So you think a politician is better equipped to weigh long-term decision making in the realm of science, vs a scientist who might possibly understand the language, risks, methodology used in describing potential crises and future developement? Good luck with that. That's where we are today - crippled by the religion of politics where only the loudest hungry voice or needy lobbyist is heard. God forbid a person with knowledge earned is asked to weigh evidence and drive policy.

Nope, I use it for 7-10 hour plane flights and it reads fine. I use DSReader for top-bottom reading, and when my eyes or hands get tired, switch to the Readmore app to read it like a book. You can change the font, font size, the background/text color, etc until its comfortable to read. I haven't found any homebrew that offers an auto-scroller, but otherwise this is the best handheld reader that I've used.

AP Suspends DoD Over Altered US Army Photo 622

djupedal notes a story up at the BBC about the Associated Press's suspension of the use of Department of Defense photos after a photo of General Ann Dunwoody was found to have been altered (before and after comparison). "The Pentagon has become embroiled in a row after the US Army released a photo of a general to the media which was found to have been digitally altered. Ann Dunwoody was shown in front of the US flag but it later emerged that this background had been added. The Associated Press news agency subsequently suspended the use of US Department of Defense photos. 'For us, there's a zero-tolerance policy of adding or subtracting actual content from an image,' said Santiago Lyon, AP's director of photography."
