– Like that other demi-god Oprah, Google takes a side in this tense, farcical battle for America’s future.

– Speaking of Google, check out the drool-worthy exposure T-Mobile’s getting on its homepage. (It’s probably worth mentioning that Google serves over 71 percent of searches in the US.)

– By the way, did you know McCain’s a Ford and Obama a BMW? Think on that while casting your ballot.

– Who should pay for sponsored texts? Verizon’s threat to charge marketers raises the question.

– American Airlines’ new advertising makes enemies, not friends.

– Why did the global economy melt like ice cream in the Sahara? Slate’s Daniel Gross points a big fat finger at the obvious* scapegoat: Starbucks.

– Got a minute? Blow it on Booty Juggler, a folksy octopus pirate juggling game that takes some concentration. The objective: juggle time bombs, and your toys, as other — potentially more important — items fall toward you.

* Actually, I would never have guessed.

Psychologists say the bond between a person and the dog that sleeps in their bed isn’t comparable to human attachment. It’s actually more stable, because the dog never withdraws affection as punishment, never keeps score, and never makes closeness conditional on performance.
