IMHO nobody with any sense would trust the default settings
A maxim you can apply to life generally.

who wrote an insightful column last week about the tensions between Facebook "friendship" and the needs of real friends
That she did.

Love the twatcockery, but the word must be "iPad". Remember the naysayers, the scorn, but now the ubiquity
Yes, it's literally everywhere. For instance, nobody I know outside of this place has one.

My most recent commiserbration was the 'bottle of bubbles each' commiserbration of my losing my Metro job.
What?! But but but... I had no idea. Commiserbrations are definitely in order. Much as it is entirely the magazine's loss.

They said what about Perl Healy?

From the leaked documents:
Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is "feckless, vain and ineffective as a modern European leader," according to a U.S. official in Rome. Another cable remarked on Berlusconi's "frequent late nights and penchant for partying hard."
The same officials have also remarked that the sea is wet.

You know what else gets on my tits? Public libraries.

So what he's saying is that Knowles didn't spend enough time justifying to the baying hounds of the collected meedja why he wasn't sending men to what's turned out to be almost-certain death. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Hey, it's not my fault if I'm ignorant, unwilling to get informed but still eager to make my opinion known and drive traffic to my blog.

I am all for twatcock although in terms of the competition this is tempered somewhat by the consideration that Tom Beard may be the single person in the world who's least in need of whisky.

I'd be in favour of denying Edwards the oxygen of publicity, but obviously that's just me.
More details on Royal Commission proposal. I'm a known Key apologist, but the preliminary talk seems pretty solid to me:
[Key] will take a proposal to Cabinet today for an inquiry into the disaster.
Yesterday he said there were "very hard questions to be asked and answered".
"In the end, the future of Pike River and actually underground coalmining in New Zealand rests on this," Key told TVNZ's Q+A programme. "We can't put people into environments that are dangerous."
The royal commission would be led by a judge and two others. Its work would be carried out in addition to inquiries by the coroner's office, the Labour Department and the police.
There would probably be "an international component" to the commission, which would in turn draw on international and local expertise and have "absolute powers" to subpoena witnesses, gather information, and ask questions.
The terms of reference for the commission would be "very broad", Key said.
