POPScomputer timeline "Everyone knows that technology is more expensive when it first comes out. When we compare the availability and cost of personal computers in 1977 to 2008, we can begin to see how much cheaper technology is available for today." This is interesting article and im gonna save it refer it to others in future.

POPSData Breaches Expose 30M Records in '08 Some states require entities to alert consumers of a data breach: I have been notified on three occasions (by my credit card company and a hospital and the VA) of my data being ‘lost’ and each time the date of the letter was 6-8 months after the fact. How does notification help in these cases? If only these companies protected my information as if it were their own. Most of us secure our data while on our own computer, but when our personal information is given to others we become vulnerable and subject to whatever level of seriousness corporations (and the government) extend to preventing a data breach. As long as himans are involved we will always be at risk.

POPSU.S. Budget Deficit: $438 Billion AP clip, via our Washington feed http://www.forbes.com/breakingnews/AP_Washington_full.html, also points to the current administration's poor track record in fiscal matters. "A later promise to cut the deficit in half by the time Bush leaves office is in tatters," story says, "and virtually no one takes seriously his proposed path to a balanced budget by 2012."

POPSThe Saddest Sad Songs Of All Time! I picked a few of my favourites. See the list and lyrics at the site. I couldn't get through life without music as a backdrop. Where would we be without it? If you need a rest from politics, just copy/paste a title and go youtubing . Even sad songs can make you happy. I heard this song when I was a little girl and my Dad told me it was about a dog (that probably drowned) and I bawled my eyes out! I still do! :D :cry: :cry: Anyway, remember. Jumping off cliffs not allowed! . ;) Clip Song (Not sad, even!)

POPSLiberate Sarah (lol) Step Two involves Jeremiah Wright. he fact is the only Democrats to win the presidency in the past 40 years -- Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton -- distanced themselves from liberal orthodoxy. Obama is, by contrast, a garden-variety liberal. He also has radical associates in his past. The most famous of these is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.... Brilliant. In the midst of a Wall Street crisis, and with McCain getting hammered for ignoring the middle class, Kristol wants McCain to talk about the former pastorat Obama's former church. Yeah, that will win voters over. If Democrats are very lucky, McCain will take Kristol's advice.

POPSGoogle analytics and Search Engine Ranking
As I am hardly involved in forums and I am spending my 5 to 6 hours in forum reading and also I am sharing and getting knowledge from forums. Today while surfing on popular forum, one of my forum friend gave us nice and interesting topic to discussion and we all were silent after this opic. Topic was “can there be any problem for ranking if we are using Google analytics in our site” definitely, first of all we all will say that no, but logic behind topic is, Google crawls our sites and we install Google analytics in our site to allow Google to track our site visitors from different location from worldwide. Means, we allow Google to access our traffic detail. Here topic starts. When some time we get high traffic from other activities like, directory submission, social bookmarking, press release submission and main is email marketing. If some time we stop this all activities, than we got effect on visitors, as we lost our visitor and our visitor graph goes down, in that cases, as goggl

POPSOut pours a waterfall of GOP buzzwords ... "The American people are asking of the candidates a serious question: how will you put our country back on track? Rather than provide a direct answer, the McCain campaign has exhibited a wholesale embrace of the tactic that Palin has made legend: it is attempting the change the subject to distract from the fact that it has no acceptable answer"

POPSThe World's Greatest Aviation Innovations 9. The flying wing -- Yves Rossy keeps breaking records and defying expectations with his 8-foot-diameter, carbon composite flying wing. Last week he made a successful 13 minute, 125 mph trip across the English Channel. 10. Stealth aircraft -- What's cooler than a plane that can outsmart radar? Because the surfaces of a stealth are designed to absorb radio waves or reflect them away from the receiver, stealth planes can sneak in and sneak out undetected. Too bad they're so expensive: The 21 plane B-2 program cost over $45 billion. 11. Jetway -- Another one most of us don't think about is the long covered walkway the connects our departure gate with our plane. 12. Deicing -- Ice buildup is the cause of many fatal aircraft accidents, which is why applying monopropylene de-icing fluid to wings pre-flight has become standard operating procedure.

POPSAPPLE GENIUS WORTH 8.4 BILLION: Guardian.co.uk's charles ARTHUR
The author puts a keen focus on how we gave Apple enough information to make 8.4 billion seem fair. Extremely sharp and incisive. I learned a lot. I think Mr. Arthur is a bit too quick to be interpreting Steve's algorithm at this point. I find that the program is genius in large part because while Steve Jobs and Apple™ know the tempo of every song to a frightening accuracy. Five seconds of silent thought will tell you the reasons Mr. Jobs will not fill in a BPM (beats per minute) column. To truly understand the tempo manipulation: you;d need to see the algorithm itself! So said, knowing the speeds of the songs I play on drums (it's the drums or the treadmill - I'm doing the exercise thing), I find the program to be almost wildly genius. What's wildly evil os that 1) Apple knows but will not divulge BPM; 2) Apple uses the tempo element of you collection on playlists made for you that are so good that when I play I do not even look at what is coming next as iy has all been so
