POPSThe story of Sartre and de Beauvoir as never told before If this couple expected their arrangement would spare them the trials and heartache of a conventional marriage, they were wrong.Their multiple affairs went on until World War II when Sartre was called up and their sex games had to be conducted through letters.Left behind in Paris, Simone continued to seduce both men and women, writing titillating descriptions of her activities to Sartre behind the Maginot Line, which reveal her heartlessness and the vulnerability of her conquests.Tragically, the lives of these girls, who were pathologically jealous of each other over their teacher's attentions, were permanently blighted.One took to self-harming, another committed suicide. Most remained pathetically unfulfilled and dependent on the childless Simone, who perversely referred to them as her 'family'. ... Sartre had always said the best way to learn about a country was to sleep with its women.

POPSNeuroheadset: Control Games with Thought The EPOC will be first released for the PC. I am less interested in how the EPOC will be used to control games and more interested in its use as a secondary interface method for general computing. I would love to be able to switch applications or control my media playback with only a raised eyebrow.

POPSThe Quest to End Game Addiction And then there's the business of EQ marriages. In addition to being snubbed for a piece of software, many EQ widows fear getting snubbed for a virtual lover. EverQuest characters frequently marry online and sometimes the romance carries over into real life.

POPSIs The Internet Good Or Evil? This clip was inspired by a clip of NonStat's (link below) I woke up in pain caused by a GYN condiditon that I suffer from (during a certain time of the month; sorry guys!) and even though my pain meds took the edge off I still couldn't sleep and I couldn't stop thinking about NonStat's most excellent clip and wanted to explore it further.

POPSBaghdad Children "armed" to teeth
More: Trade Minister Abed Falah al-Sudani considered banning the toys because they look so realistic. However, given the seeming impossibility of the task, he shelved the idea 10-year-old Haider, has another reason to play with his toy gun "I love it. I like holding it and going outside to kill evildoers. I like to go outside at night like my uncle (a member of the Mahdi Army)," said the boy wearing a ragged T-shirt. In Sadr City, in the vast ghetto where Sadr is considered a hero and his militia calls the shots, children in their war games reflect the bitter sectarian divides -- one side gets to be Shiite militiamen, the other Sunni insurgents. In other neighbourhoods, it's police versus "terrorists", or army versus Al-Qaeda, according to local news Another vendor, Hassan, 27, runs a stall in Bab al-Sharji in the centre of Baghdad. He confirmed that guns are the all-time favourites with children, male or female. "Children prefer guns to trains, balls or radios," he

POPSPeople power transforms the web in next online revolution Watching 'I Love Bees' unfold is a bit like being in Detroit in 1905 when Henry Ford was still experimenting with mass production. A new organisational possibility is unfolding before our eyes. Where might We Think culture take us? We are just at the start of exploring how we can be organised without the hierarchy of top-down organisations. There will be many false turns and failures. But there is also huge potential to create new stores of knowledge to the benefit of all, innovate more effectively, strengthen democracy and give more people the opportunity to make the most of their creativity. The motto of the generation growing up with the collaborative logic of the web is not the solitary 'I think, therefore I am', it is be the social 'We think, therefore we are'.

POPSWhat does this say about the volunteers? In every case, the volunteers saw the books given as an indication of the likes of the donors, except in the case of the Wicca books. Here they must have become "disillusioned" or just doing "research." People! Is it possible they liked and/or practiced Wicca? Have you ever considered THIS as a possibility!

POPSRadical games... It is enough to make one question the right to free speech, freedom of expression, etc. Now, I love the ability in our civilization to be able to express one's self freely, but I have to stop and question what is going too far? A game, who's central plot is the killing of a real world person seems to me to be disgusting. Now I feel the same way if it is Bush or Saddam Hussein. I have no issue with them making games where the US Army, or the Israeli army are the enemy, that is no different then our games that paint them as the enemy (even if we feel it is justified in our case).. but a game where the point is to assassinate a world leader? too far. (And I know, I spoke out for "A Death of a President", but I feel that is different, that's a movie, who's central plot is the fallout of an assassination, rather than the glorified killing of the president at the user's hands...)
