Saw this on Top Gear the other day and then found it on the Net. I think if I were Jeremy Clarkson, I would probably cry too, like he does after breaking the 400 KPH barrier in a car. Although I disagree with their statement that the Buggati is faster than an F1 […]

    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.

    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.
