Neven Mrgan's tumbl: Don't play The Tray →
Trying to “clean out” your tray is not a habit you want to get into. It’s pointless, and besides, you can never win - as soon as you run another app, in the tray it’ll go.

Ban McGwire from baseball →
Apparently we’re not so much mad that McGwire used steroids for all those years—because anyone paying attention already knew that—we’re mad that he finally told the truth about it. Mark McGwire deserves a ban from baseball more than any sympathy. I tend to disagree, but an understandable opinion. If McGwire’s admissions can serve any good now, it would be...
