[•] The US economy is on the upswing (not that I can tell). [•] The US government is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture of Daniel Pearl’s murderers. [•] UK forces were fired upon by a lone individual. [•] Hindus have begun torching Muslim areas in India because of Muslims attacking a train full of Hindus yesterday. [•] Cubans seeking asylum rammed their way into the Mexican embassy (literally). [•] A bomb explosion in Jordan killed 2 people.

[•] The iPod is the perfect tool to steal applications from a store display Macs. [•] Dell refused to ship a computer bought online to Weigand Combat Handguns because the business sounded like a terrorist’s. I never knew terrorists purposely named their businesses’ after violent things. I guess than The Friendly Kitty Factory could never a terrorist front for anything LOL.
