POPSHave you seen this Microsoft House Party Video
Whoa. This thing is dreadful. It's borderline uncomfortable. But I like a good train wreck, so I watched the whole thing. Microsoft is trying to build organic word-of-mouth by encouraging people to host their own Windows 7 parties in their own house. Consumers are encouraged to invite people over and show them how to use the new software in non-threatening environment. It's a good idea in theory, but as it usually is with anything else in marketing - it's all in the execution. Mistake #1: They're trying too damn hard. It's so painfully obvious that the actors were coached to present the information in a very informal, conversational way. Why not have REAL people learn the software and present it in a REAL way? If you don't want to do that - train the actors on the software and have them present it in their REAL voice. Mistake #2: What about some REAL party footage? Ok, if you want to communicate all of the key points via these actors, fine. But show me some real footag

Miss Ball, who had been looking after her mother before she was admitted to the Conquest hospital, Hastings, East Sussex, on Jan 11, said she had to fight hospital staff for weeks before her mother was taken off the plan and given artificial feeding.

It really is a subterfuge for legalised euthanasia of the elderly on the NHS. ”

You are never going to stop it," a former CIA officer on Iran was quoted as saying. "The goal is delay, delay, delay until you can come up with some other solution or approach," he added. "We certainly don't want the current Iranian government to have those weapons. It's a good policy, short of taking them out militarily, which probably carries unacceptable risks."

POPSWhite German al-Qaeda insurgents 
According to German foreign ministry officials a growing number of German families, many of North African descent, have taken up the offer and travelled to Waziristan where supporters say converts make up some of the insurgents' most dedicated fighters. The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which has a foothold in several German cities, has capitalised on growing concern over the rising profile of German forces in Afghanistan. Their role has become increasingly controversial in Germany in recent weeks after dozens of civilians were killed in an air strike ordered by German officers. Last night a foreign ministry spokesman told The Daily Telegraph they were now negotiating with Pakistani authorities for the release of six Germans, including "Adrian M", a white Muslim convert, his Eritrean wife and their four year old daughter, who were arrested as they were making their way to the "German village". They are particularly concerned about the welfare of the child.
