Molly rants on Steve Jobs and his hatred for buttons, and how that hatred made its way down to the mouse's second button. Besides mice, Steve also doesn't like buttons on his shirts, elevators, keyboards, and iPhones. But, Tom is right. Visionaries are often crazy. Crazy on, Steve!

Molly put forth a slightly harsh rant on a nerdy pirate tool that called in to impress the BOLers. The first season 6 episode of "24" was to be sold on DVD the day after it aired, but actually appeared on bit torrent a week prior to its airing. Poor pirate. Nah, he probably deserved it.

Molly rants about Major League Baseball's new restrictions to news sites regarding media taken from the ballparks. Ballparks which were built mostly from public and regional business funding. The news sites must restrict:

• Daily highlights to 120 seconds
• No more than 7 photos per game
• Audio and video cannot be on the sites for more than 72 hours

Unless the news sites cut a deal with MLB, that is.

Hi,

How are ya?

First off, I'm NOT Molly Wood. My name is Minh and I appreciate Molly's rants.

You can already guess that this is a site of Molly's rants made on the show Buzz Out Loud. That's all really.

If you have a suggestion for a MollyRant™, please leave it as a comment citing the link & hopefully the time of said rant. I'll try to put up a rant a day so, enjoy your stay.

See y'all.

P.S.

This here is a CNet producer, Chris Parker. I'm adopting him as this post logo because of what he once said.

"Yeah, I was watching the molly woods when I had craving for the juice box."
