Colorado, home to the nation's toughest anti-immigrant law is finding that enforcing the law has cost more than \$2 million and resulted in no savings. Who would have thought such a law wasn't the brightest idea? Not the politicians running up to an election who need to show the voters that they're "doing something" about it. Of course, if the report doesn't say what you want to hear, like Sen. David Schultheis, then it must mean that departments are suppressing information and "playing fast and loose with the statistics for ideological reasons."

The result: Eighteen departments reported adding $2.03 million in costs while not saving any money. None of the departments could say how many, if any, illegal immigrants were being denied state-funded services. Lawmakers expressed mixed views about the report.

Why should you be using an RSS feed aggregator? The discussion following Tyler Cowen's question about RSS going mainstream highlights many of the benefits of using one, such as Bloglines (my personal choice). Cowen has a number of somewhat curmudgeonly reasons to not use one but the comments are overwhelmingly in favor of using one. Still need to be convinced of the benefits? Here are just a few:

1. For sites that aren't updated regularly, subscribing to its feed means your aggregator "remembers" to check that site periodically for you. So when new content is posted, you are notified.
2. No spam - unlike a newsletter or email, you, not the content publisher, are in total control of you subscription. Plus, you don't have to fret about your email address being passed around.
3. If its up to you and your mood to decide what blogs to check up on, you will invariably miss something interesting.
4. Instead of subscribing to individual logs, many sites such as Bloglines, Yahoo!, and Google News let you subscribe to search results for keywords you're interested in.

GP: Will Nintendo work with third-party developers to help them maximize their use of the Wii Remote functions?

Fils-Aime: Absolutely. We love our third party partners, we support them, we ardently want them to succeed. Make no mistake. A vibrant pipeline of third-party titles for Wii-and for DS, for that matter-is a very good thing for Nintendo.
