Let me also single out The Baby Name Wizard. It's a lovely application, great fun. Here's my question for anyone to answer. Why did the names Michael and Madison suddenly spike in usage?

I don't in any way have sympathy for sex offenders, but I certainly don't think they should be tracked like this after serving their sentence. Why not a database for all convicted criminals? Don't I have the right (I ask ironically) to know if someone in my neighborhood was convicted of theft? Murder? Extortion? Drug trafficking? Fraud? And therefore, shouldn't we require all convicted criminals of any crime to register there whereabouts whereever they go? I have serious civil liberty concerns about this. If the offender must register his movements, then he's not considered a safe citizen, and if not, why has he been released? I know there's more to the issue than that, but it still strikes me as a dangerous--and exclusionary--law.
