| BLOG OF THE WEEK: MEDIA LIES |
| Wednesday, April 04, 2007 |
The problem is and always has been cowardice and avarice. Our politicians are much more interested in self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment than they are in what's good for the country.
So, while everyone was in a agreement before the war began, the Democrats saw a political opening when Joe Wilson pandered his lies to the media and they dove in, without any regard to the damage it would do to us or to the world. And some Republicans, cowering in fear at the onslaught of lies from the Democrats and the media, caved in and began attacking the President. Again, with no regard to the lasting damage it could do to this country and to the world...........
Where would Iraq be indeed? And how many Iraqis would be alive today if America had been united and focused on the mission?
Those days are long gone, however. The best we can hope for is that America can survive the present divisiveness and somehow turn the mess we have now into a victory. The alternative is far too discouraging to even consider.

| A Little Intel On Microsoft's New OS Windows Vista |
|
Collected from my friends at http://www.extremetech.com
There's a lot of confusion about Windows Vista these days. Many online discussion forums have a great number of users who express no desire to upgrade to Vista. Sure, we've all seen the screenshots and maybe a video or two of Vista in action, but for many it only seems like new tricks for an old dog. Yeah, it's got some fancy 3D effects in the interface, but OS X has been doing that for years now, and it's still Windows underneath, right? The sentiment seems to be that Vista is another Windows ME—an avoidable upgrade that isn't really going to breathe new life into your computer.
Perhaps part of the problem is that people just don't know what Vista has in store for them. Microsoft has gone big on the very high-level marketing with slogans like "Bringing Clarity to Your World" and has delivered detailed nitty-gritty explanations of the underpinnings to the enthusiast press, but it has done so in a slipshod fashion. We're here to pull it all together and tell you why we're excited about Vista. Here's a list of what's new and improved in Microsoft's next generation OS and why you should care about it. Of course, Vista is far from finished with probably six months of heavy-duty development left, and a lot of things tend to come together at the end (you should have seen Windows XP six months before release). We're not saying Windows Vista will be the greatest OS ever—it's too early for that. But we're excited about its promise, and we think once you know about all the cool stuff going into it, you will be too.... CLICK HERE FOR FULL TEXT OF ORIGINAL ARTICLE

Give it a year and most bugs will be fixed upon release of the first service pack.
