It’s weird to think that, back in the days of the 1990s, Microsoft was often derid- ed as the “evil empire” of the corporate and technological warfare. Some would argue that Microsoft still is an evil empire like the Soviet Union. There are plenty of gamers who rip on them for their perceived failings of the Xbox 360. So who’s the United States, the other superpower in this technological Cold War? That would be Google. But even though I’ve made Google the U.S. in this analogy, do not assume that I consider them to be the shining white knights here. In a way, Google scares me a lot more than Microsoft because of the power and influence it is able to exert. As a member of a profession that is slow- ly dying, I have the right to have a personal

I would be interested to see it after what happened Saturday, as Southeast Missouri running back Henry Harris slithered through Eastern defenders for 179 yards. At some point I should have started counting how many tackles Harris broke, but I never did. On many of his big runs, he might have broken as many as three or four if I remember correctly. is is absolutely ridiculous.
