Want to host a Maori tribe dance? A Utah high school apparently isn’t the place to do it. A group of Polynesian men and boys who spontaneously started a Haka dance at Union High school in Roosevelt, Utah, last week met with an unpleasant surprise: police pepper spray and batons….

October 24, 2011 No Comment
In July we got our first taste of Aliyun OS, running on the W700 . Now, with the Gregorian calendar year coming to a close, Alibaba is prepping its second wave “cloud-powered” hardware. First up is the W800, the successor to the original Aliyun handset. As far as specs go, the two look more or less the same — with the latest version still rocking a 1GHz Tegra 2. The one obvious difference is the slightly larger 4.3-inch display gracing the front of the W800. Perhaps more interesting though, is the still unnamed tablet which also clearly bares NVIDIA branding. Speed and exact model of the CPU inside is anyone’s guess, but we’re assuming this isn’t a Kal-el device. Price and release date for both are a mystery, but the W800 is expected to land sometime before November is out. Of course, you probably shouldn’t expect these to show up in your local Best Buy, but you’ve got a friend in Hong Kong who can send you one, right?

Goldberg: If They Slobber Over Obama in ’12 Like They Did in ’08 ‘Media and the President Would Have to Get a Room’
October 24, 2011 No Comment
Is it possible for the press to gush and fawn over Barack Obama during this upcoming presidential campaign as much as they did in 2008? Political analyst Bernie Goldberg, appearing on Fox News's O'Reilly Factor Monday, didn't think so claiming instead, “If they slobber all over him as much this time as they did last time, the media and the President would have to get a room” (video follows with transcript and commentary): BERNIE GOLDBERG: The media can’t possibly be as enthusiastic this time around as they were last time around. I think that’s a physical impossibility. I mean, if they slobber all over him as much this time as they did last time, the media and the President would have to get a room. But if the question is will they be as enthusiastic, or not as but enthusiastic again, I think the answer is “Yes.” Look, four years ago they picked up their pompoms the media did and put on their short skirts and they went and cheered him because Barack Obama was not Al Gore or John Kerry or Michael Dukakis or one of those guys. He was a historic figure, and they fell madly in love with him, Bill. And it isn’t easy once you fall madly in love with somebody to just a few years later fall out of love with that person. Look, the best indicator of how somebody’s going to act in the future is how they’ve acted in the past, and I think based on that, the media once Obama is facing a real opponent will do what they’ve done in the past and they will be enthusiastic for him again.
