- Ha'aretz: Hamas leaders in Gaza on Saturday warned Israel that the group's armed wing would carry out an attack to avenge the deaths of two senior members of the group, who were killed in an Israel Defense Forces operation the day before at the Askar refugee camp, in the West Bank city of Nablus. "We are still committed to the truce but we will react against the Zionist enemy crimes," senior Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi said. "Hamas's military wing, the Iz a Din al-Kassam Brigades, has decided to react against the Nablus crimes." IDF troops operating in the West Bank on Saturday arrested four Hamas militants who, according to the defense establishment, were planning to carry out terror attacks to avenge the deaths of Hamas militants killed during the raid, Army Radio reported. |

- Java handhelds are less secure than desktops, according to Shlomo Touboul: Given the relatively limited hardware capabilities of these small devices, he says, "when they put Java into the handset, they took out most of the security in the JVM Java virtual machine]." While that may be little more than a self-serving observation from the San Jose-based data security firm, it's worth considering as companies begin distributing Java phones and PDAs to mobile workers. It's also worth pondering by the network providers that may become a legal target of those who lose precious data due to lax security. Touboul argues that less technically sophisticated handheld users have vastly different expectations of the providers that offer "air-time services" and the devices that consume them. |

- AP via The Guardian: American and West African military officers ventured into Monrovia's rebel-held port for the first time Saturday and found aid warehouses looted and corpses floating by the docks. With days left in President Charles Taylor's regime, his spokesman warned that government fighters might create chaos when he leaves. "We are ready to kill and steal anytime,'' said a marijuana-toking government fighter, who goes by the name Red Devil. He spoke at an abandoned, bullet-pocked hotel serving as an outpost for Taylor's fighters on war-divided Monrovia's urban front lines. |

- Guess who this is?! If you guessed Charles you win the prize. We met at Uncommon Grounds (obviously a java joint) and had a great two hour conversation. I think it's safe to say (at least from my viewpoint) that we hit it off big time. Meeting a fellow blog buddy is interesting - one's entire relationship prior to meeting has been developed via blogs, blog comments, and the occasional e-mail. |
