This is for me and Victor, links to some English kid's songs: A Tisket a Tasket This Old Man Bingo My Bonnie Of course there are more songs there. Just don't know the lyrics to all the kids songs, the Internet is a great resource.

Here's a link to a little mishap during a demonstration where they showed the Mercedes automatic radar braking system in their S-class series. The idea is that the car is supposed to brake for you automatically, except in this case it didn't. Looks like it was because they were inside a building and it confused the radar.

Cool , looks like Wolfe Island near Kingston might get nearly 200 megawatts from wind power. I can vouch that Kingston has a lot of wind.

Once again I'm going to talk about this laptop . I think the key feature of this laptop is to supplant books and paper for children going to school. I think that very quickly more and better free textbooks will become available. Schools and governments will make some of their textbooks and class notes available under Creative Commons type copy protection allowing others to translate to their language or make audio versions available, for example. The latest news is that the $100.00 laptop will use Linux and not Apple OS X, Sun OS or MS Windows, as some suggested. I would be willing to devote some of my time to help bring tools or software to this platform. For example, a better version of TuxPaint . Click image to see some more pictures. Another interesting point that Negroponte made is that, as the technology becomes cheaper, they plan to make the laptop cost less than $100.00, rather than making a better version of the same device at the same price. If this is true it mean...

Sync has a short piece about a 34-year-old guy named "Ray Digerati" who placed an ad of Craig's list that said "WILL FIX COMPUTERS FOR SEXUAL FAVORS," and he says it's been non-stop action ever since. Most of the calls I get are for spyware removal and viruses. One girl didn't even wait for me to finish the virus scan—she just grabbed me and gave me a blow job. Do you have a set, um, pay scale?

If it's something simple that I can fix in 15 minutes, I'd like to get a foot massage. Reminds me of a joke from a Woody Allen film, What's New, Pussycat : Woody: I've got this job at the strip joint helping the women ge...
