POPSNew Firefox Web browser to be released Tuesday I had downloaded Firefox 3 and that's when I had problems with the Clipmarks orange box and clipping. When I went back to the older version it worked fine. Hopefully with the official release, it can be resolved. I can't wait to try it out. But like others, I have extensions that have become part of my internet life. :~)

POPS"Techno-Doping" and the New Olympics The evolution of technological augmentation is progressing faster than natural human biology, and it's clear that it won't be long until these physical enhancements will completely out-class natural human sports capabilities. The growing likelihood that, within the next decade, the fastest humans alive will be "disabled" holds the potential for profound "future shock." As I wrote about last year (in "The Accidental Cyborg"), young athletes facing the choice between rehabilitation and amputation for leg injuries are starting to pick amputation, knowing that the prosthetics could be an improvement, not an impairment.

POPSThe Newspapers Are Becoming Passe Newspaper readership is on the decline and it appears may be totally overcome by the web or other online sources of news and information within 5 years. In one big way, they have brought this situation upon themselves. Instead of becoming more innovative, informative and relevant, they have been merging, cutting back on personnel, closing news bureaus overseas etc. They do not have a chance in competing with immediate, up-to-the-minute news reporting, along with interactive media enhancements. On top of which the ability for readers to offer instant feedback and comments regarding any particular item being reported. I would hate to see the newspaper disappear from the scene as it is such a tradition with many people. But unless they can find a way to compete in a meaningful and engaging manner, I fear they are going to go the way of the dinosaur.

POPSVirtural Integration: Google and Second Life? There has been a lot of talk lately about the integration of virtual worlds with the internet. The fact the Google likes to have it's fingers in all honey pots does not surprise me. While I enjoy Second Life as a creative platform and sometimes virtual vacation it is in need of a more stable and powerful system to work under. Perhaps Google and Linden Labs (the creators of Second Life) could work together. Google would be able to supply a much needed power boost to the relatively small Linden Labs.
