POPSiPhone The Silver Lining Theory holds that in every dark cloud there is a silver lining and in every silver lining there is a dark cloud. This clip shows clearly that the iPhone does have its drawbacks. This clip was taken from an article about the pros and cons of media convergence (old media meets new media) and how it can be leveraged for business

POPSUnfortunately For Our Nation "These Our Actors"(Obama's Crew)...Shall Not Dissolve In Time For Us "These our actors, As I foretold you, were all spirits, and Are melted into air, into thin air, And, like the baseless fabric of vision, The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with sleep." - William Shakespeare, The Tempest, 4.1

POPSFree EDUCAUSE e-book: The Tower and the Cloud The emergence of the networked information economy is unleashing two powerful forces. On one hand, easy access to high-speed networks is empowering individuals. People can now discover and consume information resources and services globally from their homes. Further, new social computing approaches are inviting people to share in the creation and edification of information on the Internet. Empowerment of the individual—or consumerization—is reducing the individual's reliance on traditional brick-and-mortar institutions in favor of new and emerging virtual ones. Second, ubiquitous access to high-speed networks along with network standards, open standards and content, and techniques for virtualizing hardware, software, and services is making it possible to leverage scale economies in unprecedented ways.

POPSVERY IMPORTANT: The Battle Over CA Prop 5: Special Interests Overwhelming the Public Interest
Here is picture that sums up much that is wrong with American politics. Five governors of California, Democrats and Republicans, joining forces to oppose something that is indisputably in the public interest. This is an image that could be repeated, with different faces, in region after region of our country, involving issue after issue. Public officials standing against the public good, with the disastrous results on display from Detroit to Wall Street. All suffering from the same destructive force: the power of entrenched special interests to cloud the vision of our leaders, causing them to thwart good sense, good legislation, and the will of the people. In today's version, we have Jerry Brown, Pete Wilson, Gray Davis, George Deukmejian, and Arnold Schwarzenegger coming together to oppose Prop 5, a common sense ballot initiative that seeks to effectively and intelligently tackle the chronic problems facing California's deeply flawed criminal justice system. California's pris

POPSThe Hate Monger of Minnesota (Rep. Bachmans history of gaffes) Yet the highly controversial statements continued. During a St. Cloud Times podcast in early 2007, Bachmann claimed exclusive knowledge of a secret Iranian plan to partition half of Iraq. After meeting Gov. Sarah Palin last summer in Alaska, Bachmann declared that “warmth” from a pipeline running through Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would make the area a “meeting ground and ‘coffee klatch’ for the caribou.” Just months later, during a House hearing on the mortgage foreclosure crisis engulfing her district, Bachmann read aloud from an editorial blaming “blacks and other minorities” for causing the epidemic.

POPSElectricity Found on Saturn Moon continues: Morente's team studied data returned from the European Space Agency's Huygens probe, which broke away from NASA's Cassini spacecraft in 2005 to become the first probe to go below Titan's clouds. (Read "Voyage to Saturn" in National Geographic magazine.) As soon as the probe entered the moon's atmosphere, a strong wind tilted the device about 30 degrees. This accidental motion enabled Huygens to detect the Earthlike electrical resonances that it otherwise would have missed, which Morente and colleagues describe their study, published in a recent issue of the journal Icarus. Jeffrey Bada, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, believes the process that allowed lightning to spark life on Earth is universal and could happen in many environments—including on Titan.

POPSTech Layoffs Should Be Mild Call it the silver lining to a very dark cloud. But most tech companies grew slowly and sensibly during the recent bull market, and so are well positioned to survive the current bear.

POPSBeijing Vice-Mayor Gets Death Sentence China knows how to nip corruption in the bud. Death. Keeps everyone honest for a few years. Good news and bad news in this story. Good news is one less commie. Bad news is Obama is a Commie to take his place. Did you read about Michelle ordering up Dom champagne, lobster and Iranian caviar at her hotel? Yeah, right, these commies are looking out for you, Middle Class. In truth, these elitists feel far above you.
