Despite her craziness, Ann Coulter has a fairly nice minimalist website (well, it looks minimalist). Although that quotations thing off to the side kinda ruins it, AFAIK it was recently added (I don't remember seeing it during to school year, when I last visited), so you might check the wayback machine.


Hrm not sure I agree, to my understsanding minimalism is all about making sure the main thing that draws your eyes is the content, here all of the stuff on the right is completely distracting from the content.


Click on any other page besides the home page and you might better understand his point. I also kind of went "huh???!!" on the homepage.



Was anybody else bothered by how every other sentance was in bold?


I think that the old adage "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic" is quite applicable here.


I suspect that now that Google is trying to compete directly with Facebook, they looked at wave and saw that it wasn't going to be adapted by many non-corporate users, so they reallocated the resources to something that would be.


How long 'til it gets to the supreme court?


Heads next to the Ninth Circuit, which will doubtlessly uphold the ruling. Then it'll be on to the SCOTUS, which is a very different court from the '03 bench that ruled on Lawrence v. Texas.


Not necessarily. SCOTUS is very particular about the cases it submits cert for. The 9th cir. may stand, although it's liberal reputation won't help when it comes to the modern conservative court.


Why would the SCOTUS want to get involved? Are they in the business of deciding whether state supreme courts are correctly interpreting their state constitutions?


Actually, had you actually read the ruling, you would have noticed that the primary foundation for the ruling was not the California state constitution, but the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses [US Constitution, Amendment XIV § 1].


Probably soon, but still a step in the right direction.
