POPSSeed behemoth Monsanto stumbles into antitrust trouble (2) The Monsanto strategy of industry domination has worked brilliantly. It must be irritating to be so reviled for such success. Can the money really make up for the notoriety? It must also be a drag trying to pretend that GM is the answer to world food shortages, when independent studies indicate that the technology does not even increase yield after the first couple of years. By then the farmers are dependent. It's the classic drug-pusher marketing technique which is why it is so successful and so damaging.

POPSROUND-UP.....to Extinction Declining competition in the seed business could lead to price hikes that ripple out to every family's dinner table. That's because the corn flakes you had for breakfast, soda you drank at lunch and beef stew you ate for dinner likely were produced from crops grown with Monsanto's patented genes. Monsanto's methods are spelled out in a series of confidential commercial licensing agreements obtained by the AP. The contracts, as long as 30 pages, include basic terms for the selling of engineered crops resistant to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, along with shorter supplementary agreements that address new Monsanto traits or other contract amendments.

POPSGenetic Diseases & Pedigree Dogs Can't help wondering about how our obsession with genetic health solutions compare to natural selection and biodiversity? I can't help but feel most of the time humans are particularly short-sighted seeing such a brief, brief, brief glimpse in the grander vaster scheme of things and hence make decisions, rules, laws based on this - with results that are life depleting rather than life enhancing (to ALL LIFE).

POPScustomer profiling for Software Marketing Cash crunch in the economy has badly affected the investment mood of buyers. This true in technology based industries and in software implementation. Even the best in class software solution vendors are running dry with few customers.

POPSThe real threat to "traditional" marriage: heterosexual couples who don't think the way they're supposed to The money quote: "There is a greater expectation that women will work, men will be more involved with their children, and household duties will be more evenly shared... In essence, straight couples are 'queering' heterosexual marriage... If neither partner conforms to his or her 'unique role,' heterosexual marriage starts to look like its same-sex counterpart and illustrates that those 'unique' gendered roles aren't as unique as the bishops claim they are. If in a heterosexual marriage a man can provide nurturing and emotional sensitivity and a woman can provide leadership and effective decision-making skills, could they not bring these traits to a same-sex marriage?"

POPSFIFA: Playoff Row Rumbles On
i tend to keep my sports preferences to myself but there's something about the Ireland-France World cup qualifier that is deeply offensive, offensive on levels deeper than just sports. I like the USA way of handling such decisions. FIFA has an attitude I associate with decadent European aristocracy, basically saying: "Too bad. Tough luck. We have made our decision (i.e. wrong decision) and there is nothing you can do about it." In the USA, one of our positive traits is to do something about clear injustice or wrong; at least try: We never had kings; never will. Re: T. Henry -- maybe FIFA should change the name of the game to "Handfootball." That way, if France wins the World Cup, at least it will be clear what game they are playing. The solution, obviously, would be to have video replay reviews -- other ideas such as an extra ref behind the goal and/or the refs talking decisions over might help. But as it stands now, the World Cup is tainted by this admitted cheating

POPSUnlocked Sony Ericsson W580i With ingenious design traits and a 14mm thin profile, this is an unlocked phone that you can’t afford not to have. It can easily fit in your pocket and the 2-inch screen is good enough to fit a lot of information on it. The internal memory is suitable enough to store a couple songs, but if you are looking to keep your collection on it, then the memory stick micro will have to do. GPRS is onboard for those who need the extra power and while there isn’t 3G, calls still come in very clear.
