![How Do I Stop Coworkers From Distracting Me While I’m Trying to Work? [Ask Lifehacker]](http://www.thatsovietguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/45f043b0382711c98f0.jpg)
Dear Lifehacker,
I have a few coworkers that always seem to be at my desk talking to me. Whether I'm in the middle of a task and obviously working or I'm trying to talk on the phone or I'm having lunch or a snack at my desk, these folks keep coming up to socialize. I like them, and our office environment is pretty casual, so I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but how can I make them stop bothering me when I'm trying to work or eat at my...

![Do You Love Dirt Enough To Spend $300 On It? [Rumor]](http://thatsovietguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/6152bd0e00x_dirtcar.jpg)
You know, ridiculously expensive collectors editions have their place. There are certain franchises where there are enough loyal fans around who will spend hundreds on a box full of crap. I do not think Dirt is one of those franchises.
That's not to say I think it's a bad franchise! Dirt 2 is one of the best racers around, especially if you can grab it on PC. But it just...doesn't seem like the kind of series that has legions of people going,...

So begins a New York Times narrative about the increasingly scary sophistication and growth of Chinese censorship:
A Beijing entrepreneur, discussing restaurant choices with his fiancée over their cellphones last week, quoted Queen Gertrude's response to Hamlet: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." The second time he said the word "protest," her phone cut off.
