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.

I feel bad for NY right now because they have been going through a lot this year. There govenor got caught in a prostitution scandal and now this crane will need to be cleaned up. They are going throug a lot.
