I never realised there were objects bigger than the sun in space. I've always assumed the sun is roughly the same size of any other star, but these pictures seem to disprove that

For a sneak peek at the future of computing, go to YouOS and click "Try a Demo." Your browser window turns into a desktop of its own, with sub-windows for e-mail, chat, and Web browsing. There are also links on the YouOS desktop for a sticky-notes program and a rich-text editor. But these programs aren't on your hard drive, they're running somewhere in the vast unknown Internet.
YouOS is the fledgling startup of four recent college grads with a bit of angel funding. Its simplicity makes it a great demo. Anyone who logs on can instantly spot the big idea: You don't need Windows! You don't even need a PC! You can login and work from anywhere using any gadget with a screen and a keyboard.
Just because the demo and the name are cool doesn't mean YouOS will replace Windows. It does, however, serve as a proof-of-concept for people who doubt the viability of Web-based operating systems. Check out YouOS for 10 minutes, then imagine the same project on a billion-dollar budget. Now do you think the mythical Google PC that's allegedly being secretly developed in Silicon Valley, or in China or on a Ukrainian IRC channel will become reality?
I can really see this as being the future, there'd be no need for any client side OS, apart from the browser you need to view the webpage. 
Andrew Hawkins – the descendent of one of the first British slave traders, Sir John Hawkins – kneeled in chains in front of 25,000 Africans in Gambia and asked for forgivness.
Next year marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the UK. Mr Hawkins and organisers of his trip to Africa say not enough has been done to apologise for the wrong of slavery.
So should we say sorry for enslaving africans? They seem to have pretty much paid us back for what we did by increasing the amount of crime in the US and creating rap.
Apologize? Back to work!
Let the Good Lord heal your wicked wounds with these Jesus bandages from Archie McPhee. One box contains 15 bandages that were blessed by the Pope during a special "Bless This Mess" ceremony at the Vatican. Also in the box is a free toy!
They also do nodding Jesus dashboard figures, so they must be serious.
