BBC News - BP boss Hayward says he was 'demonised' over oil spill

Seriously?!?!?! You are an arrogant, self-serving ass! 6mm pound pension???? What about the 1,000's of people who, perhaps for generations, have lost their sole source of income because of the shortcuts taken by the company that you ran???

BBC News - India unveils prototype for $35 touch-screen computer

OK, so I have been playing with my iPad for 3 days now. Imagine my dismay at the following story:

BBC News - India unveils prototype for $35 touch-screen computer

The flip side is that it is not an IOS device, which, let's be honest, is one of the most intuitive interfaces ever designed. *BUT* it is a Linux device which means open source, and lots of flexibility. I'm not taking sides, here, because I walk both side of the fence, but this is an interesting development no matter how you look at it.

Vibram Five Fingers: The most comfortable footwear ever

Just got back from traveling in Europe for 16 days. Usually, I have to take some type of pain killers for the excruciating pain in my knees and hops from all the walking. Not this time!!

A friend of mine introduced me to these shoes (if you can call them that) that are basically just foot covers, and have individual toes so your foot works like it was supposed to. I hiked and walked everywhere in these things...paved roads, cobblestone streets, stone and dirt paths, you name it...everything except swim in them (which I could have, but didn't need to), and never felt better.

I can't say enough about these shoes...they are amazing.
