POPSBecoming too reliant and emotionally attached to your personal computer RAM (Random Access Memory) is an animation about becoming too reliant and emotionally attached to your personal computer. It is an exaggeration of my research on recent trends of dependency and attachment found in children for their PCs, especially in the US and UK. The animation centres on the interaction between two boys, Mark and Tylr, while the technical focus of the piece is on animation, particularly facial animation. The style of the piece is based on Japanese anime, which has already been used for many technological and sci-fi series, and is born from a country famous for its technophilia and tendency to use technology for fun and companionship. The voice actors I used were children I overheard at a comic book store, and while most of the dialogue is scripted, I also made use of excess recordings that were just too lol to not use. Enjoy!

POPSRichmond gang rape seen as "nearly inevitable"
More: English teacher Jessica Price, who knows the victim and most of the arrested suspects, said the girl has helped in conflict-mediation groups wanted to join the Police Explorers, a Boy Scouts group that lets boys and girls learn law enforcement with local police… That such a girl could be so brutalized speaks more to a pack mentality, stoked by booze and street machismo, than it does to the general character of Richmond High's youths, Price said. "Those boys who did what they did weren't picturing that girl as a human," she said. "I think you see these kinds of boys at a lot of high schools - so desensitized it was like they saw her as a toy. Boys like that - there aren't many like them, but they can be so hard. All they needed was something to set them off." She told a school district safety panel last week that some girls trying to find out who had watched the rape were being threatened in the hallways - and that, too, she blames on a desensitized mentality.

POPSMilitary Service Training Ground For Sexual Predation This article is quite comprehensive in scope and deserves a full reading. A few more paragraphs from it follow this remark. "Yet for decades, in spite of the terrible numbers, the military has managed with astonishing success to get away with responding to grievances like Krause's with silence, or denial, or by blaming "a few bad apples." But when individual soldiers take the blame, the system gets off the hook. And it can be shown that the patterns of military sex crimes are old and widespread -- for generations, military service has transformed large numbers of American boys into sexual predators. So it seems reasonable to ask if perhaps there is something about military culture or training or experience that can be identified as causative, and then, perhaps, changed."

POPSMitterrand refuses to resign over book The current furor was fanned by Mitterrand's vocal support for filmmaker Roman Polanski, wanted in Los Angeles by authorities who want him to serve a sentence for his 1977 conviction for having sex with a 13-year-old girl. Mitterand told TF1 he was "too emotional" when he denounced Polanski's arrest in Switzerland as "horrifying." Mitterand said that he may move to a more congenial environment, such as Ireland, in the near future.

POPSWhy Girls Have BFFs and Boys Hang Out in Packs "The authors of the study are reluctant to draw such broad conclusions about the gender disparities. "There are many different possible explanations," says NIMH neuroscientist Daniel Pine, who suggests a much more ordinary reason for the girls' more emotional response. "It might be possible that the girls are trying to remember what they wrote earlier ," he says. "You can imagine a scenario where they say, 'Oh, did I write something bad about that girl?' Boys are simply doing that less." In other words, it may be that boys are cads because they're not wired to be any other way."

POPSBad boys in the Hood: Russell Crowe, Scott 'clash on film set' Growly Gladiator star Russell Crowe and film director pal Ridley Scott are rumoured to have clashed on the set of new men in tights flick Robin Hood, according to online reports. The big-budget project has been dogged by rumours of on-set strife - reportedly catalysed by location difficulties, the departure of leading damsel Sienna Miller (she quit, or rather was rumoured to have been "let go", because her diminutive frame made portly co-star Crowe look like an earthly Jabba the Hutt), and most importantly, rumours of a lingering and long running feud between Crowe and Scott.

POPSObama: Normandy. Inchon. Khe San. Gettysburg, et. al.
It's Not that the content of President Obama's speechs are extraordinary or his ability to give one second to none but for those of us who notice such things he goes around hitting Home Runs out of the ballpark like he's Babe Ruth or Hank Arron...or you might say he's a striker who's gonna take the team to the World Cup. Put aside all the criticism he gets daily in the corrosive media - he has a tremendous love of his country, it's struggles and it's history . It's very inclusive of us all. Finally, after 65 years of praising Normandy someone mentions Inchon & Khe San. It's also very balanced, he see the good and the bad but knows that better is better. He's said, 4example, the war in Iraq was W-R-O-N-G. Has any president every said a war was wrong before? Of course this may not be everyone's cup of tea but to honor the dead soldier in a nation's struggles is a worldwide and (sorrowful) eternal task, Here, his speech tolls the Liberty Bell. May we all come to rest in

POPSRNC's below-the-belt shot at Pelosi The RNC video, which begins with the speaker’s head in the iconic spy-series gun sight... WTF? Oh, right, it's the GOP, which can jokingly threaten the use of guns against their political adversaries instead of engaging in debate, and it's just considered "funny." It wasn't so funny for 2 "liberal" church-goers who were gunned down by a right-winger whose hatred for liberals was incited by right-wing hate radio. Hate and fear are all the GOP have left. I don't defend Pelosi, in fact I'd like to see her gone from politics, but this little joke is beyond the pale. It is adolescent, offensive, and downright un-American.
