Rumor has it that Starbucks is giving away free coffee on March 15th between 10am and 12 noon.

[digg http://digg.com/tech_news/Google_Fails_HTML_Validation] Anyone ever noticed that Google's home page won't validate correctly? That's pretty bad for a simple page with a simple form. Or wait, blogger.com is full of spam sites and Adsense can't get it's SSL Server Certificate correct.

As you may be aware, we have a VIP program here at wordpress.com. This allows folks with high traffic sites like Robert Scoble's blog or Web Worker Daily to not have to worry about their sites getting overloaded from traffic. Added benefits are unlimited bandwidth, load balancing, Akismet spam protection, adverts, plugins, your own theme, and other goodies.

Looks like CNN has their Fortune blog here at wordpress.com now. It's called The Browser.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A street near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is back open after Charlotte-Mecklenburg police blew up what looked like a pipe bomb.

The bomb squad blew up the device found in a convenience store dumpster around 10 a.m. The clerk at the store at the intersection of University City Boulevard and John Mark Road found the cylinder wrapped in black tape, which was attached to what looked like a timing device.

Investigators now say it was not a real bomb, but they have no idea who put it there or why.
