POPSMalaysiakini: Zulkifli defends his action at Bar forum Juxtapose what YB Zulkifli says in this article with the various scenes we've seen via YouTube, there seems to be some serious disconnect. Whether he likes it or not, realizes it or not, Islamization affects EVERY Tom, Dick and Harry in the nation...

POPSHow About The Home Front? Of course the home front is not nearly as lucrative as contracts for cronies like Halliburton and other well-connected companies who luvs to get their greedy hands on big, oh, so mouth watering pieces of the Iraq destruction/reconstruction pie.

POPStheir greatest crime of all--ignoring the climate change
He added that they should, in his opinion, "be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature… I anticipate testifying against relevant CEOs in future public trials." That's a novel thought in our nation's capital. Oh, and while he was at it, he probably should have thrown in George W., Dick C., and crew. What they haven't done (and what they've blocked from being done) over these last eight years may turn out to be their greatest crime of all. Talk about smoking guns... or is it melting ice? And here's the sad thing, as with so much else in these last years, the only way global warming has gotten the slightest respect in Bush's Washington is as a national security issue. Big surprise. The Navy, for instance, was already holding a symposium entitled "Naval operations in an Ice-Free Arctic" in April 2001; now, it seems that by 2010, or 2015 at the latest, it may have its wish -- an iceless Arctic Ocean in the summer for the first time in perhaps one million years and a scramble for

POPSOpen Source Learning - Richard Baraniuk He talks about the way education will be more interactive, and reciprocal. Some of what he was saying reminded me of the way clipmarks, or wikki work.

POPSYou remember Al Qaeda, right? The Anchoress, who came to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And she was fresh out of bubblegum. Yeah, that guy! The guy who does more than just talk about freedom and progress. The guy who has brought real hope and change to people all over the world, and yes, here in America. But you don’t want to hear it. It’s the wrong and inconvenient narrative, the embargoed one.

POPSScanning the brain in real time Learning to control your own mind. There have been three ways to affect the brain.(for argument's sake) the psychiatrist's couch, the knife, and with medication.

POPSSpam for McCain and Win Prizes! I'm not sure what this is supposed to accomplish. Unless the intended message is that McCain supporters are really trollish and annoying, it's hard to see how this could possibly succeed. Freepers have been pulling this crap for years and they're still a distinct minority -- they've failed completely to turn the internet into a gathering of right wing nutsacks. Seems like a waste of money. This isn't exactly a new development, but it's nice to see it's finally getting some mainstream press.

POPSWhen Google Owns You So, what happens now? What does Nick do? He’s sent a bunch of emails. But now what? Locked out of ALL of Google’s apps, the apps that I praise daily, the apps where Julien Smith and I are writing a book. Should we be doing that? I didn’t see a problem until this. What if we’re the next Nick? What’s your take? And what do you think of hands off customer service in this case?
