My guess is McCain. If that's right, then succeeding in Iraq, as quickly as possible, may not only be the surest route to the White House for the Democrats. It may also be the quickest. ...

He came from humble beginnings, his father was a day laborer and mother, who couldn't read or write English, worked at a textile mill. I bring this up because of his many accomplishments, he is also part owner of the Boston Red Sox. This is by no means a conflict of interest here. I don't think a man who's accomplished this much in his life would tarnish his reputation with a biased report. It will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of the end of the steroid era.

Camera with built-in GPS to be unveiled at PMA?
Well, that's what the folks over at the Geotate booth were talking about during the PMA Sneak Peek event held today at the Las Vegas Convention Center. According to them, the camera will be developed by a Taiwanese vendor and introduced under a branded camera name during PMA.

This is achieved by separating the GPS data capture and processing. Once the shutter is pressed, the GPS data is stored in the memory and will only be processed when it is transferred to the PC and connected to Geotate's server.
