POPSBurrito Eater: San Francisco's Top Resource for Taquerias (and Mustaches) Sadly, they really are SF-only – no East Bay taquerias or taco trucks are included. More: Burritoeater.com aims to be the Web’s most complete source of information on San Francisco taquerias – where they’re located, what they look like, if they’re open late, whether they serve breakfast, what the SF Department of Public Health says about them, which ones double as cell phone retailers, etc. etc. And while we realize that food may be one of the most objectively regarded things in life, we’re not shy about offering our opinion on any given burrito shop in town.

POPSChristians and Muslims Celebrate Christmas Holidays In Baghdad Even before I can ask Interior Ministry spokesman Major-General Abdul Karim Khalaf a question, he greets me with a big smile. "All Iraqis are Christian today!" he says. Many of the people attending the Christmas celebration appear to be Muslims, with women wearing head scarves. Suad Mahmoud, holding her 16-month-old daughter, Sara, tells me she is indeed Muslim, but she's very happy to be here. "My mother's birthday also is this month, so we celebrate all occasions," she says, "especially in this lovely month of Christmas and New Year." Father Saad Sirop Hanna, a Chaldean Christian priest, is here too. He was kidnapped by militants in 2006 and held for 28 days. He knows firsthand how difficult the lot of Christians in Iraq is but, he tells me, "We are just attesting that things are changing in Baghdad, slowly, but we hope that this change actually is real. We will wait for the future to tell us the truth about this."

POPSSteve Jobs' iTunes dance I love the brand and the little detail put into each product: the Cover Flow in iTunes, the proximity sensor on the awaited iPhone, the recently featured 2-finger scrolling trackpad viewed at cnettv.com, and even the magnetic power cord. But this DRM-thing...

POPSPainter Tim O'Brien Every hair is articulated in Tim O’Brien’s small perfect portraits, every hair of the eyebrows and mustaches. They are idealized, bathed in a golden glow. But they are also 100 percent human. "When we had drawing in nursery school, everyone, the kids and the teachers, would stand behind me and watch. I could draw things in perspective. I had a photographic memory and good hand-eye coordination. And I liked all that attention." O'Brien has 9 paintings in the National Gallery in Washington, DC and is the youngest artist included in the recent update of "The Illustrator in America, 1880-2000."
