I shake it angrily, before giving it a bash. This is not good news. Unfortunately, when I ordered the thing, I plumped for the cheapest one on the Internet, figuring that I wouldn’t really use it much. This was a bit like Dylan Thomas wandering into his local pub and ordering ‘just a half’. I am lost without it. I mourn by whimpering slightly and rocking from side to side, wondering what I am going ...

I want a gun.To shoot shoot shoot.These thoughts away.Buzzing like mosquitoes over me.I want a pen.To write write write.My cares away.And run.Like a cruise ship on the sea. I want a song.To sing sing sing.Loud.Offkey.Till the song won’t play no more.I want a dog.To play play play.Till we both lie panting,happy by the sea shore. I want a cloud.That soars above.Like a puff of cotton.White.I want a star.That talks to me.And bathes me in it’s ...

Last week, I got my first hands-on time with a selection of iPhone titles from ever-reliable French publisher, Gameloft. I was struck by the successful implementations of the device's accelerometer and touchscreen controls, especially in Real Football (I never thought I'd get used to thumbing players in order to direct them) and Asphalt GT, where you tilt the screen to steer your car

By now, we know Kay Hagan — a Christian — overcame anti-atheist bigotry from her North Carolina Senate opponent Elizabeth Dole. Rob Christensen of The Charlotte Observer has a behind-the-scenes look at how that ad came to be. In a nutshell, the Dole campaign never intended to create the ad because they never thought Hagan would attend a fundraiser hosted by two prominent atheists. … Certainly not after the Dole campaign had sent out a ...

با توجه به این سابقه، معرفی دوباره آقای محصولی به مجلس و این بار به عنوان وزیر کشور، نشانه خشم آقای احمدی نژاد از رای عدم اعتماد مجلس به علی کردان وزیر کشور سابق تلقی میشود. اگر مجلس بخواهد به آقای محصولی رای منفی دهد، نه فقط علامت بی اعتنایی به تذکر رهبری نظام قلمداد خواهد شد، بلکه به کارشکنی در کار دولت هم متهم میشود. ظاهرا آقای احمدی نژاد با درک همین نکته، یکی ...
