Dixie Chicks sweep Grammy Awards

Music – From the article: "The Dixie Chicks completed a defiant comeback on Sunday night, winning five Grammy awards after being shunned by the country music establishment over the group’s anti-Bush comments leading up to the Iraq invasion. The Texas trio won record and song of the year for the no-regrets anthem 'Not Ready to Make Nice.' They also won best country album, which was especially ironic considering that the group says they don’t consider themselves country artists anymore."

New Feature Teaser: Sink and Retract - The Netscape Blog

Gadgets & Tech – Tomorrow we're adding two new features to the site: The ability to add a Sink vote to stories you do not like and the ability to retract an accidental vote. "You now have the option to not only Vote for stories you like, but add a Sink vote to stories you don't like. This sink vote doesn't affect the actual ranking of the story, but each story will note whether it has mostly positive or mostly negative ratings above the story title, and it will list the number of votes to the number of sinks."
