Newton MP2x00 Display Upgrade Replace the touchscreen and backlight of your Newton for $146. Assembly is required, but apparently there are people in the US, Spain, and Germany who can do it for you. This could be useful for people who have scratched up screens or worn-out backlights on Newtons which are otherwise in good shape. comment () trackback ()  3:09:01 PM     According to this post on the NewtonTalk mailing list, references to the Newton have been removed from Apple's page on Inkwell. comment () trackback ()  1:35:39 PM     From InstaPundit.com comes this excellent point: What would things be like for Palestinians now, if Israelis or Americans thought like Arabs? They wouldn't be like anything at all, of course. There wouldn't be any Palestinians. comment () trackback ()  1:25:20 PM     AT&T Broadband Introduces Tiered Pricing [Slashdot] The new tier is 3mbps downstream and 384kbps upstream for $82.95. That's a bit under twice what I pay now, for twice the downstream speed and 50% faster upstream. I'd probably pay for this if AT&T was offering it in Los Angeles. comment () trackback ()  1:15:17 PM     U.N. Rejects Palestinian Claim [AP World News] Apparently there's some PLO propaganda that even the UN won't swallow. It will be interesting to see if the international media gives this report anywhere near as much coverage as the initial claims of a massacre. Somehow I doubt it. comment () trackback ()  1:08:31 PM     Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Athens (1-2 August 1946), when WWII veterans overthrew a corrupt county government in Tennessee. comment () trackback ()  8:31:06 AM
