Things might look rosy in US - Iran relations, but it is not for real. Unfortunately, the doomsday machinery that drives US policies in the Middle-East was set in motion years ago and the President will not be able to stop its progress. He must get on board and launch a nuclear attack on Iran.

It must be a strange feeling, sitting in the White House holding the Nobel Peace Prize with hands that are stained with the blood of Afghan civilians, knowing these hands also will have to give the secret go-ahead for the Israeli nuclear attack on Iran.

Or is there another option?

Tablets are making a comeback, and this time they carry far more information than the originals that featured only a few commandments.

Will text input be any easier on these new devices?

Yes! In fact, it will be so easy you can put down your hammer and chisel and perhaps even throw away your keyboard.

It is the small things that make a difference, especially when these small things make a difference in the daily life of millions of people.

Here is an American man that puts together tin cans in clever ways and by doing that, he is improving life for people all over the world and at the same time he is saving the climate.

Have a look at his instructional videos and you will get a warm fuzzy feeling.

It is a strange world we live in.

Did you know that there is a theory for the cause of heart disease that explains many of the things the traditional cholesterol theory of heart disease fails to explain?

This theory proposes a treatment that involves completely safe nutrients that reliably reverses atherosclerosis in animals and humans. There is a lot of studies that support the theory, it makes more sense on many levels, but there has been no serious attempts by mainstream medicine to evaluate if the treatment works or not.

It has in fact been completely ignored.

The FDA has now shown exactly where their priorities lie.

When forced to reevaluate their view that the endocrine disruptor Bisphenol A is safe, they are taking a completely untenable position, ignoring the best available science in order to protect the industry, jeopardizing the health of infants.

The good news is that this is so preposterous that it may signal the start of the much needed dismantling of industry influence at the FDA.

What is really happening in Iran? The official version is that the Iranians are revolting against election fraud. There is talk about the importance of social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter and how these networks can serve as tools for truth and democracy.

Unfortunately, they can also serve as tools for disinformation.

There is a multitude of signs indicating foreign intelligence agency involvement in the Iranian post-election protests.

We know George W. Bush gave the approval to launch covert "black" operations to achieve regime change in Iran. The National Endowment for Democracy, the heir-taker of the CIA in these matters, are known for creating "color" revolutions with the aid of modern communication technology.

Is that what is going on?

Apple introduced the mouse to the computing world in 1983, and now it is time to introduce a new kind of mouse. With a magnetometer compass built in, the iPhone will become a pointing device for the real world.

Knowing the orientation and position of an iPhone is the secret sauce for augmented reality, geobrowsing and location-based ads.

But that's not all. Did I mention that it will change the world?

If you ever wanted to know how the financial industry and bankers managed to bring the world economy to its knees, this video is for you.

It has less to do with economic theories and more to do with personal integrity and how it has been undermined by other priorities. Our culture is changing from the top down, slowly and insidiously.

Values other than the monetary varieties are becoming unfashionable.

Don't be such a cry-baby! If it pays off being a psychopath, it must be a good thing.

It looks like he will. And if he does we should be very worried, because then we are at the mercy of corporate greed of the worst kind.

In that case, other discrepancies between pre-election rhetoric and post-election policy will suddenly make more sense.

What is "to do a Monsanto?" It is when you promote something as safe to eat for the general public and ban it in your own restaurant because you know it is not safe. Will the Obamas enjoy their organic, GM-free garden, but the let the rest of us eat industrial Frankenfoods?

Statins... Why do we even bother with them?

They are wonder drugs! Didn't you read he Jupiter trial?

Yes, I did. That's why I ask. I read it. Supposedly a land mark study. I'd say the land mark is a precipice and I want to erect a warning sign.

We know all statins are problematic in the long run because they shut down very important processes in the body, but very few studies run long enough to document any problems. This particular study appears to have been prematurely ended just before the side effects started to overtake the benefit of the drug.
