Save Freedom of Thought I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and to the Republic that it established: one Nation out of many Peoples, with Liberty and Justice for all. Why not pledge to something that has real meaning, something that is more than just a symbol. Why not pledge allegiance to the document that is the cornerstone of our democracy. Why not?...mj 10:17:31 AM

Oscar-winning actor James Coburn dead at 74 Actor James Coburn, the Academy Award-winning actor whose roles included tough-guy villains, the roguish secret agent Flint and the resourceful "president's analyst," died Monday. He was 74. Coburn died of a heart attack as he and his wife were listening to music at their Beverly Hills home, according to Coburn's manager, Hillard Elkins. He was pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "He was in his wife's arms," Elkins said. "He died fast and happy."...more [] Coburn has always been one of my favorites. As a kid I loved watching him in the Flint movies. He was a tough guy with a smile and a sense of humor, even when he wasn't smiling. The President's Analyst [1967] stands out as a harbinger of the the conspiracy theories, paranoia, and distrust of government that is so rampant in our society today...mj 9:22:32 AM

Will the Hammer fall? Rumors are loose that the AMD presentation this morning at Comdex will be earth "shattering". At 9am Pacific, AMD's Hector Ruiz is to announce a new licensee. The rumor is that it will be Apple! If so it would mean that Apple is moving beyond PPC in an attempt to deal with the performance issue. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be a huge move if it comes to pass. And no, it does not mean OS X on PeeCees, it means OS X on 64bit Hammer based motherboards. This announcement could also be for a joint wireless technology, Hypertransport, AMD fabing PPC chips, or any of a number of things. After all, 'earth shattering' in marketing-speak could mean nearly anything...mj 8:09:39 AM
