POPSClip Title Deleted It's for "National Security." :) Screw our own rights and liberties and security and privacy, as long as the tyrannical, paranoid, fear-driven Empire is happy. Right? America's behaviour is alarming, annoying, paranoid and ridiculous, to say the least, and very unbecoming of a so-called "free and brave" nation. "It's one thing to say it's reasonable for government agents to open your luggage. It's another thing to say it's reasonable for them to read your mind and everything you have thought over the last year. What a laptop records is as personal as a diary, but much more extensive. It records every Web site you have searched. Every e-mail you have sent. It's as if you're crossing the border with your home in your suitcase." ----- One law firm has instructed its lawyers to travel to the United States with "blank laptops" whose hard drives contain no data ----- Lawyers cannot fully advise people how they may exercise their rights during a border search.

POPSSay Goodbye to power cords and battery packs This sounds really interesting. It's not in the practical stages yet, but how convenient would it be to charge your cellphone, mp3 player or laptop without having to plug it in? I know in my house, free outlets are hard to come by, so this is something I can really get behind.

POPSHow to save a wet cell phone I could have used this bit of info last year. Hopefully this will save some of you from having busted cell phones. Gotta wonder who first did this to find out that it worked.

POPSElectronic Papyrus: The Digital Book, Unfurled The black-and-white display holds about 22 lines of a book page, depending on the font, all shown in the crisp black type provided by technology from E Ink, also used in Amazon’s Kindle and other e-readers. The screen changes from one page to the next in about half a second, at the touch of a thumb.

POPSWhen Language Can Hold the Answer The latest research changes the framework, perhaps the language of the debate, suggesting that language clearly affects some thinking as a special device added to an ancient mental skill set. Just as adding features to a cellphone or camera can backfire, language is not always helpful. For the most part, it enhances thinking. But it can trip us up, too.

POPSBees vs Cell Phone: Creating Another False Panic? Another take on the whole cellphones are killing the bees story that is buzzing around the net, today (hey, even Dizzy posted about it). I am posting this in the interest of introducing another perspective on the issue. The author is a scientist who says "wait a minute...not so fast...weigh ALL the evidence first, all is not as it would seem..." Hey, I can buy that...and, at the same time (like on the whole global warming issue), I can research the issues and come to my own conclusion--not one fed to me by the MSM...

POPSThe soap that knows what you want This is one of those things, though, that’s an easy trickle-down technology for things like the iPhone, which already is a touch sensitive gadget with an accelerometer and multiple modes of functionality.

POPSLuddite Terrorists Menace the US, and Possibly You Well, really, you're probably only at risk if you have poor diction, indiscreet manners, and a loud voice. On the other hand, that means they are probably coming for me! But not if I get one first! Mwahaha! If you're afraid, vote Austin for President. ;)

POPSIs the 'WRISTWATCH' over??? I really hope not. although i think it might be true. I bought my husband a beautiful watch for our first anniversary years ago-- i think he gave it about a 6 month wear before he realized he preffered his phone to be his watch. i think watches are really 'smart' - i think they look nice on people..i'd hate to see the Blackberry/Cellphone movement knock out this market too...

POPSCongress: No airplane cellphone calls Just a few problems. First, just because you turn off your cell phone for calls doesn't mean the camera doesn't still work. Second, if those loud and obnoxious people can't talk on the phone, isn't anyone worried that they will talk to you? Third, what about all the other loud and obnoxious behaviors one encounters on a plane? Will they ban babies next? Fourth, the first paragraph of the story said that cell phones are dangerous on planes, where is the evidence of that? And finally, are they going to extend the ban to those insanely expensive phones you can currently use on planes? Or are only the well to do allowed to be obnoxious on the phone?

POPSMan fed cats, kittens live to pit bulls I think that this guy should be injured and fed to some very big hungry cats, oh like maybe tigers or lions. Never one to wish harm on anyone, I cannot help myself when it comes to animals.

POPSThe Myth Of The Victimless Crime "Whether the woman is in a hotel room or on a side street in someone’s car, whether she’s trafficked from New York to Washington or from Mexico to Florida or from the city to the suburbs, the experience of being prostituted causes her immense psychological and physical harm. And it all starts with the buyer."
