Weekend Link Roundup (120707)

Here goes:

1. It seems that having a sex tape is tantamount to celebrity-hood. For guys, getting away with it is a precursor to just plain old douchebaggery.

2. David Brooks will change how you look at China:

You try to tell them that China isn’t a communist country anymore. It’s got a different system: meritocratic paternalism. You joke: Imagine the Ivy League taking over the shell of the Communist Party and deciding not to change the name. Imagine the Harvard Alumni Association with an army.

3. This stuff will work really well here in Manila.

4. The Stiletto 2 lets you listen to satellite radio on the go (with a player about the size of an ipod). Who needs an ipod?

5. Paypal moves to Linux:

It is currently processing $1,571 worth of transactions per second in 17 different currencies. In 2006, the online payments firm, which started out over a bakery in Palo Alto, processed a total of $37.6 billion in transactions. It's headed toward $50 billion this year.

6. Hillary Clinton can turn just about anyone on.

7. 25 skillz every bro must know. Including mix concrete and clean a bolt-action rifle.

8. Even dead people can go shopping at Costco. Don't forget to bring your ID!

9. Crickets can tell time. Not! Just the temperature.
