It's twue, It's twue (Six Apart buys LJ)

Just recently posted to news:

Go here to read about it from Brad himself.

This was my favorite part:
"Why is Six Apart buying LiveJournal?
Lots of reasons:
Our companies are more alike than different.
We both use Perl.
Together we form super robot that's stronger than the sum of its parts.
Super robots can fight super companies.
They respect us, we respect them.
We have a number of features they don't.
We have experience with making "inward-facing" community sites, whereas their sites/products tend to be "outward-facing". They want some of that inward-facing action.
Because we're awesome."

"Why is the TOS and privacy policy changing?
Our old TOS and privacy policies apparently sucked, from a lawyer point-of-view. We never had lawyers create or really even review the old ones... they were just a hodge-podge of misc lawyer-sounding things people had collected over time. A lot of the things that were changed are actually now better for the users. We just needed to clean things up.

Our goal isn't to really change anything with the new documents... just make them legally correct.

We're putting up the new documents now so you have time to review them and compare them to the old ones. In a few days (to be determined) you'll be required to agree to the new Terms of Service before logging in or posting, etc. Sorry for the inconvenience ... it's a lawyer thing."

For them that cares, this is the current version of the TOS, as of this posting.

heh. Including mine (on page 4), there's already 346 comments. :)

Ronnie, Bobby, RIcky and Mike.. if I like the girl who cares who you like?

Aside from what Salma Hayek did for this song while wearing pink undies, I've really liked it in general.
Blame deadwinter for this one, since he started talking about Menudo, thereby getting _this_ song stuck in my head.
