To all the women out there- be careful. This man is so charming and can sweet talk his way out of anything. He is currently married to a Russian woman who is in jail. I am not sure what got her there. However, he seems to marry women who are not here legally. Of his 4 former wives, only one was here legally. He is currently on e-harmony, match, singlesnet, alt.com and spark. There may be other sites he is on. He will lie about anything and everything. He will promise you the world.

This summer Californians will be able to vote on Proposition 17, which if passed will allow insurers to bypass some legal restrictions on how much they can charge for auto insurance. Mercury Insurance Group is a big proponent of the proposition, but maybe that's because it's been possibly sidestepping the law in recent years anyway. Hey, making it legal will just prevent another state report like the one Carla Marinucci at the San Francisco Chronicle obtained, which contains findings that Mercury "has engaged in practices that may be illegal, including deceptive pricing and discrimination against consumers such as active members ...

The next time you stay at a bed and breakfast and you see a kindly old couple lingering in the common room after breakfast, be suspicious! The Wolffs have been scamming inns, hotels, rented homes, and bed & breakfasts since 2005, reports the Boston Globe. They offer to pay via check, and until recently--when they stayed in one place so long that they were still around when the check bounced--nobody ever thought they might be pulling a fast one. They're due in court this month for defrauding several inns over the past summer. "The Wolffs at the door" [Boston.com] [Link] [Cache]

If record labels decided to pull some of their songs from the Zune Pass service in the past couple of weeks, they did a poor job telling Microsoft about it. The company seems to be as in the dark as Zune Pass subscribers about why songs, albums, or entire discographies have gone missing. Ars technica reports that a Microsoft employee wrote on a Zune forum, "We are investigating your reported missing albums indicated in this post—and will come back to you as soon as we understand why they're missing."

Yesterday's Google super bowl ad was a cute story about a guy falling in love with a French lady told through his searches. The trouble is, they showed the autocomplete prompts and, as anyone who has ever used Google knows, the autocomplete suggestions can be, uh, kinda weird. So, of course, some the search suggestions have been edited out. Like one about making friends with black people. From AdFreak: If you look closely, you'll notice that some of the search suggestions that appear while the person types which can be notoriously bizarre have been edited out. In this ad, for ...

The Daily Beast has published a short profile of Jeremy Selwyn, a web developer in Massachusetts who runs the snack food review website Taquitos.net. Selwyn started the site about ten years ago, and now he has nearly 4.5 thousand different entries on various chips, candies, pretzels, and whatever else can be combined with salt and flavored powder. Naturally I immediately checked out the "Worst Chips Ever" section, which includes an awful lot of sea creature flavored abominations. Apparently sour cream and clam isn't a good idea for a chip.
