Iran Quake
BBC: A huge earthquake has killed at least 15,000 people in south-eastern Iran, government sources say. The quake had its epicentre near the ancient city of Bam - most of its buildings have been flattened.
I wanted to see the ancient city like many others who did too, I heard it was all mud bricks that were there for hundred of years. Well I guess it's all going to be stories about it. Sorry to hear about the loss of lives of my countrymen and women.

Saddam's spiderhole photo was taken in August? | Metafilter
The date of th photos varies if it was on September or August
Metafilter: Saddam's spiderhole photo was taken in August, or what? The fruit on the date palm behind the soldier is yellow. Date fruit grows from March-August (see 'Iraq' in table 23) and is harvested in early fall. Dates are yellow (ie. just ripened) in August, not December. I'm not invoking conspiracy - I'm just asking: what gives?

Time: They swept across Iraq and conquered it in 21 days. They stand guard on streets pot-holed with skepticism and rancor. They caught Saddam Hussein. They are the face of America, its might and good will, in a region unused to democracy. The U.S. G.I. is TIME's Person of the Year.

Conspiracies!!
Pedram was talking about Conspiracies on Saddam capture situation, and before that me and my brother and my dad had an argue about it, the BBC report on the so called hole of Saddam was interesting, because the reporter was standing right above the hole, and there was a palm tree. It had all grown dates on them, the color was yellow. This color means that Saddam was captured in summer not in winter, trees don't grow date no where in Middle east during winter. The color of dates is green during July and it gets fully ready, Yellow in September. Why you ask now it was publicized? Well I think to give a boost to G.W.Bush's campaign for 2004 elections.
Saddam was already captured, before it was publicized to people around the world, their playing games with us. Leaders like Khamenie and Saddam were servants to British and U.S.

PowerPoint Makes You Dumb
NYT: In August, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board at NASA released Volume 1 of its report on why the space shuttle crashed. As expected, the ship's foam insulation was the main cause of the disaster. But the board also fingered another unusual culprit: PowerPoint, Microsoft's well-known ''slideware'' program.

Instructions at the top of the screen tell you to make your way up top.

Reaching daylight, you discover that you're on the deck of the battleship California in the middle of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, firing a rifle at waves of incoming Zero fighters...

'Miserable failure' links to Bush
BBC:Web users entering the words "miserable failure" into the popular search engine are directed to the biography of the president on the White House website.
The trick is possible because Google searches more than just the contents of web pages - it also counts how often a site is linked to, and with what words.
Thus, members of an online community can affect the results of Google searches - called "Google bombing" - by linking their sites to a chosen one.
Weblogger Adam Mathes is credited with inventing the practice in 2001, when he used it to link the phrase "talentless hack" to a friend's website.
Google bombs can be more affective then atomic bombs lol.

Bad luck
Yesterday I went to Superstore (Supermarket) and tried to get a haircut appointment, then I decided to adjust my glasses, so I gave the employee my glasses to adjust, after 2 seconds later she comes back and says to me, the weirdest thing happened to her. I said what? , she said one of my lenses got broken.
I didn't shout, or burst in anger, I said what should I do now? She said they have to fix it for two weeks!! I had to go to school during those two weeks. My glasses were coded, made out of light glass also anti glare and they are transition. I got pissed, so the only choice was to use contacts for the first time of my life, off course temporarily. I hate contacts, at first their hard to wear, then it got easy. I hope you guys all had your glasses or your eyes intact without breaking anything.
I hope my glasses get fixed soon; I have to check on Monday. Sunday's the shops are closed, Nova Scotia is the only province in Canada which closes down their shops.

Space Invaders advance on the US
BBC:Swarms of alien invaders are set to take the US by storm, almost 25 years after they first pounced.
The extra terrestrials that live as computer code in the classic Space Invaders game are receiving a new lease of life.
The Japanese game machine maker Taito is planning to start re-selling arcade console machines in the US.

The GIMP
DAN: Photoshop may set the standard when it comes to editing and manipulating images, but its $600 price tag has been known to scare off more than one potential graphics designer. Today Roger demonstrates a great free alternative, the GIMP. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and it has many of the features Photoshop users have become accustomed to: the ability to create layers, add filters, feather, add text, and animate. You'll also recognize the familiar floating palette that gives you easy access to a standard set of graphics tools.

Wired.com:During his regular evening walk, software executive Steve Crandall often nods a polite greeting to other iPod users he passes: He easily spots the distinctive white earbuds threaded from pocket to ears.
But while quietly enjoying some chamber music one evening in August, Crandall's polite nodding protocol was rudely shattered.
Crandall was boldly approached by another iPod user, a 30ish woman bopping enthusiastically to some high-energy tune.
"She walked right up to me and got within my comfort field," Crandall stammered. "I was taken aback. She pulled out the earbuds on her iPod and indicated the jack with her eyes."

GloFish? Fluorescent Fish
There is a fish like that!
GloFish? fluorescent fish will be on sale at a pet shop near you beginning January 5, 2004.
Info:
Where do fluorescent zebra fish come from?
Fluorescent zebra fish were specially bred to help detect environmental pollutants. By adding a natural fluorescence gene to the fish, scientists are able to quickly and easily determine when our waterways are contaminated. The first step in developing these pollution detecting fish was to create fish that would be fluorescent all the time. It was only recently that scientists realized the public's interest in sharing the benefits of this research. We call this the GloFish? fluorescent fish.

Whale species is new to science
BBC: A previously unidentified species of whale has been recorded by researchers.
The creature is a close cousin of the blue whale and has been given the formal scientific name Balaenoptera omurai, reports the journal Nature.
Its Japanese discoverers say the 12-metre-long animal's DNA and anatomical features mark it apart from other whales that use combs to trap food.
Commentators believe the new finding may complicate the debate over whether commercial whaling should be resumed.
It was likely to delay any return to the regular harpooning of certain whale species, they told the BBC.

When the American comedy import hit the CTV airwaves earlier this month -- until then it was seen only on the Comedy Network - Stewart had a few Canuck jokes to offer. But he agreed to sit down and be interviewed by Ben Mulroney for ETalk Daily, to air next Monday and Tuesday.

Slate: Did Bush mean a word of his speech about democracy?
America's proper role in promoting democracy and freedom in the world was a big issue in the 2000 presidential election. One of the candidates was a Wilsonian idealist, arguing that the prestige and even the military strength of the United States should be used to remake other governments in our image. The other candidate was contemptuous of this woolly-minded notion, saying American blood and treasure should be spent only in humanitarian emergencies or to protect our own narrowly defined self-interest.

Canada's Chretien Confesses Italian Rooftop Prank
TORONTO (Reuters) - And now we know what at least one of the world's leaders has done when his guards aren't looking. Feeling shackled by the Canadian Mounties and Italian carabinieri who were protecting him ahead of a 2001 G8 summit in northern Italy, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien and his grandson scampered across rooftops to get free. "My grandson said, 'Grandpapa, let's escape.' So we managed to escape ... and it was quite a thrill. You know, we jumped from one roof to the other roof to a third roof," Chretien said with a boyish chuckle in remarks broadcast on CBC radio on Thursday.
