An interesting perspective on the recent riots

Peace Be Upon You http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/human_nature/2012/09/mohammed_movie_embassy_attacks_don_t_let_internet_videos_drive_you_to_violence_.html

Take a look at this opinion piece. He contends that the rioters are falling into the 'script' set by the film's creators by rioting. They need to get out of that place and back into THEIR place. Of course, maybe this IS the place where radical leaders WANT them to be for their own purposes.

Either way, they are being manipulated for some purpose.

Don't let someone else take you to a place you don't want to be. On the Internet, if you don't like the place you're at, leave.

News360 Upgrade looks good but crashes constantly

I just installed the new upgrade of News360 on my Acer A100. The interface looks great but the program crashes every few seconds making it useless. I guess the authors didn't bother to test it. A good place ruined. Hope they put out a revision correcting the flaws soon. It looks like a good advance on a place that I have enjoyed.

Twitter targets ads -- great

I'm trying this more as a test than actual interest in the subject, but sheesh. Just what we need in one of our places, more ads.

So I'm trying out the options on my Android tablet for referencing articles on websites. This one is the interface to Blogger from the browser. It seems to have worked as advertised to post this blog.
