Pugwash

Well done. Like we needed to know. ... and it did!

Only the weblogs can prove that. I'm pretty sure I'm the first to use Chrome on this forum on a Mac. http://www.google.com/chrome

Um, what? He wears a Suunto and a Hamilton. He wears two watches; an automatic and a digital. Why? Redundancy. He's got both bases covered. The Hamilton is a watch that tells you sunrise and sunset, and he sets the Suunto by almanac daily. It's a subtle point that most people missed; he even mentions it when doing his video diary - he specifically mentions the over-the-top multiple redundancy he uses for storage.

It'll be out later today. The announcement was leaked a day early.

There are very few applications that can run in the background. Mail and SMS works in the background, but everything else it task-switched. If you run a game of solitaire and quit it, it's state will have been saved to the application's sandbox meaning it picks up when you reload it. However, if you're running AIM and you go off to do an email or browse a webpage, you will be disconnected from AIM. This may sound bad, but this is how the iPhone has the best battery-life of all the 3G smartphones, although it's still not as good as we'd like.

Or exposing active covert CIA agents. See, they all do it, it doesn't matter what side of the fence they are on.

Platinum has its privileges.

Yes, it's obviously a 2D barcode, but what does it mean?

close.

I watched a few Blu Ray movies on my brother in law's 1080 Bravia. Damn ... I need one.

I agree. It's about as important as someone getting a [censored], to be honest.

Seeing as we were told she knew it had Down's Syndrome well before it was born, I don't think that's being implied at all. I don't think anyone is implying she tried to have an 'accidental miscarriage' either, so let's not start on that one.

Not likely now. It turns out her unmarried 17-year old Daughter was pregnant as well. She's now being lovingly forced into a shotgun wedding.

I have no vested interest in whether or not you get an iPhone.

I'd love to see the source for this sort of reporting. Does it also use this yardstick for sporting events, celebrations, carnivals and the like? ie. Smells like bovine scatology to me.

Yes, but why not at that point say "They could have evidence of extra-terrestrial life" or "their perpetual motion machine was nearing completion" as they're just as hypothetical and just as likely. Looking for outrageous examples that strike fear in the common man is a technique used by dictators to justify diminishing rights, especially the rights of protest and public gathering. It's step one, basically.

There are more than enough short HD clips out there. Try here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/hd/

Because domestic Al-Qa'eda sleeper-cells are a work of fiction, especially when you're talking about white hippy college kids.

That would depend on who the Speaker of the House of Representatives was. I can't see the "GOP powerbrokers" letting a Democrat succeed, and there is no way to just pick who they want. Has no-one see The West Wing? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States...e_of_succession

The house raids don't sound like they were done in a proper and legal manner.

Agreed, and I don't even live there!

No news is unbiased. That's the way it is. I've read as many sides to the story as I could find. While the mainstream media seems to be picking up on the raid on the office, the fact that several houses (including raiding next-door to one place by mistake) were raided at the same time seems to be slightly below the radar. [censored]-ups happened and the police didn't quite do it right. This story isn't over by a long shot.
