Democrats’ Donkey and History of a Political Party It’s All About the Advertising Google’s entry into hardware products, with the introduction of Nexus One, is not about selling phones – it’s ultimately about maintaining and increasing advertising revenue as we enter the age of “everything mobile.” More and more people around the world will be using their phones to access the Internet, and Google needs to connect to these people as this connection translates to revenue. Cyber Militia U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) 2009 annual report describes the creation of Information Warfare Militia units of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), in which commercial IT professionals and academics are recruited to draw on broader professional skill sets in a region. These groups, in connection with state-approved citizen hacker units, have become adept at precisely targeting and harvesting information from Western computing resources, in both government and private. Can You Talk Like Our Presidents? “That depends on what the definition of is, is.” Bill Clinton “I’m President of the United States, and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.” George H. W. Bush “You can tell a lot about a fellow’s character by his way of eating jellybeans.” Ronald Reagan “I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.” George W. Bush “The reform we seek brings greater competition, choice, savings, and inefficiencies to our healthcare system.” Barack Obama Way to Go Google Google has had enough of the Chinese government and is ready to leave their $600 million annual revenue behind. Google had previously accepted self censorship in order to stay in China. But, recent attacks on e-mail accounts of human rights activists have made it difficult to continue serving China’s 338 million Internet users.

Internet Infamous Criminals are using the Internet to toy with police and gain fame. A fugitive, Craig (lazie) Lynch, who escaped from an English prison in September 2009 is becoming a worldwide phenomena. He had 40,000 friends on Facebook (his profile was recently taken down) and was asking his friends to call 999 (the British 911) if they saw him. For similar criminals, fans and friends have created supportive Web sites with some eye-catching names such as “Run-Leo-run” for a guy who stole $10,000,000 and “fly-Colton-fly” for a young guy who graduated from stealing cars to stealing private aircrafts. With the help of the Internet, these people are becoming modern folk heroes. Can you imagine if they had Internet at the time of Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, or others like them? Project Blue Book The United States Air Force retired its records on Project Blue Book to the custody of the National Archives.

We need to go out and prove that.” Soccer manager, Steve McClaren “Wow, if only faces could talk.” John Madden, broadcaster and commentator
