I simply assumed that SA is a non-profit organization that help people in need whoever they are. Having had the opportunity to read their positions on anything (especially abortion, homo sexuality, pornography etc), I am simply taking my donations elsewhere.

The biblical/scripture references scare me really! What is the need for SA to take a stand? I don't know and until then, good bye.

A decade for housing prices to recover?

http://i.usatoday.net/news/graphics/housing_prices/home_prices.pdf

I am little bit more optimistic than that. In fact, the usa today report is the worst case scenario IMO. My prediction is that the housing market will start the recovery in 2010 as the economy rebounds.

Obama's rumoured Energy secretary pick

It is said that understanding the problem gets you half way there into solving the problem. This guy knows what he is talking about and he has scars to prove it.

Exhibit A

We have passed the point of no return in climate physics where crucial action, critical thinking and understanding/acknowleding the problem is more important than ever. And he is the guy w/o the political background. Lets give scientist a chance.

I pray that Obama taps him as the rumour goes.

I just feel sorry for this guy

What has happended to America's pride? Where is the respect we had? How could one guy destroy everything we have accumulated over decades? I feel sorry and feel pity for the guy who after the incident says he doesn't care about the incident or the incident does not tell anything!

I really wish he had not run for the second term! Because I can't watch another human being humilaited like this! I at this point sympathize for this guy in my heart and be left in peace.

I feel sorry for Mr.President

However much I hate him, I don't think it is appropriate to deny him a photo-op.

Need Anti-Virus or not

Story: http://gizmodo.com/5100996/false-alarm-apple-mac-os-x-anti+virus-recommendation-is-old

If Apple claims that the story is old, was it needed before then? What changed?

I think Apple is going to be in denial for a long time and would only acknowledge in the eleventh hour and do something about it. Sounds familier? Microsoft is there if you need an example.

What the f#$@ is wrong with Apple?

I would expect any respectable company to be reasonable with their claims. Just because it is an Ad does not mean you can say what you want. I wish the rules are as strict as in U.K where Apple for the second time had to pull out iPhone 3G ads.
