[Archived in Entry]

[Geekzone: IT, mobility, wireless, handheld and pocket pc news] America Online, Inc. has released the results of its E-mail Addiction survey, which takes a look at how millions of Americans treat their e-mail. The survey asked users about their e-mail habits, including things from how often they check personal e-mail at work to whether or not they've ever checked e-mail while in church. The survey found that e-mail users today rely on e-mail as much as the phone for communication, spend about an hour a day on e-mail, and that 77% of e-mail users have more than one e-mail account: the average user has 2.8 accounts.

[Mediamatters.org] Media Matters for America: A Media Matters for America review of major newspaper coverage of the past two days has found that, with the exception of The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Reuters news service and the San Francisco Chronicle, the print media have largely ignored the White House’s rejection of a bipartisan call for greater consultation on federal judicial nominees. White House spokesman Scott McClellan indicated that President Bush had no intention of changing the process by which he submits judicial nominations to the Senate, notwithstanding the clear statement from the bipartisan groups of 14 senators that further consultation is needed.
