POPSCommercial Espionage Not only do I think it would be stupid not to believe the Chinese do it...when the stakes are high, everyone does it. Governments, companies, whatever. The Chinese are kind of right to suggest commerical and political victimization. This is an everyday reality with all contacts.

POPSEvernote In Linux (WINE) Getting some Linux smarts is probably a good idea. This is an unusually clear article on how to install Evernote in Linux. Worked for me, don't know about these offline issues some people commenting about. I'll edit this with my experiences on that. So far, so good.

POPSWheat Allergy Redux I think I see so much of this in people. I'm really starting to notice it. Phrase that pays: "Most people eat wheat so often their bodies adapt and cope and so they experience mild forms of the symptom".

POPSTech Trend: Shanzhai I think it's wrong to dismiss all Shanzhai as pirates. I think some would be hard, ruthless and criminal. Others would be innovative dreamers and doers. I like the description in the article "they run with the attitude of “if you can do it, then I can as well”.

POPSConvert Web Traffic Into Sales I came across post via TalentBasket on Twitter. Kudos. I clipmarked it. Getting people to fill in forms is difficult. It’s always been a reality and the web hasn’t changed much. I guess try-before-you-buy is because there is no “demo room” on the net.

POPSDoes Washing Really Reduce Pesticides? I'm warming to this topic. Scald fruit with boiling water, and you'll often literally see the chemicals as the heat changes the compounds and makes them visible. But ya need fruit for a good diet, don't ya? And I hear some of the "organic" stuff isn't "really" organic! Dilemmas more important than Mac or PC? Sadly, they're out there. :(

POPSHow To Store Cherries Lidl often have REALLY nice cherries. Dumb little man here always seems to end up with a squishy mess after day 1. (Ya mean there's no ring pull on them?) Here's some cherry smarts.

POPSMeta Brain Growth Process I came across this site looking for material on nootropics. I have read many sites that contain SOME good information, but also a lot of New Age theories, which weren't of interest to me. This looks like a great resource.

POPSInstall the GNU C++ compiler on Linux Great step-by-step account, not some half-account written by a guy who spent 6 weeks learning the command line and therefore assumes you know it too. But wait, what do I need a compiler for? I'm not a programmer? You'll learn fool, this is Linux, it draws blood! ;)

POPSBeginner's Guide To Linux Command Line Been listening to all that hype from the Linux cult that it's now as easy to use as Windows? Don't believe a word of it! Pretty soon you're gonna find some piece of your system is "missing" and there ain't now Windows Update or self-extracting package to help you. This can happen even if you're trying to do something as simple as install flash to watch YouTube. Still, like most cults, probably better to learn a bit about them rather than declare war on them...

POPSEvernote Economics The company is smaller than I thought. You'd have to wonder if they made a Symbian application would it help them a lot? This is special pleading. I use Nokias and love them. Possibly there is some feature missing in the Nokia OS that makes it hard? Or is it just iPhones are cool, but a tiny market?

POPSHow To Avoid Pesticides How To Avoid Pesticides. My previous post from Kathy Browning said the fruits absorb some chemicals so I'm not wild on the dishwasher detergent as a solution. It DOES make sense though that the spay is designed to repell water.

POPSRemoving Pesticide From Food Well, now I know about the "dirty dozen", realistically, I'm going to have to figure out a way to make food safe when organic isn't an option... The 1st link she references in the article sadly no longer works, so I have excluded it from the clip.

POPSThis man sells cola! Just not Coke or Pepsi! Came across this via http://www.dvorak.org/blog/ I'm not down with the anti-Coke/Pepsi/Red Bull message, but it's cool that he did something about his opinion and opened up all the options for everyone. Better than spraying something with aerosol paint.

POPSBlackberry Acquire Torch To Change Their Browser Gabriel Lavoie drew my attention to this on the TWiT FriendFeed. I think this is a disinenguous quote from Kevin Restivo "Clearly, the smartphone market has evolved to the point where people, be it consumers or corporate users, need a fully fledged web browsing experience". We have been clamoring for this for years. We were just ignored.

POPSUse Camera As PDA Neat about the text mode and the camera having a calendar. It's cheap too, just over 100 bucks!

POPSPut FriendFeed Posts On Facebook This was a lot more complicated than I expected. The end gain is you can use FriendFeed to update both your Twitter and Facebook if you work it right. Twitter can then update Windows Live as well (this requires install of Twitter Gadget on Windows Live)
