Digg users right to freedom of speech, 50,000+ diggs strong!!
I calculated the overall number of diggs (and counting), of stories one way or the other related to the HD-DVD story, that made it to the front page and were submitted just after Digg’s own “DIGG: What's Happening with HD-DVD Stories?” post submission and here are the stats: More than 50K+ diggs overall and more than 45K+ diggs on the front page.
Digg's picture of the Year [PIC]
With all the iPhone drama and unlocking drama. I felt this picture truly sums up the comedy in all this.
PLEASE Digg this story up. This boy needs help, get his story out PLEASE
A 5-year old Iraqi boy was doused in gas and set on fire by insurgents. His disarming smile has been disfigured by scars. He has become bitter and spiteful since his January '07 attack. Get the word out there; his story has to be told.
Man Arrested after Saying No to Prostitute
It was Rocio Palacios who first noticed the woman who appeared to need help.
HD-DVD key fiasco is an example of 21st century digital revolt
It's the most circulated number of the week. Sixteen hexadecimal digits that unlock the wonder of most currently released HD-DVD titles from the surly clutches of the AACS revenue content protection system. Sixteen digits that have been posted in so many places -- and in many cases, removed only to be reposted -- that they're hard to avoid.
Digg this if you're tired of IE costing you money! (no ads involved)
i'm tired of losing time and money hacking my 100% standard code to work in a half-assed browser. digg this if you want to help get a massive shift away from IE compliance and if you won't tolerate their lack of standards anymore, IE 5, 6 AND 7 are to blame.
An open letter to iPhone owners from Steve Jobs
We have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.
Scientists cure cancer, but no one takes notice
Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada found a cheap and easy to produce drug that kills almost all cancers. The drug is dichloroacetate, and since it is already used to treat metabolic disorders, we know it should be no problem to use it for other purposes.
Digg Needs a Picture Section
Lately there have been a good deal of stories reaching the front page that are nothing but pictures (usually ones sported as funny and/or witty). How many other people think pictures deserve their own section, as not to clog up the topics for news articles. Digg this story if you agree.
Woman tries to buy all of the iPhones at a store and gets owned.
This woman brought $16,000 to try and buy all of the iPhones at a store in Dallas to sell them on eBay. She pays a guy $800 for his first spot in line. Once the AT&T store opens, she is told there is a limit to how many she can get! The guy walks away with free iPhone.
Digg Its Been Almost 3 Months, Can We Get A New Comment System Now?
It has almost been 3 months and the comment system still as horrendous as the day it came out on June 21st. It is buggy, slow, ugly and annoying as hell to read. It is fairly hard to fallow a conversation. Digg can do better. Digg this up if you want the comment system changed.
pic of Aqua Teen "terrorists" laughing in court
Honestly, God Bless these guys, the picture says it all. This thing was harmless and the Boston authorities over reacted, the news stretched the truth (what panic exactly?), and these poor guys get charged. Digg this to the top in support of Sean and Peter.

OFFICIAL: Barack Obama announces run for White House
After long speculation, this morning on Senator Obama's web site he announced he's offically thrown his hat in the ring.

Please Digg: Man Comes Home To Find House Demolished by City!!
This guy's house was demolished by the city while he was out of town simply for the bricks the house was made of! Now the city's giving him the runaround claiming they didn't do anything wrong! Hopefully Digg can get this poor guy some national attention and shame the city into fixing the situation.

The bastards at ABC news tried to control public opinion and decide for America who was a serious candidate and who wasn't by leaving Ron Paul out of the online poll, but after a flood of complaints, they were forced admit that they lied and include him in the poll.

The Complete Ownage of a Woman
I'll try to sum up a funny story that happened a few years ago: I got a vasectomy. I met a girl soon afterwards. She was nice and attractive but with a selfish streak that raised a big red flag.
