- Syrian Slander
March 9, 2010Immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Israel flew an incredible amount of doctors and equipment there (more so than any other country, proportionately speaking)—some of the best and most advanced technology—and made an incredible difference in the aftermath. While most critics of Israel at least acknowledged the humanitarianism and generosity of the country, there are [...]

February 24, 2010Naked Emperor News has compiled what has to be one of the most hearty meals of crow that the Dems are going to have to eat right now, as they all continue to babble on about using the “nuclear option” to ram their corpulent health care obscenity through Congress. This beautiful compilation includes an all-star cast [...]
- Muslim Students at UC Irvine Twist “Free Speech”
February 21, 2010About two weeks ago, Michael Oren, the Israeli ambassador to the United States came to the University of California at Irvine to speak, by invitation of the university’s faculty.

Israel and Market Capitalism
Yes, I know, the title of this post sounds a bit dry, but trust me, the article written by George Gilder, entitled “Silicon Israel”, is an incredible story of how far Israel has come in such an incredibly short time, and how it is still growing by leaps and bounds. Read it here. »
Microsoft Courier Unveiled!
An absolutely incredibly breathtaking new device by Microsoft, called the Courier, has now been unveiled by Gizmodo, and I have to say this is really an new frontier for computing. This is everything the Tablet PC wasn’t, and I am blown away by the video. Check it out on the Gizmodo site! »
Israeli Teen Invents Device To Cut Pollution and Increase Mileage
With an invention earning great praise from engineers and scientists, an Israeli teen, Zion Badash, has invented a device called Z5 that reduces emissions by as much as 40% and increases gas mileage likewise.

Take Back The Beep
Doesn’t it make you crazy when you call someone’s cell phone and get their voicemail, listen to their greeting in anticipation of the beep, only to have to listen to some inane instructions after their greeting, like, “once you are finished leaving a message you may hang up”? I, for one, absolutely hate this. And the... »
New Electric Car: The Leaf
Once again, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud hysterically at Glenn Beck’s commentary last night. Here he is talking about the Nissan “Leaf”, a new electric car in the works. »
New Keyboard Technology
Devices like keyboards and mice rarely undergo noticeable technological advances, but when they do it’s usually something major (think scroll wheel for the mouse; I can’t ever go back to a mouse without one!). Microsoft is now announcing a major innovation for the oft-ignored and rarely-advanced keyboard: pressure sensitivity! Granted, the demonstrations in the video... »
BlackBerry Rant
Why is it that my two-year-old Windows XP machine starts up in half the time it takes for my brand new BlackBerry Tour from Verizon Wireless?! I’m not even exaggerating: I just timed it and it took a full 5 minutes and 38 seconds for my BlackBerry Tour to start! Isn’t technology supposed to be... »
