View Article  RAW effort
from http://www.rushkoff.com/2006/10/raw-efforts-succeeded.php


Thanks to your spontaneous generosity, we raised over $80.000 on behalf of Robert Anton Wilson in less than a week. This means he can be taken care of by family at home or, if need be, in a managed care facility for over six months.

If at the end of six or eight months all of this money has been spent on care - and Bob has chosen to carry on living - we'll see about what other financial solutions might be possible, including another plea to his reading public.

But for the time being, save your pennies and pence, give yourselves and each other a hearty "job well done," and get back to the good work of helping people think smarter and act kinder.

Another web leak of Microsoft's next version of Windows Mobile - codenamed 'Crossbow' - pictures have popped up on the web to show the upcoming operating system's vista style graphics.

Crossbow is due to ship to OEMs in Q4 to allow them plenty of time to get devices ready for the OS' introduction in late Q1/early Q2 2007. Crossbow is expected to give gadgets more a better telephony experience and to improve its messaging technology.

Then in Q4 2007, and Microsoft will release 'Photon', the follow up to Crossbow, to developers.

View Article  Chimps are human too
Most people know how much I feel that our chimp/ape/monkey cousins are closer to human than some people classed as human well someone Danny Wallace with the help of the Horizon team has made a programme about the subject here's the blurb off the bbc website

Tuesday 10 October 2006, 9pm on BBC Two

Danny Wallace  is on a mission to convince the world that chimps are people too. He believes the time has come to make our hairy relatives part of the family. Our primate brethren share 99.4% of our crucial DNA and are more closely related to us than they are to gorillas. This being so, should they be afforded the same rights as people?

The reason for this scientific showdown is simple. If chimps can communicate, cook and reason, then how different are they to humans? Armed with the latest scientific evidence, Danny travels the globe to quiz primatologists, philosophers and animal rights lawyers to investigate whether or not chimps should be classed as people
