voodoo child @ 01/08/2004 12:23 AM (Jan 10 2004 05:56 GMT) - hahahah no i just wanted to get it out of the way!!! Make an appointment for an evening at Macy's downtown (not as many people as on a weekend), spend about 4 hours or so, just pointing and ordering. You can also register online (easier but you don't get to touch and all that tactile stuff) It's fun. Hit up Crate & Barrel cause it's right across the street. I found that to be easier. |

FCC names broadband as issue for year (Jan 10 2004 05:55 GMT) - The FCC has named broadband as it's cause of the year, with chairman Michael Powell saying at CES that it should be expanded on, and new technologies that take advantage of it, like Voice over IP phone services, should not be killed off before they have a chance to be great. "We should be starting on the cleanest slate possible," he said. Powell also spoke of changing the way media and information is delivered, like with his TiVo: "Why I like my TiVo is I'm the programmer, instead of NBC or ABC or CBS." This makes me more than a little confused, as Powell was the spearhead of the movement to loosen regulations on media ownership, which has been shown in the past as only bad for consumers, and their right to choose. |

I'm no purist but this was fucking horrible. |

'Cuba Tightens Its Control Over Internet ' (Jan 10 2004 05:53 GMT) - Yahoo Cuba tightened its controls over the Internet on Friday, prohibiting access over the low-cost government phone service most ordinary citizens have at home. The move could affect hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Cubans who illegally access the Internet from their homes, using computers and Internet accounts they have borrowed or purchased on the black market. Cuba's communist government already heavily controls access to the Internet. Cubans must have government permission to use the Web legally and most don't, although many can access international e-mail and a more limited government-controlled intranet at government jobs and schools. Now Cubans will need additional approval to access via the nation's regular phone service. |

"We are a country which is (partially) occupied, and from time to time we are exposed to Israeli aggression," Assad told the London-based Daily Telegraph newspaper. That is a joke. |

'Police Raid China Newspaper That Reported New SARS Case' (Jan 10 2004 05:53 GMT) - NYTimes The police stormed the offices of one of China's most pugnacious newspapers and detained the top editor and six other officials in what many journalists regarded as retribution for aggressive reporting on a recent SARS case, employees said Wednesday. The newspaper, Southern Metropolis Daily, was the first media outlet to report on a fresh outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in Guangzhou, the paper's hometown. The paper's investigation late last month prompted authorities to confirm that China had its first suspected case of SARS since the epidemic that petered out last summer. Southern Metropolis Daily also came under heavy political pressure last spring when it exposed the beating death of a migrant worker in police custody, a case that eventually led the central government to abolish longstanding rules that allowed police to detain migrants at will. |
