+ - SPAM: The Bible is to Liberal 0

Submitted by DesertBlade on Monday October 05, 2009 @03:36PM

DesertBlade writes "Looks like some people find the Bible to Liberal. They would like to rewrite, pardon translate it, to reflect the truer and more correct conservatism message that it really stands for. By definition Jesus was a liberal changing the orthodox beliefs for many. If the conservatives changes the bible to make it more conservative, doesn't that make them liberal?"

My question is what took them so long?"

DesertBlade writes "With all the talk of Apple's multitouch, what is the next step? Microsoft and Mitsubishi Research have a prototype of Lucid a multitouch that interacts from the back of the screen. While still early and a little bulky, it does have potential. Could this interface be the next 'big' thing for handhelds?"

It is now the next gen console champ with worldwide sales of 10.6 million, compared to 10.5 million xbox 360s. Sony has a pitiful 4.3 million sold. While the Xbox and PS3 try to be a media center being able to play DVDs and Bluerays the Wii focuses on being a gaming platform for the masses."

+ - Office 14 in the works

Submitted by DesertBlade on Thursday February 15, 2007 @02:09PM

DesertBlade writes "I reported earlier that the next windows OS is due in 2 years. It looks like Microsoft Office is on the same timeline. Microsoft is skipping over Office 13 because of the stigma with the number 13 and moving on to Office 14. There looks to be a lot of changes for 'enterprise use' but it is still in the early plnning phase. They are planning on spend around $930 million A YEAR for development. With spending like that it should be something."

+ - CEO resigns over 'Lite Brite'

Submitted by DesertBlade on Friday February 09, 2007 @05:21PM

DesertBlade writes "The CEO of Cartoon Network has resigned over the bomb scare. Turner ended up paying over 2 million in restitution and the city of Boston coming to a stand still over some lite brites. I for one do not want to live in a glass box being scared of everything, and with governments over reacting just fuels the fear. Are we becoming scared of our own shadow?"
