Can Microsoft Be Saved From Vista

Vista seems to suck -- I have avoided an upgrade after working on my Sisters Vista -- enough so that some say a Microsoft offer to purchase Yahoo is the company's only hope. The changing market, partially driven by the Google online software options and ad revenue is the model.

Low Bridge

"Stoplights aren't in our databases, either, but you're still expected to stop for stoplights."

Hunt for the Holy Grail of Iraq

Many have always believed that Saddam moved his WMD, as reported in the book by General of the Iraqi Air Force.

Here is an April 7, 2008 report from the Jerusalem Post that, if true could add fuel to that fire.

Furthermore, according to a report leaked to the TV channel, Syria has arrested 10 intelligence officials following the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh.

but am now up and running, I hope.


Sorry if some of the following posts are, "old news," already but I have a ton of links over the past week. I also may have forgotten where I first saw some of them.

Also, they will be short on pictures and videos until I catch up.
