Google's calculator - a great feature that I use a lot - appears to be broken at the moment. From the Google Help page...
To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the calculation you'd like done into the search box and hit the Enter key or click on the Google Search button.
Clicking to use their own example, 5+2*2, yields a page of crazyquilt results.

The terms and conditions page in the GPS For Less website now contains black text instead of white text on a white background.
This is the fix to the error posted on This is Broken on December 6, 2005.
I got a lot of responses to my June 7 question about domain mapping. You might notice that this site is now at thisisbroken.com.
Thanks to Ed Nusbaum, whose column Domain name mapping is broken at This Is Broken quickly solved the problem. (This column at bloggingbusiness.com seems to offer the same solution.)
Special thanks to Anil Dash for posting the question to Six Apart's Professional Network community.
And thanks to Nep, Cameron, Satya, and everyone else who offered helpful suggestions.
Now, bookmark thisisbroken.com, and on with the show!

The typo shown at left has been fixed with lightning speed by Max Gadney and his excellent team at BBC News Interactive. He points out this feedback page where you can let them know about typos in the future.

We here at This Is Broken will continue to monitor this important scientific development as it breaks (the story, that is)... starting today, which of course is April 1st.
Ahem.
