POPSNice business for our phone carriers. So our mobile carriers are in fact servile accomplices to phone thieves. Sure they benefiting from those stolen phones and thus help to uphold evil environment of theft and paranoia in society. Is this something new nowadays? Regardless I dutifully reported my stolen iPhones (and there are few of them), no one has been discovered. What I get instead was exactly 'huffing, puffing and hands waving'...

POPSStay hungry, stay foolish... That is best speech I ever heard. Simple, realistic, sincere and deeply philosophical. The same like all wonders he granted us. Sure his name will stay in the history of humankind as the name of a genius who did help us all to make our recent giant leap on the road of progress to prosperity. Stay hungry, stay foolish...

POPSHysteria over listeria Couple years ago it was tomatoes, remember? With E.Coli. The same tactic of pumping fear into society. 72 become ill and 13 died. For whole country! And bacteriological analysis isn't always 100% accurate. But nevertheless: avoid, TROW OUT, be careful, be scared, be very scared... That's what we really need to know. No way any bacteria, or any other microscopic live agents (viruses, fungi...) can get inside of any fruit or vegetable through undamaged pile or skin. They are sterile inside. Until you cut it open. They found bacteria on equipment... What equipment for cantaloupe? Unless you started PROCESS it. Packaging... Spraying may be. "For freshness, for freshness". :( But that is another story then.

POPSWhat a heroes! Another sample of genuine heroism. Young lady just done what has to be done in that critical moment and she was lucky to have that smart, aged and courage horse to save little boy's life from fury beast. Inspiring real story...

POPSReckless cowboy approach and resulting tragedy. Main problems here was the excess of authority and lack of judgement. Who would have courage say something to millionaire (only his plane's cost was about $2,5 mln), veteran pilot and 74 y/o man from Florida about his judgement when he boasted about superiority of his historic artifact or when he did cut its wings by 5 ft (!) each? Did he get approval for this from any aviation engineering professional? Isn't it the same situation as in rodeo? Reckless cowboy approach. And resulting tragedy.

POPSRoots of chronic poisoning. Repeated calls to eat organic, in my view, are just attempts to raise price of our food basket. Sure we have to eat only healthy food. And drink accordingly. ;) And here is a solution. Once you, or, what much worse, your kids, got poisoned, never eat that stuff again. And tell others to avoid it by all means. With Internet it become really possible. To find out the roots of our chronic poisoning is the matter of training. And self-education. And communication for exchange of true information. We are able to control our food ourselves and therefore get rid off controllers from corners, behind the scene or wherever they'll pop up.

POPSTriclosan - one of three slow killing us chemicals This cytotoxic poison killing not only germs but everything alive. Us including. BTW. Respectable manufacturers have rejected this chemical few years ago but still it is detectable in our urine. Easily penetrating thru even undamaged skin it is accumulating in the body destructing all its systems, lowering level of overall health. The legacy of insane chemists of past century pushing chemicals into human body must be stopped and further restricted. In order to survive we don't need to kill nothing, even germs and microbes. One more appearance of violent solution in our routine. Besides triclosan two others dangers are bisphenol A and fluoride . How are we survive? If any indeed... :cool:

POPSOur price for negligence This is not a horror movie... But why we cannot think about this in advance, measuring all possible outcomes and imaging tragedy applying to real situation?

POPSOld news or light in the end of tunnel? Very promising. Too early to talk about results: side and adverse effects will definitely come out and must be thoroughly evaluated . The trend is new... Although almost. Whole body suppose to work against inner enemy, not only T-cells. And it's always hard work on long road. With no alternatives or exceptions available...

POPSwe don't think it's a good idea to lag in notifications to the police Are these patrols civil volunteers or private security firm, as they were called in some media sources? When it's not bad for a community overall to uphold order and peace, in some situations, and most sensitive ones it is very dangerous to rely on amateurs. And here is tragic outcome, unbearably gruesome and monstrous: apparently psychotic killer is unpredictable in his further actions and must have been monitored and remotely guided by high level professionals in the criminal field of kidnapped and missing persons. Instead his twisted mind was triggered by that massive street search behind the window...

POPSThat Russian excellence... Although... Is this matter where this beauty from? She is virtual in the matter of presence, and not in Internet. Another phenomenon...

POPS"Stay safe dudes, plank carefully." There are no borders for dumbness. Before this craze was a chocking one. It's so easy to lose life, which was built not only by those teenagers themselves, but by their families, relatives, society. How important to grow the level of responsibility in one's own soul from very beginning, in order to not hurting surrounding people first of all.

POPSHormones in our food Herbal supplement? Is this how hormones are called now by food producers? Is this included in the list of ingredients on label? Or they will invent new word for this drug, supposed to be administered only by prescription in case of corresponding illness? How cookies can be 'for adults only'? How often we getting these 'sleep-inducing' drugs with our food, wondering afterward what's going on with our bodies? Why we getting fatter and disfigured? Aren't these the roots of rampaging metabolic disorders as diabetes, anxiety and depression? Thanks to responsible politicians like these mayors, who do not only talking and promising, but doing something real to guard our society from greed and negligence.

POPSModern slavery - handy tool for scumbags People with uncertain immigration status are not just living; they're living in constant fear and suppression and easily become victims of swindlers, who making their own living - and prosperous one - on their sufferings. This situation cannot last forever, exploit of scared humans without rights mounting evil and social tension, and sooner this steam will be released is better. For everybody.

POPSReal public servant That's what a government suppose to be. As any other social institution, actually. Greed is one of the most terrible marks of human nature. After violence, IMHO. They are usually rampaging both together...

POPSIs this our beef? Wow! No wonder cows are sacred there. Look at his face expression... Is this our beef? One more reason to stop eat animals.

POPSThe secrets to a long life Eliminating damaging factors: universal and individual, playing crucial role in the position of health level and especially its vector. There is no such thing as natural causes of death; people dying from diseases, which accumulating during whole life and in the final end we are just paying our price for our mistakes, habits, prejudices and misunderstandings.

POPSHefty Heart Attack Grill Spokesman Dies at 29 That Jon Basso - "Dr. Jon" bear full responsibility for his death and for worsening health of all his patrons. You simply cannot make money on anything, especially on dangerous habits leading to addiction and loosing health. Level of health is floating between two points: life and death. And if some kind of business pushing this level toward second point... Well, look around. Something familiar, isn't it?... :cool:

POPSRare health condition led to scientist's death from plague It's look like credible explanation. Bizarre twist of events, not completely unpredictable, which always occur in any research, not mention deadly infections. Pity that pure theoretical knowledge didn't help to avoid the danger in this practical concrete instance.

POPSPast medical testing on humans revealed Is this something new? Eugenic ideas (which is the same kind as intelligent design) were fertile ground for Nazis experiments in their dead camps. Isn't this still present in modern medicine? Ethic questions are always cornerstone for any biological research, but how you can follow this rule in present corrupted pharmacology, when any artificially created chemical bear wast array of side and adverse effects, most of them unpredictable? If not simply lethal...

POPSAn alternative to fossil fuel It is very promising alternative especially in combination with algae modules for digesting compost from households and food processing when sunlight is not available. Sure, thorough recycling must become our way of life. We cannot live anymore trashing and wasting while consuming like we do now, it's dead end after all.

POPSJoseph Lozito fought for his life - good against evil Thanks to this hero of our time, drugged psycho, serial killer, madman, graffiti scratcher was finally stopped after 28-hour bloody rampage. Can it be prevented? He was arrested before many times. Nobody saw his deviations? Not even his mother? He had large amount of money in his pockets when arrested. He was unemployed. Where is this money came from? Was he drug dealer? He can afford to hire lawyer? His family well connected? Definitely his condition didn't happen instantly. What led to it?

POPSInternet manifesto may be linked to Arizona shooter How careful we have to be saying (writing, posting, whatever...) something in our new media - Internet. We cannot predict how our words, our thoughts can reverberate in souls and minds of our readers. Especially young or somewhat mentally unstable. The shooter have a history of using controlled substance, I don't think that his arrest for possession of paraphernalia was just an isolated episode. And to post some kind of manifesto... Hmm... "My favorite activity is conscience dreaming: the greatest inspiration in my political business information," the writer of the post says.

POPSWanted for war crimes How people like this former federal prosecutor get to the power and become decision makers for long 8 years? Is he 'smart enough' to be decision maker? But he was. And these guys dipped whole country into our present mess, moral first of all.

POPSThe fluoride deception Chronic poisoning usually go unnoticeable. Only 'chronic' diseases are starting to pile up. Or our lifestyle beginning to deteriorate. Or life important decisions somehow becoming crippled. And we feverishly trying to fix everything with medication. Or with drugs. Or alcohol, tobacco, cappuccino, energy drinks. Good attitude to check ingredients on the label of consuming product. The revelations are sometimes astonishing. Fluoride, triclosan, benzoate, bisulfate, glycerin, ethylene (or buthylene) glycol... That's what is added conscientiously. Beside of other stuff, getting there by negligence. How are we surviving all these attacks? Surviving? :cool:

POPSQWERTY and other quirks Sometimes it is just pure coincidence. And usually it takes a lot of efforts to change our approach even to something trivial. Look at our Clipmarks. Amplify is probably more modern and convenient. But not as popular as ole CM. And nobody can force us to go and socialize there with our clips. That's why the role of inventors, dissidents, pioneers, even rebels is very important in society. New view of old things is so captivating.

POPSIf you still eat poultry While La Belle farms pats itself on the back for using plastic tubes instead of metal ones in it's forced-feeding operation, the larger questions remain: Is it ethical to confine, manipulate and kill animals just because we desire a particular flavor? Is it ok to confine birds (and other animals) to industrial spaces devoid of fresh air, sunlight, grass, ponds, and the ability to socialize, mate and engage in other natural behaviors --- all for the sake of a completely unnecessary "delicacy"? Is it ethical to inflict needless suffering and violence on others simply for our own pleasure? How that smacks of elitism, selfishness and oppression. But perhaps that's a large part of the appeal for a certain class of people. For those who don't want to join (or remain in) such a club, try some vegan pâté instead. Done right, it can be amazingly delicious.

POPSThe War on Cameras The author have raised very important issues from our real life: can we record public officials, where is the line of their privacy on duty, how we can defend ourselves against abuses and blatant lies, how to prevent erosion of our civil rights. ‘Sed quis custodiet ipsos cutodes’ (‘Who watches the watchmen?’).”

POPSThe Victory of Good Will and Common Sense We are not enemies or even counterparts, rivals anymore. Based on bizarre ideological theories insane global arm race is over for good. Lets make our world better together. There are a lot of things to do. Blunders like this Russian parliament would first check that the US Senate's ratification motion had not changed the text of the agreement. sure are not helpful or productive. What? They have no analysts, 'observants' in Congress or vicinity and didn't study it yet?

POPSSkype outage It still not working... Not on desktop, nor on iPhone. :?: Not that I'm suffering too much, but feel uneasy: what's going on? Is it time to look for sumtin else?

POPSFlu Crisis? It's not 100% effective or even prevent death (3 from those 17 were immunized), and potential side effects are more probable in that 'vulnerable' contingent. So what's all this hum about again? When these vaccines will expire? Soon? I think, that's the reason... Fear mongers are still roaming around. Best immunization is in natural way: contract virus BTW, anywhere, get fever, headache and whole body aching, sweating and get rid from it at least for 1 year in a few days. Best protection is that old proven mask. But, again, here is social factor. Staying not immunized during epidemic is risky…

POPSOperation Payback cripples MasterCard site Mastercard's site still isn't operational even now, only welcome page displayed. And these DDoS attacks seems uncontrollable, as well as popping up new mirror sites of Wikileaks, because of its spontaneous and loosed nature.

POPSAbsurd charges This case is not, on the face of it, about WikiLeaks. It is an allegation in another European country of serious sexual offences -Judge Howard Riddle Yes, Judge, you are right. "On the face of it". More absurd charges difficult to imagine. Now we will be forced to hear all details of this 'heinous crime'. Old dirty trick of unscrupulous players from behind the scene, who have always used special women as handy tool for entrapment. Even without their knowledge. Sleeping victims of serious sexual offences... It would be laughable, if it wouldn't be so cheap.
