Anyone know what town this is in?

Hate to say it, but given where we are in the world at the moment, that all sounds pretty standard fare and was completely unsurprising. England has always been tighter on security than the US, they've had a lot more domestic terrorism than here for decades now, and even in the US, the things you outlined above…

Thanks for reminding me of the Sony Clié. Were it not for your mention, it would have remained a distant memory...

Sony must be the company most impacted by Apples move into the consumer electronics environment. It is staggering how far the company which brought us, with credit also to Philips, three wildly popular media delivery methods - the cassette tape, the VHS tape and the compact disc - has fallen, and how completely…

Sam, can I assume you meant two weeks, not two days?

Greenpeace used mylar balloons. Mylar balloons kill whales*. Therefor, Greenpeace kills whales.

"USB 1.1 was released fourteen years ago..."

Poor girl. Would (it seems) have happened irregardless of how much attention she was paying to where she was walking. That's just bad luck and faulty sidewalk design.

Mine says...wait, no, I just deleted my signature file on my iPhone. Cause it was stupid.

Wine & Ice Cream ([gizmodo.com]). Two of my more favorite things. Both having a shortage at the same time. Horrors!!!

For some reason, there seems to be a bit of a enlightened view of treehouses here in the NW. Check out:

Coal power plants may be working to reinvent themselves for the greener future, with amazing scrubbers being installed in a lot of existing plants, but like it or not, coal still powers a vast amount of the right hand side of the US. So...would you prefer Made in America or Made Green?

Interesting that Apple choose NC for it's data center. Google, in light of looking for better energy options, chose to place one of their newer data centers in Oregon, on the Columbia River, allowing them to use hydroelectric for power and also use the water for cooling. While I appreciate dams aren't great things…

A vulnerability....in Microsoft Office?!?!?! What is the world coming to????????!!!!!!!

In the lead image, I can see three separate glaciers. I think you need to spend some time in the mountains.
