POPSAngel Of The Skies "If we can bring smiles and laughter, even if it is just for a few minutes, to these people, well, then it is worth it," she said. Schmidt 'adopted' Army National Guard Sgt. Tim Gallagher last year and sends care packages on a monthly basis. Although he enjoys the snacks and toiletries, he considers the journals the most moving and thoughtful of all the gifts he has received. "They will be something I cherish for the rest of my life," he said via e-mail. "Something for the ages to look at and see how people really feel about what we are doing here." Even when Schmidt does not have time to put together a care package, she tries to send her soldiers a postcard or short letter. "The morale of soldiers can be made or broken from the amount of mail they do or do not receive." If you would like to adopt a soldier, contact Robin Schmidt at find_robin@hotmail.com.

POPSGoogle targeted in e-mail scam Other addresses include Comcast and Earthlink accounts. It is not clear whether the new list was part of the same phishing attack that collected the Hotmail addresses or a separate scam. "Our guidance to customers is to exercise extreme caution when opening unsolicited attachments and links from both known and unknown sources, and that they install and regularly update their anti-virus software." security expert Graham Cluley of Sophos advised users to change their passwords as soon as possible. "I'd also recommend that people change the password on any other site where they use it," he said. About 40% of people had the same password for every website they used, he added.

POPSLudicrous Diversion (7/7 London Bombing Documentary) The British authorities have, within my living memory, a history of fabricating evidence and falsely convicting people of bombings. See the Birmingham Six , the Guildford Four/Maguire Seven , Judith Ward , Danny McNamee . They also executed Jean Charles de Menezes on the street with a bullet to the head. Their record in regards to terrorism is not the shiniest.

POPSLudicrous Diversion: 7/7 London Bombings Documentary In the most video-surveillance-saturated country on the planet, why have we still not seen any videos of the bombers in action? Nothing? Isn't it strange that London officials were running terrorism drills depicting fictional bombings on the underground at the precise time & place actual bombings occurred ? The British police have a long, well documented history of forcing confessions and tampering with evidence when it comes to bombing convictions. The Birmingham 6. The Guildford 4. The McGuire 7.

POPS Could GDrive From Google "Kill" Off The Desktop PC? Google's rumored "GDrive," a service that would enable users to access their PCs from any Internet connection, could kill off the desktop computer, The Guardian has reported. Google refused to confirm the GDrive, but acknowledged the growing demand for cloud computing. "There's a clear direction ... away from people thinking, 'This is my PC, this is my hard drive,' to 'This is how I interact with information, this is how I interact with the web,'" said Dave Armstrong, head of product and marketing for Google Enterprise.

POPSOpen The Mint To Gold People ask: “Isn’t the Mint already open to gold, producing Gold Eagles and Buffaloes?” Opening the Mint to gold has a technical meaning, namely, opening it to the free and unlimited coinage of gold on private account. The Gold Eagles and Buffaloes are produced on Treasury account in limited quantities and sold at a premium as souvenir coins. It is a ploy to show that gold coins would just not circulate as money. Well, they would if there was no premium and the market was saturated.

POPSATTENTION ALL CLIPPERS IN BEIJING! As you many of you may know, and as the rest of you can now see, I live here in Beijing. I know the city like the back of my hand. (which is to say, better than I know my feet, but not quite as well as I know my chin.) So if any of you are in town for the Olympics, drop me a line at austininchina@hotmail.com and I can give you advice on anything from where to find the oldest temple or $1 Jager Shots, or the best Cassoulet in town. I can also help you get past those pesky Chinese internet censors. Also, although I'm being worked like a slave, if our schedules match up, I'm always up for a BEER.

POPS Intriguing Gmail Feature O' The Day And if you're not a Google Mail user, I'd recommend you'd sign up for a free account for your personal use. As one of the first Hotmail users (I still have my original doug_ross@hotmail.com logon) and a user of about every other web-based email service, Gmail beats the snot out of any competitor I've seen. The spam filtering is rock solid, the threaded messages are awesome, and the automatic memorization of your contacts is rockin'. Give it a try: my bet is that you won't be disappointed.

POPSI Grow Potatoes Too Baby "Could it be that you wanted to be the most popular girl in class and it didn't happen?" one person wrote. In the living room, Kilkenny signed off her Hotmail account as her son, Lief, 17, waited for the family to drive to church. People ask Kilkenny, if she had it to do all over again, would she write the e-mail? She said she would. "I continue to believe that it's important for people to participate as informed voters," she said, "and there is a moral obligation to share what we know about the people that are running for office."
