Microsoft Bloggers Multiplying Exponentially
Mary Jo Foley:It had been a while since we updated our list of current and former Microsoft employees who are blogging. There are now more … lots more. Kind of makes us wonder if Microsoft is secretly making blogging part of employee's job descriptions these days. (Hey, if there were no Microsoft conspiracy theories, life would be dull, wouldn't it?)

Roll your first rss feed from scratch
Lockergnome:Jamsterdam offers a really great tutorial for the RSS “first timer”. With this tutorial you can roll your own feed just like the pro’s do. You will find everything completely “broken down” into the basics so that it can be absorbed quickly. Even the simplest parts of the code are explained. This is most definitely one of the easier tutorials that I have seen. Nice job Jamsterdam.
If this is still a bit much or you really don’t give a rip how it works, try this RSS creation tool from webreference.com instead.

Games developers need people skills, industry says
LONDON - The games industry needs to train people who can work in teams, collaborate with marketing staff and generally have people skills, speakers on the keynote panel at the Game Developers Conference, Europe, said Wednesday. The days of the bedroom programmer are over, Jez San, founder of Argonaut Games PLC in Edgware, England, said. Smaller development companies working in their basements aren't likely to survive and the industry is likely to consolidate from today's 400 to 500 companies to around 50 over the next two years, he said. That means staff have to be able to work in that environment...

Santour International Festival in Iran
Considering and recognizing the cultural relationship between different nations has been taken into consideration since early days. So recognition of the cultural identity is not possible without knowing the other culture’s specifications. Undoubtedly, at our time this knowledge is being felt more. For this reason, paying attention to different domains of culture, art and wisdom is a duty being felt on the shoulder of our generation.Meantime, music, in title of the most unintermediary art is doubtlessly of a great attention. One of the most important cases in cultural transactions that must be over looked is using common instruments among different nations...
Santours are so calm! I still don't know if it was originated in Iran or Greece or India? I would say Iran, because they are similar to other Iranian instruments and they all look like Iranian type of music. I know Greece has a similar type of music to Iranians, so does the Hebrews!

12-year-old begins medical school
CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Sho Yano's mother hands him his lunch for school in a brown paper bag -- a turkey sandwich and cookies included. The response from the public -- and some of his undergraduate classmates -- has not always been positive. Recently, Sho did an Internet search of his name and was surprised to find many people commenting about his life in blogs (or Web logs). "One person said, 'Look at this miserable child with a pushy mother,"' Sho says. "Another said, 'Look at this miracle of God with his supportive parents."'

Kevin Rose:
No spyware, adware, pop-ups, or banner ads. (Yeah!)
No bitrate limits for MP3 files. (Cool!)
Multisource downloads have a maximum of 40 simultaneous sources. (Daddy like!)
Finds sources for a download once every minute instead of every 10 minutes. (Oh yeah!)
Uploaders can't cut in line anymore regardless of their participation level. This improves the number of completed uploads and takes away the advantage that cheaters have. (Ha!)
Shared files are scanned every five minutes instead of every minute to save system resources.

The beast of Mashhad
Guardian's article on the Iranian serial killer, Saeed Hanaei who murdured 16. (Mashhad is a province on North, eastern of Iran.)
Guardian: When the drought ended and the rains came, Saeed Hanaei believed that it was a sign from God that his killing spree had divine approval. "I realised God looked favourably on me. That he had taken notice of my work," Hanaei said. With 12 prostitutes already dead by his hands, Hanaei carried on his "work" and strangled at least four more women after luring them to his house in the Iranian city of Mashhad.

Directory of the executions in IRan in the year 1988 (1367)
Via: Sobhane
Translated from Persian by me
In the summer of 1988 with orders of Ayatollah roohollah Khomeini executed hundreds of the political prisoners in Iran, with only question and answers and then they killed them in horrible ways, like terrorizing them with guns on the head, torturing them and even more horrific ways. They assaulted young prisoner girls before they executed them! those who died were buried secretly at night without anyone knowing it in the graveyards all together.
until now there has been some who notified there loved ones and found them and signed up their names as they have found them. hundreds more never found or ever notified of who they were. 4484 number of the ones who have been notified and found.

Blogjam presents: Neil Armstrong - The Truth
Notice! language
In 1969, Neil Armstrong made history by becoming the first man to walk on the moon, uttering the immortal phrase, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Or did he? Previously suppressed footage discovered by blogjam shows that Armstrong's reaction was a great deal more uninhibited than history suggests, and that a hasty editing job was needed to prepare the astronaut's moment of glory for broadcast. Watch the truth!
So here, for the first time, in the unedited NASA film from the triumphant Apollo 11 mission.
Popdex:
The F-ing eagle has muther F-ing landed .. jesus h. christ in a chicken basket .. Neil Armstrong: The Awful Truth .. man landed on the moon .. quite that well .. footage

The Bush Toy Was Not Much Fun 8/17
This article was the funniest thing ever!
Dear Blue Box:
With great disappointment, I am returning the George W. Bush “action figure,” which you will find enclosed in this package. I am seeking a full refund for this defective toy for the following reasons:
? Despite its billing as an action figure to pair up with my GI Joes, it was obviously not made to be a soldier. Never mind the lack of any scar on its face. The bigger problem is that I cannot find any weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the box. Heck, I can't find any weapons at all! continue

Costliest UK film takes on epic scale
Cast of thousands and record-breaking ?49m budget to put story of emperor Cyrus on celluloid for the first time.
The Guardian - An action adventure with a cast of thousands about the Persian emperor Cyrus is set to become the most expensive British film ever made.
Oscar-nominated director Alex Jovey, who has only made one previous feature, hopes to start shooting the $80m (?49m) epic in December. It is the first film about the shepherd boy who founded an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean to India. Jovey, 32, said he wanted to create spectacular battle scenes reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers but with the sweep of Lawrence of Arabia "and the kind of authenticity you can only get by using thousands of extras". He is amazed that the story of Cyrus's rise in the sixth century BC has gone untold on celluloid.

Day of Journalists
Pedram from eyeranian said:
Some Iranian bloggers have decided to "hang their keyboards" for today (day of journalists) and not write anything in protesting the arrest of their colleagues. Journalists are prosecuted, arrested, tortured and sentenced everyday in Iran for only expressing their opinions. As is the case with Zahra Kazemi, many pay the ultimate price for just merely doing their job. This is why Reporters without borders has called Iran "the biggest prison for journalists in the Middle East ". Let us not forget them and work even harder to bring freedom and democracy to Iran.

Korea's Weird Wired World
Strange things happen when an entire country is hooked on high-speed Internet.
South Korea has gone gaga over broadband. This nation of 46 million people, packed into an area smaller than Virginia, has quickly become the world's most wired nation. Politics, entertainment, sex, mass media, crime and commerce are being reshaped by a population as online as it is offline. Some 11 million homes, or 70% of the total, have broadband accounts, and at peak times just about all of those homes are online. Nearly two-thirds of Korean mobile phone users have shifted to so-called third-generation handsets that offer speeds up to ten times that of mobiles in the U.S. Here, residential broadband isn't expected to enter 50% of homes until late 2004.....

Is Iran developing ‘the bomb’?
MSNBC: Sources say nation could have weapon in a few years.
Aug. 6 — There was a ceremony in Tehran two weeks ago to welcome the newest missile to Iran’s arsenal — a missile designed in North Korea. The CIA says the new mobile missile could deliver a nuclear payload over a range from Cairo, Egypt, to Bombay, India, by the end of the decade if Iran is not stopped from developing a nuclear weapon. But U.S. officials and foreign intelligence services told NBC News that Iran is within just a few years of building a nuclear bomb.
These people are insane, if they have the bomb what are they going to do drop it on U.S.A. ? It's impossible to do that, maybe they will throw it on Israel but that's suicidal. I mean come on all of the world would be against you! no one wants another Hiroshima in this world. I surly don't want it to happen. If U.S.A. is saying they are developing it well it's not benefiting U.S.A. or Iran.

Khomeini's grandson: US can free Iran
Scotsman:
THE grandson of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the cleric who launched an anti-American Islamic revolution in Iran that sparked 25 years of unrest in the Muslim world, has condemned his country’s clerical regime and suggested military intervention by the United States as a possible path to liberation.
"In Iran, the people really need freedom and freedom must come about. Freedom is more important than bread," said Hossein Khomeini, 45, a cleric who has taken up temporary residence in Iraq. "But if there’s no way for freedom in Iran other than American intervention, I think the people would accept that. I would accept it, too, because it’s in accord with my faith." more on this

US options on Iran
Roger Hardy(BBC): The Bush administration has dubbed Iran part of an "axis of evil", yet there is a widely-shared feeling that it has no clear policy towards the regime. In the last of four reports, Roger Hardy looks at short-term and longer-term US options. US policy is, for now, to work with allies, the European Union, Russia, Japan, to put pressure on Iran to accept more stringent inspections of its nuclear facilities.

TIME: The industry issues hundreds of subpoenas seeking the names of music pirates. Is yours among them?
Bob Barnes never dreamed that the long arm of the music industry would reach into his personal computer. Sure, the bus operator from Fresno, Calif., had used Napster to grab music files off the Internet. And when that file-swapping service was put out of business, he switched to its most popular successor, Kazaa. But he was careful not to leave a trace, transferring all his downloaded songs to separate discs. A visiting teenage grandson wasn't so careful, however, and last week Barnes, 50, was slapped with a subpoena from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). continue reading this
