Experts to testify of 'growing' nuke threat to U.S
Experts to testify of 'growing' nuke threat to U.S. The Senate believes that America must act now or we will fail in the Nuclear battle. Iran claims to have Nuclear Weapons. I believe that if the U.S doens't act now than we will lose.

Cheney brokers U.S.-Iraq deal to outlast Bush
Vice President Cheney has just made a deal that will outlast Bush's terms in the whitehouse with Iraq. Topics ranged from security in Iraq to Iran's rising influence in Mideast, but a key item was about crafting a long-term agreement between the U.S. and Iraq, plus a narrower deal to define the legal basis for continued U.S. troop presence. This is very interesting because it will be fun to see how the new president in 2008 will handle it.

Apple Sued Yet Again For Patent Infringement Over iTunes/iPod
Apple has been sued over and over again by companies claiming to hold patents on some of the most basic concepts found in Apple's iTunes and iPod offerings. Some organizations want to get money from Apple so they sue and pretend that they own some of the rights. This has been done so many different time that it is starting to get ridculous!. I believe that Apple owns all of the rights that it claims and other organizations should stop blaiming them for their financial issues!
Should Wikipedia Take The Money?
Wikipedia is a very popular informational source in America that is in a big debate. Wikipedia for a while, has been asking there customers for money and many people think that instead of asking for money they should sell adds on their webpage. I agree with those people. I believe that everybody has the right to know all of the information on Wikipedia without having to pay money. Also if Wikipedia did sell adds on their webpages they would get a lot more money than charging citizens.
2 still missing in NYC crane accident
Rescuers continued searching Monday for a missing worker and women. Last saturday a crane in New York City pulled from its moorings and crashed into six buildings. On Moday the mayor said " There is no sign of life so far" which is something that New Yorkers didn't want to hear.

Woman Sues Best Buy For $54 Million Over Lost Laptop
Best Buy is being Sued!!!!This article cought my attention right away. A woman bought a new laptop from bestbuy and was going to pick it up one day. When she got to the counter she realized that the store had lost her laptop. She sued BestBuy for $54 Million!!!! Eveybody knew that $54 Mil. is way to much money. So the store decided to give the customer a 900$ gift card and a refund on the laptop. That is a pretty decent offer.I was so suprised when I read this article. Granted, if a store lost my laptop, I would obviously be very upset. But I still wouldn't sue the store for $54 Million dollars!!!

Google Sued Over User-Generated Google Earth Content In Israel
Google has a very well known program called "Google Earth". This program is desighned for public use. It lets you see anywhere in the whole world!.... But sometimes to much freedom is wrong. For example... Israel is obviously a place on Earth that can be viewed through Google Earth. But because Israel is such a religious country they wanted their country to be removed from google earth. Google reefused and because they refused, the are now being sued by Israel.

Bush signs stimulus package
Bush just sighned a $168 million stimulus package.... This means that there will soon be rebate checks ranging from $300 to $1,200 to 130 million Americans. This is really good for both the economy and Bush's reputation. Most poeple do not like President Bush but because he is showing that he gives back to the American people, they will atart to like him more as he approaches his last few months in office.
