Do you like fast-forwarding through commercials on a television program you’ve recorded? How much do you like it? Enough to go to jail if you’re caught doing it? If a new copyright and intellectual property omnibus bill sitting on Congress’s desk passes, that may be the choice you'll face.
Let's hope this legislation goes lame duck like this session of Congress.

VW Beetle days coming to end.
I had a '68 as my college car in the 70's. Girls loved it. Got me where I wanted to go (most of the time). The
cute car of the 50's and 60's. Have one? Had one?

How would you like to control the entire universe,
both what goes within you and what happens with others?
As you can imagine when you can knock down attackers from 10 feet away or heal someone dying from something just using your own energy- that is true personal power!
Others are
skeptical. I think I will hold on to my $19.99. The movies are entertaining, though.

Never before had a certified aircraft used a parachute to land. But that all changed Thursday afternoon when a pilot in distress used Cirrus' parachute system to successfully bring his disabled airplane to earth.
Plane malfunctioning?

Intimate Media.
As computers steadily move into every aspect of personal life, MiME proposes that instead of allowing intimate media to disappear into the computer, artifacts and systems should be designed to better promote human experiences around the collection, storage and sharing of intimate media.
Interesting research by Philips. How will you share your personal artifacts in the future?

Congressional Leak.
Can't wait? Do as a congressman does. It even was considered a security issue because of where he took a leak. Now that's paranoia....
