It also needs "Apologist piece on why copyright infringement is good (torrentfreak.com)" with "94 polarized comments".

"What I learned from Steve Jobs?"

"How iPad kills PCs"

"My iCruft and Me"

And it's missing a post pointing out things missing on another post about things missing out on another post about...umm...uhhh
