POPSEverNote - Create, Organize, Find any type of Notes Nice stuff from some Russian boys. Remember the Apple Newton fiasco? They were responsible for the hand-recognition piece.

I am able to semi-converse in a limited number of languages, especially after a couple of glasses of backbone.

POPSHow Creepy Do You Want It? I love stories like this. :) ...because, well, that's where the action is. That's where we get to touch the void, dance on the edge of perception, realize how little we truly know of anything.

"The documents also suggest that the US government, anxious to spare Israel's reputation and preserve its alliance with the US., closed the case with what even some of its participants now say was a hasty and seriously flawed investigation. "In declassifying the most recent and largest batch of materials last June 8, the 40th anniversary of the attack, the NSA, this country's chief US electronic-intelligence-gatherer and code-breaker, acknowledged that the attack had "become the center of considerable controversy and debate." It was not the agency's intention, it said, "to prove or disprove any one set of conclusions, many of which can be drawn from a thorough review of this material," available athttp://www.nsa.gov/liberty .
