18-05-2006 22:26

First known graph of Moore's Law Ending
Dell, Intel, and Microsoft stocks are in freefall. (Dell is getting a dead-cat bounce today on AMD news.) Like the last Tech Wreck (in 2000), this one has to do with Moore's Law. Moore's Law is a self-fulfilling prophecy financed by Intel, his company, as long as they can afford it.

boycott Eurovision song contest from GREECE

18-05-2006 17:19

I am a victim of torture in Greece: I have not seen proper justice done in 5 years! Meanwhile many others have been tortured. This happens in Europe and we must make the world aware of the level of human rights abuse that happens in the EU and that goes unchallenged. A number of British people have also suffered in Greece, but perhaps readers forget about the Planespotters, David Wilson, and the Robinsons- all held in detention without good reason. It is time to protest! Please support this appeal!
