POPSMourning a Way of Life Why “survival panic” is good. The greater opportunity of the downturn, Vaccaro said, is that it represents a chance to move away from “irrational” and “careless” consumerism toward “a more discerning consumer.”

POPSWho Are The Real Pirates In Africa's Waters? Like the pirates of the ``golden age’’, today's Somali pirates see themselves as fighting for justice. As Sugale Ali told the October 1, 2008, NYT: ``We don’t consider ourselves sea bandits. We consider sea bandits those who illegally fish in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas. We are simply patrolling our seas. Think of us like a coast guard.’’ ``The truth is, if you ask any Somali, if getting rid of the pirates only means the continuous rape of our coast by unmonitored Western vessels, and the production of a new cancerous generation, we would all fly our pirate flags high. It is time that the world gave the Somali people some assurance that these Western illegal activities will end, if our pirates are to their operations. We do not want the EU and NATO serving as a shield for these nuclear waste-dumping hoodlums.’’

POPSAbout 90 percent of all email is spam: Cisco
This year, botnets were used to inject an array of legitimate Websites with an IFrames malicious code that reroutes visitors to websites that download computer viruses into their machines, according to Cisco. "The botnet is, in many cases, ground-zero for online criminal threats," Peterson said. "Using malware to infect someone's computers is an incredibly common mechanism and harnessing them all together is a way they do their click fraud, spam emails, and data stealing." As computer security vendors such as Cisco get better at protecting machines from hackers and users grow wary of clicking on unsolicited Web links or email attachments, online criminals are turning botnets on Web-based email accounts. Hackers are "reputation hijacking" by using botnets to figure out weak passwords protecting Web-based email accounts, according to Peterson. Weak passwords consist of family names, birthdays, home addresses, or other terms considered relatively easy to deduce.

POPSAnd SHE slams Michelle Obama? Why hasn't the media picked up on this and reported it repeatedly for months like they do with every little thing Obama and his wife do or say? If it HAD been Michelle Obama's past, you can bet we'd never hear the end of it.

POPSUnconstitutional: Obama Seizes Private Businesses (Update) Think of this for a moment, your private dentist, or doctor, has been treating you for way ten years, along comes that warm fuzzy sounding “”Health Insurance for everyone”, where the Government comes into your dentist’s office, or your Doctor, and tells them, you must now practice out of this facility under this agency or you must stop practicing medicine/Dentistry, thereby forcing the closure of their private business. Its coming folks. The Federal Government is acting in a blatantly unconstitutional manner, and no one seems to be talking about it. The silence in the mainstream Media is nothing short of thundering. The Government is seizing private businesses, and this is just the start. Is this the hope and change you voted for? Government seizing private business? This is not hope. It’s the wanton destruction of the very thing that makes us a free people, the Constitution of the United States. 10th Amendment, 5th Amendment

POPSBill Maher: New Rules - Look Beyond The Candidates’ Skin Color Cont.... And it’s true, he’s spent his entire life shuffling from one low-paying government job to another. Well, except those years he spent in prison. Typical! And between you and me, he’s not very articulate. Oh, he may have some street smarts, but he’s not what you call an educated man. He freely admits he’s ignorant about the economy. And apparently the only thing his white running mate knows how to do is crank out one baby after another. And now of course, her teenage daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Because she learns it at home! But that doesn’t mean we should assume all white people are like that, just because so many of them are.

POPSNew Light Bulb will Outlast You - Look for GE to Squash This Wow, Ceravision has developed a light bulb that is 50% efficient, which means it will last decades longer than the best light bulbs today. How about a big FU to Edison for developing and marketing such a crappy wasteful bulb in the first place; and for stealing Tesla's ideas on electricity and exploiting his talent.

POPSHe's back: Sandy Berger now advising Hillary Clinton Amazing! Though not so surprising. These people have no shame. Any Republican involved in *unusual* sex is tarred & feathered. They are accused of 'phony' slander and denounced on the Senate floor. They have a memory lapse and are convicted of perjury. Yet, Mr. Berger gets a slap on the wrist for stealing classified information and then lying about it. But he only has to bide his time and wait for the Clintons to call and he's back at their political and corrupted money trough. Any American, Rep. or Dem., should be appaulled that a convicted National Security chief would be hired to work for and advise a potential President of the United States.
