"Bitcoin says Norway isn't a real country" ... probably


I think the site may be down. Visiting http://www.healthcare.gov gives me an upside down IIS7 logo! http://www.healthcare.gov/welcome.png

Google Now is great if you travel a lot by road and have regularly occurring destinations and/or at regular times.

I guess that for many people, Facebook _is_ the internet.
