TO GO WITH THE AMAZON CLOUD DRIVE, the Amazon Cloud Player. “In big music industry news, Amazon launched their Cloud Player service which enables users to store their music in the cloud (dubbed Amazon Cloud Drive) and listen to it from Mac, PC, and Android devices. This comes as a shock to most of the music industry as speculations about Google and Apple streaming music services have been circulating for a while.”
GOP FRESHMAN TO HARRY REID: “Your record on spending in the Senate is one of failure. You have failed to pass a budget, failed to restrain spending, and failed to put our country on sound fiscal footing. We do not accept your failure as our own. The American people did not send us here to fail.”

OBAMA UNDERWATER: “A new poll out this morning from Quinnipiac of over 2000 registered voters nationwide puts Obama’s approval level at 42%, the lowest in any Q-poll for Obama, with 48% disapproving. His re-elect number is actually even lower.” That’s because he’s been a miserable failure at pretty much everything. Even the NCAA bracket . . . .

So far, the changes are most visible at the grocery store, where shoppers are paying the same amount, but getting less.”

HOLMAN JENKINS: Medical Progress, Please: Your Next Melanoma, Courtesy Of The FDA. “Of course, nobody at the FDA is ever fired for failing to approve a device. So grating has the agency’s hyper-cautiousness become that, under prodding from university researchers and Congress, it recently rolled out a plan to allow speedier reviews very similar to the agreement struck with Mela Sciences. How this promise is supposed to now have any credibility is itself a bit of a medical mystery.” Make the FDA liable for all the people it’s killed via inaction or delay, and everyone there would be dead.
