- The Oregonian has front page news in this afternoons paper (no url online yet) - headline "Hillsboro man faces charges in plot to aid al-Qaida, Taliban". Paper reports that Hawash traveled to China to attempt to fight with the Taliban at the same time as the others arrested in Portland. Stayed in the same hotels, etc. Before he went, he transferred the house to his wife, and paid off the car loans. Maybe there's more then meets the eye to this stuff. |

This is relatively good news as the technology seems to become more of a standard on pretty much any site you go now. The not so good news is that advertisers go to the extremes and create the most annoying ads in Flash. You see, ads that are silent and confined to their boundaries are ok with most Internet surfers. Some pay attention to the blinking and moving ones, others do not. |
