SUNDAYS ODDS & ENDS

In the new Cyprus vehicle code, it is now illegal to abandon your vehicle while it is in motion.

I mentioned before about the newer Mac's ability to be operated remotely and how victims of thefts have captured images from the built in camera of its new location and people around it. Now a new memory card for digital cameras automatically search for compatible wifi sources and download images back to your home PC.






"Let's all be careful out there!"

DAILY CHUCKLE












"Let's all be careful out there!"

18 MILLION CRACKS

IN THE GLASS CEILING

"The 50th woman to leave this Earth is orbiting overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House."

"Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it, and the light is shining through like never before, filling us all with the hope and the sure knowledge that the path will be a little easier next time." - Hillary Clinton

Probably the best speech she gave for the past year.


Now McCain & Co. must deal with walking the narrow path to avoid even simply implying race as an issue between now and November. I don't think John will have a problem but controlling more hardcore elements of his party may be problematic. After Hillary's barely veiled racist statements torpedoed her already failing effort, they should have learned a lesson, but people have a tendency to engage their mouths before releasing the clutch on their brain.

The billionaire co-founder of telecoms equipment maker Broadcom, Henry T Nicholas III, has a lot of trouble to deal with over the next few years.

The Phoenix Mars Lander is experiencing some unanticipated problems.

The recent outbreak of salmonella in Texas and New Mexico tomatoes has spread to 16 states and now the McDonalds in Canada are discontinuing the use of tomatoes on their sandwiches. A precautionary move. To prevent ingesting the bacteria, you just need to wash the tomatoes in warm water or cook them at 140+ degrees.

The City of Los Angeles is suing Time-Warner Cable for "lousy service".

And ComCast has its own problems over a "right arm" check that got published on the web.

Thank you for dropping in. I'll be back later with more and hope you can join me.

Enjoy your Sunday.
