of any particular platform! Well, at least from a desktop perspective.
And that's today's Daily Geekery. Catch you geeks tomorrow!
