POPSFLY | Will Apple iPhone hold its own against Nexus? The jury will be deliberating a long time, at least through 2010, on this question. Writes MICHAEL S. MALONE | abcnews.go.com | : "For one thing, Apple understands, better perhaps than any company on the planet, the importance of being not only perpetually innovative " but with a vast and loyal army of Apple fanatics behind it " to regularly take category-busting risks. Thus, the amazing run, beginning a decade ago, of the iMac, MacBook, iPod and iPhone. These landmark (and in the case of the iPod, historic) products not only were ambitious in their goals and beautifully designed, but they also exhibited multiple features that were so innovative that they forced the competition to spend years catching up " and by then, Apple had already moved on to the next breakthrough."

POPSJudge tosses Blackwater case, cites gov't missteps
"We're obviously disappointed by the decision," Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said. "We're still in the process of reviewing the opinion and considering our options." Prosecutors can appeal the ruling. Blackwater contractors had been hired to guard U.S. diplomats in Iraq. The guards said insurgents ambushed them in a traffic circle. Prosecutors said the men unleashed an unprovoked attack on civilians using machine guns and grenades. The shooting led to the unraveling of the North Carolina-based company, which since has replaced its management and changed its name to Xe Services. The five guards are Donald Ball, a former Marine from West Valley City, Utah; Dustin Heard, a former Marine from Knoxville, Tenn.; Evan Liberty, a former Marine from Rochester, N.H.; Nick Slatten, a former Army sergeant from Sparta, Tenn., and Paul Slough, an Army veteran from Keller, Texas. Defense attorneys said the guards were thrilled by the ruling after more than two years of scruti

POPSThe gangs had more control than the guards Over five years, my gross commission rose to more than $500,000 a year. I was the top broker in the office and had my own staff. Then I retired to trade my own capital online and earned even more. I moved to a million-dollar mountainside home complete with swimming pool and whirlpool bath.

POPSWhat happened on 1 Jan 2007? RAY SUAREZ: Hundreds of Iraqis spent this New Year's Day protesting Saddam Hussein's execution, which happened early Saturday morning. Demonstrators marched through the streets of Samarra, defying a curfew. They fired guns, chanted pro-Saddam slogans, and vowed revenge. Saddam was buried Sunday outside Tikrit in the village where he was born. We'll have more on Iraq after Saddam, following this news summary. The U.S. began the new year with a grim milestone in Iraq, as the U.S. death toll passed 3,000. At least 113 American troops died in December, making that the deadliest month for U.S. troops in all of 2006. More than 22,000 Americans have been wounded since the war began. The United Nations has estimated 28,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in the first 10 months of 2006.

POPSSIG Sauer P-226 Semi-Automatic Handgun The SIG Sauer P226 Handgun has become a top choice of weapon among military and law enforcement personnel, and is becoming one of the most popular semi-automatic pistols on the market among civilian consumers, largely because of its stellar reputation as one of the world's most dependable, reliable, accurate and easy-to-use handguns on the market. The biggest problem with the SIG P226 is the fact that it costs so much. A bare-minimum stock model typically runs at least around $800. Obviously, this is a bit cost-prohibitive for some civilian consumers seeking a weapon for self defense. That said, the SIG Sauer P-226 Stainless is an extremely high-quality weapon that is well worth the cost to one who can afford it. Perhaps the only downfall of this particular model besides the cost would have to be the weight. The P226 is an unusually heavy and bulky gun, which makes it less-than-ideal for self-defense purposes.

POPSHow the Nazis reinvented Christmas and cast the Führer as the Messiah The exhibition contains selected items from a vast private collection of Nazi Christmas memorabilia, including swastika and Nazi SS tree decorations, Aryan department store catalogues featuring presents for boys – toy Nazi tanks, fighter planes and machine guns – and music for carols that have been stripped of their Christian content. "The baby Jesus was Jewish. This was both a problem and a provocation for the Nazis," explained Judith Breuer, who organised the exhibition using the items she and her mother collected at flea markets over 30 years. "The most popular Christian festival of the year did not fit in with their racist ideology. They had to react and they did so by trying to make it less Christian."

POPSAR-15 Photograph and accompanying article of and about the civilian-model AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle. The photo and article spawned an interesting conversation about assault rifles and overheating barrels. Is an assault rifle still a robust weapon if its barrel overheats when fired in rapid succession, requiring time to cool in between clips? Chances are, military versions of this weapon are modified to account for overheating, as it would not make much sense to bring a gun into battle that had to be put down every five minutes or so to cool off. It is my understanding that the issue of the overheating barrels is not unique to the AR-15 rifle in any way, and is a bit of an issue with practically all rapid-fire semi-autos, including the M-4.

Although we need to make sure our children are proficient in math and reading, it is vitally important to the future of our democracy that they also learn what it means to be a competent and involved citizen."

POPSSeveral States Ease Restrictions on Gun Laws I say it has nothing to do with the NRA. Some Americans do not have confidence in the American system of Justice, the efforts of local law-enforcement (they're overwhelmed), or the ability to maintain personal security. It's not just rural areas; it's regular folks who are taking responsibility for their own family's protection because the criminal element has become too large for law enforcement to handle. We receive, almost weekly, reports of criminal activity in our own neighborhood. Thankfully, the local police send out the reports, but we have to be aware of them and safeguard of property and children.
