Removing Skype Call Link

How annoying that by default Skype makes all 10 digit numbers in browsers into hyperlinks with skype/call icons - even ones that aren't phone numbers, like purchase order #'s in reports.  Especially if you don't use Skype Out much.

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Manage Add Ons -> Disable the Skype ones

Coal Power is Better Than Oil

"To top it all, using electricity generated in large part by coal to power our passenger cars would lower carbon emissions -- even in Indiana, which generates 75 percent of its electricity with coal. Big power plants are so much more efficient than the gasoline engines in our cars that a plug-in hybrid car running on electricity supplied by Indiana's current grid still ends up more carbon-frugal than comparable cars burning gasoline in a conventional engine under the hood. Old-guard energy types have been saying this for decades. In a major report released last March, the World Wildlife Fund finally concluded that they were right all along."

Facebook Causes makes no money?

Supposedly nobody's making any money on Facebook Causes?  Only two have earned more than $100k.  So says the Washington Post / MSNBC, but now the article has been pulled?  No idea what that means, maybe somebody thought that was too negative...
