Apple has just released a Red iPod nano to help AIDS victims in Africa. OK, but would’nt it be better to skip buying the nano and spend the $250 and donate directly to AIDS relief? Whats better, trying to look like you made a difference or actually making a difference?

    An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.

    What would make the Israeli Terrorist say such a thing? Because they are not human but are the scum of the Earth.

    If you want to know what a joke and utter piece of shit Sarah Palin really is, you need to read Vanity Fair’s devastating profile of the woman. An amazing insight into the mind of Palin.

    Once, while Sarah was preparing for a city-council meeting, she said, ‘I’m gonna put on one of my push-up bras so I can get what I want tonight.’ That’s how she rolls.”

    Gmail is rolling out “Priority Inbox” a Facebook-like feature that predicts what emails are most important to you.

    As messages come in, Gmail automatically flags some of them as important. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most (if you email Bob a lot, a message from Bob is probably important) and which messages you open and reply to (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over).

    I dont like Facebook telling me who my friends are, and Im not sure I like Gmail telling me what email is more important. I will just have to see how it works once I start seeing the Priority Inbox feature on my Gmail account.

    Guy travels world for 3 years visiting 70 countries in total. This is his account.

    On March 13, 2007, I handed over the keys to my house, put my possessions in storage and headed out to travel around the world with nothing but a backpack, my laptop and a camera.
