Chortler -- Bush Personally Thanks Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and Prince Charles For Keeping Iraq Out Of Headlines United States President George W. Bush congratulated Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and Prince Charles today for becoming involved in major scandals that kept Iraq out of the headlines.

“At this crucial time in our history, when keeping people uninformed has never been more important, these celebrities stood up and performed shocking deeds which shifted attention away from what really matters,” President Bush stated.

Bush went on to heap praise on Martha Stewart, Robert Blake and Kobe Byrant for their efforts in preventing ink from being wasted on covering Iraq.

“In our time of great need, their megalomaniacal behavior which led them to think they were above the law has contributed greatly to the American people not having the slightest clue of what's going on in Iraq. For that I am truly grateful,” Bush concluded.

Wired News: Redford Retrofits Green Building

Redford, a longtime environmental activist born and raised in Santa Monica, said the building symbolized a step forward for the conservation movement, which he said had been dealt setbacks by the Bush administration.


"We are now suffering through an administration that has, in a very calculating way, set out to undermine and destroy 30 years of hard work," he said.


"There's never been a time in my life when I've felt so challenged as a country, so challenged on the environment, as we are now."

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

No crappy media center on mac Asked about Apple's interest in selling Macs that could serve up the video recording abilities Microsoft offers with its Windows XP Media Center Edition, Jobs joked that Apple was instead focused on melding the computer with a toaster.

"I never get mine quite brown," said Phil Schiller, vice president of marketing. "We can do an up-sell for bagels."

Jobs said that he doesn't see such products creating a big market.

"We're not going to go that direction," Jobs said. "There is a small audience that likes this."

Jobs said there are several problems with the Media Center concept, in particular the wide divergence in the way people want to watch television as compared with how they use a computer. "Generally what they want to view on television has to do with turning their mind off," he said.

Too much INFORMATION More information has been produced and stored in the past five years, than at any time in human history. E-mails, text messages, mobile phone calls, TV, websites. We are drowning in the stuff. But how much of it has added to the sum of human knowledge? And has anyone thought what it is doing to our brains? "As a result, there are fewer "big thinkers". It has become harder to see the bigger picture, because it has simply become too big.

And, he argues, if your ideas are constantly reviewed against everyone else's, there is arguably less room for idiosyncratic and original thinking.

"I don't think creativity will disappear entirely, but it has become a world of expertise in a more limited field.

"The big thinkers who try to make sense of a whole area of science are fairly rare."
