Kaboom.

I am more than capable of making decisions about my body and my health.

Rep. Van Zant - you are unfit to serve the people of Florida!

We just set it up for our recording studio and it’s working flawlessly.

A bit of a pain to have Opera running all the time, but we’re helped by the fact that our publishing masters are on their own Mac Mini, so Opera in the background there isn’t a huge hassle.

Agreed, it’s pretty damn slick.

Hmm…interesting. I don’t relish the idea of installing yet another browser, but I certainly like the idea of managing my downloads in, perhaps, a slicker format than Dropbox.

what’s nice is that you’re not tied to the 2GB storage limit that comes with Dropbox (the free version at least).

White House officials are retooling the administration’s communications strategy to produce faster responses to political adversaries, a more disciplined focus on President Obama’s call for “change” in Washington and an increasingly selective use of the president’s time.

The messaging adjustments are the result of an end-of-the-year analysis in which White House advisers said the president’s communications team had not taken the initiative often enough and had allowed drawn-out debates in Congress, and relentless criticism by Republicans, to drown out his message.

The Taliban’s top military commander was captured several days ago in Karachi, Pakistan, in a secret joint operation by Pakistani and American intelligence forces, according to American government officials.

The commander, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, is an Afghan described by American officials as the most significant Taliban figure to be detained since the American-led war in Afghanistan started more than eight years ago. He ranks second in influence only to Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban’s founder, and was a close associate of Osama bin Laden before the Sept. 11 attacks.
