Apple Introduces Video, TV Playing IPod (AP)AP - Apple Computer Inc. unveiled Wednesday an iPod capable of playing videos, evolving the portable music player of choice into a multimedia platform for everything from TV shows to music videos.
Like I stated -- great idea if you have not invested in a DVR or enjoy a 2.5" screen or are traveling somewhere there is no television; of course, places that don't have television aren't that greatest for delicate electronics. Me, I will stick with my audio/photo only nano...
The network and its parent company, Disney, have teamed up with Apple to offer episodes of several shows, including monster hits "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," on Apple's iTunes music service. The deal, which Disney says is the first of its kind, coincides with the release of ITUNES 6.

Any of you that are interested in carrying video with you the "video Ipod" announced today is for you. Me, I am happy with my Nano since Audio (Podcast) is all I am interested in -- a 2.5" TV screen will not replace my TV besides replaying sports events isn't really my cup of tea and sports is the only reason for Television/Video isn't it? However, these series will play with the new ITUNES 6.0 on your computer and an episode is only $1.99... So not that expensive if you just have to stay up to date on your series and haven't invested in a DVR.

Well someone please tell me how reporting
US troops plan to protect voters and votes in Iraq is news? I mean did ANYONE think that US troops would not be involved? The story should be that the "constitutional referendum" vote is taking place, but maybe it is just me.
Reuters - U.S. troops trying to make Saturday's constitutional referendum in Iraq as safe as possible say it's not just people who have to be protected, but millions of pieces of paper.

Laura Bush says sexism possible in Miers criticism -- this is a mistake! I have not made many if any personal comments about the choice; however, those that are opposed are not "sexist" and in fact some of the most outspoken opponents are FEMALE. To continue this course of defense could alienate some supporters.
I will say, in my opinion, President Bush has a pretty good "track record" with his choices... With that said, the choice is made -- let process move forward -- defending the choice is fine but throwing out words like sexism comes dangerously close to liberals throwing "racism" around referring to Katrina -- it is totally unfounded and appears ridiculous. Some excerpts from The Post:
COVINGTON, Louisiana (Reuters) - First lady Laura Bush joined her husband in defending his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday and said it was possible some critics were being sexist in their opposition to Harriet Miers.

Not sure about you but I have chronic insomnia and in today's world on those sleepless night I head to the internet or television. With that said I found this article on
scientists finding out what losing sleep does to a body interesting.
With a good night's rest increasingly losing out to the Internet, e-mail, late-night cable and other distractions of modern life, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that too little or erratic sleep may be taking an unappreciated toll on Americans' health.
Beyond leaving people bleary-eyed, clutching a Starbucks cup and dozing off at afternoon meetings, failing to get enough sleep or sleeping at odd hours heightens the risk for a variety of major illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity, recent studies indicate.
Note: Be prepared for the New Orleans leaders to whine that South Asian quake victims are stilling from them.
Death Toll Surpasses 30,000 in Asia Quake
Villagers desperate to find survivors dug with bare hands Sunday through the debris of a collapsed school where children had been heard crying beneath the rubble after a massive earthquake killed more than 30,000 people in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir alone.
Here is a
Google News Search for stories related to Taylor Behl. I provide this and the previous post to make sure any parents with children -- followup with them and see what the are posting and communicating with... Although I remember when I was in college I thought I knew everything we all know (adults anyway) we didn't. Keep her family in your prayers.
"Taylor Behl, a student from Virginia, has been found murdered. The prime suspect, Ben Fawley claims to be an amateur photographer and is being held by authorities." Her myspace page is still up along with all the comments her friends have been leaving her from the day she disappeared up until she was found.

Well, the game is now over and my Volunteers just got slammed at home by Georgia yet again! To add insult to the defeat we may have last Jason Allen for the season... Seems that we have tons of talent except where it is needed and what is the deal with the offensive line that was suppose to be so dominating... In two weeks we have Alabama who put a whipping on Florida, our other loss, last week. Oh well, I still bleed orange -- Go Big Orange!
First we hear "there isn't enough help" and now
Big Easy Leaders Upset Over Cleanup Jobs -- give me a break. Not that all New Orleanians are a bunch of ingrates but their leaders certainly appear to be. Some excerpts:
And yet, many of the workers are not actually from New Orleans.
Many of those engaged in the huge cleanup and reconstruction effort here - nobody has an exact count - are immigrants, both legal and illegal, from Mexico and Central America.
Meanwhile, as many as 80,000 New Orleanians sit idle in shelters around the country. They are out of work, homeless and destitute.
Well it appears they are showing their "racist" colors and here is an idea -- go to those "idle" residents and hire them if you are that upset.

Al-Jazeera finds its English voice - MSNBC.com, an English voice from England... David Frost now that will instantly add creditability to their propaganda -- RIGHT!
Al-Jazeera, which is launching an English-language network with Washington as a major hub, has landed its first big-name Western journalist: David Frost. And the veteran BBC interviewer says he's perfectly comfortable with the unlikely marriage.
Here we go! Well here it is -- really slow right now, but I am sure it will improve rather quickly. There is g-mail and blogger integration, or should I say there appears to be -- due to the slowness I gave up but plan to return and give it a real test drive.
