Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe and his military henchmen will do anything to maintain power in their country, even preside over the unnecessary deaths by starvation and disease of hundreds of thousands of their countrymen.After losing a presidential election but declaring victory, Mugabe et al entered into a power-sharing standoff with actual winner Morgan Tsvangirai.Since then, a major new Zimbabwean humanitarian crisis has been brewing. The BBC reports that "nearly half the population" will need food ...

They sure don't make them like Jimmy Carter anymore. He's 84 and still traveling the world for humanitarian missions. Can you imagine someone like Bush lifting a finger to help anyone below a CEO or oil dictator after he leaves the White House? I give credit to Kofi Annan as well who never seemed to give a damn about Zimbabwe when he was at the UN, perhaps constrained by the African infighting at the UN ...

É o novo cálculo da inflação do Zimbabwe. Nesse ritmo, os preços dobram a cada 5 dias, mais ou menos. Na verdade, essas últimas semanas a coisa vinha piorando, mas estabilizou ali pelos preços dobrarem todo dia, mais ou menos. E vocês reclamando de uma quedazinha da bolsa, um banquinho quebrado, uma crisezinha de 29, nhenhenhe. PS: para quem está curioso, escreve-se 1.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.

Could Detroit be the first region in the U.S. to sign on with Shai Agassi’s electric vehicle infrastructure startup Better Place? Michigan’s governor Jennifer Granholm is certainly giving appearances that she’s looking into the idea of how the electric charging and battery swap stations would work in Michigan. Electrifying Detroit, if not Michigan as a whole, could be an interesting option, considering the tumultuous times and the questions over the auto bailout. This weekend Granholm ...

The launch of a leaderboard for the once-feared Twitterank was inevitable. After all, in the online world, if you can measure something and give it a score, then by all means the next step is to rank people from high to low, and provide a leaderboard. It's happened with blog "influence" (Technorati). It's happened with mentions on Techmeme. It's even happened with how frequently people's items are shared on Google Reader (Feedheads, RSSmeme and ReadBurner). ...

In the tightly packed houses of San Francisco, light can be scarce. Still, I occasionally delude myself into thinking I have a green thumb. I don't. Legions of plant carcasses later, I had all but given up hope. Enter PlantBot. Designed by The Play Coalition this wicker and wood concoction seeks out the sun so you don't have to. The lazy man's gardener - I love it.

African leaders once again pass the buck on Zimbabwe, caving to Mugabe’s thugs and further legitimizing the disgraceful outcome of the election there. Half of the population of Zimbabwe has fled the country, and the remaining population largely depends on food aid in a country that was a powerhouse agricultural exporter prior to Mugabe’s disastrous reign. African leaders are disgraceful when it comes to the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Zimbabwe, but so to are western ...

Jaleel White--who should definitely not be indelibly tied to his role as a famously nerdy sitcom character, because he's an artist outside of that--has written a screenplay, and it's being made into a movie! So long, Starbucks: [Joel] Zwick is attached to direct the romantic comedy "Did You Get My Text," written by White, best known for playing Steve Urkel on the 1990s sitcom "Family Matters." In "Text," a young man starts a relationship with ...
