Had she alive, Princess Diana'd be celebrating her 50th birthday this coming Friday. Newsweek's featured her computer-generated image on its cover story "Diana at 50."
In the article, Daily Beast founder Tina Brown fantasizes how Princess Diana would feel about Kate Middleton, love, sons, charities and so on. They even made her fake tweet to Dalai Lama. Hmnnn. I'm pretty sure they'd do this every ten years...
Six days before a college football player was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in a dispute that began because he tried to board a US Airways jet with sagging pants, a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline, a US Airways spokeswoman conceded Tuesday. - US Airways let man wearing women's panties fly - San Francisco Chronicle
Scott Jones and Alex Thomas sharing a kiss during last week’s rioting in Vancouver, B.C.
I was just trying to calm her down. It was pretty scary for her, and it seemed like the best thing to do. （警官に打たれて倒れた）彼女をただ落ち着かせようとしてただけ。とても怖がってたので、それが一番かと思って。- Scott Jones
It's not embarrassing at all. It's actually quite beautiful. 恥ずかしくなんかないです。とてもきれいだと思います。- Alexandria Thomas

Bios Urn by Spanish designer Martin Azua is a cremation urn made from biodegradable coconut shell, compacted peat, and cellulose that turns you into a tree after you die. What kind of tree you want to be?
We'd have to leave our dog, Soleil, while we visit Japan this summer. Why? Because there is not much pet-friendly public transportation over there. When I said that, my family told me about this guy trying to take his pony on a train in Wales. Wow!
The pony lover is Defiant Joe Purcell, 68.
I’ll do it till I die. I love the horse. People have guide dogs. Why can’t they have guide ponies? But I was drunk at the time. I was on the top shelf. ― Mirror
Maybe I'd take Soleil to Japan before she dies. It's a beautiful land.
The concern about the attack was so significant that the World Bank, an international agency focused on economic development, whose headquarters is across the street from the I.M.F. in downtown Washington, cut the computer link that allows the two institutions to share information.
攻撃の影響は深刻で、経済開発の国際機関である世界銀行（本部はワシントン都心のIMFの向かい側）がIMFとの情報共有に使うコンピュータのリンクを切断したほどだった。― Sophisticated Cyberattack Is Reported by the I.M.F. - NYTimes
Alas, the answer is “no.” There are several reasons for this but the largest by far is that the U.S. government does not want us to have really secure networks. The government is more interested in snooping in on the rest of the world’s insecure networks. The U.S. consumer can take the occasional security hit, our spy chiefs rationalize, if it means our government can snoop global traffic.
This is National Security, remember, which means ethical and common sense rules are suspended without question. - When Engineers Lie - I, Cringely
The third largest bank in US, Citibank, revealed last night that its network , Citi Account Online came under attack by hackers and the contact information (mail, name, account number) of 200,000 credit card holders in North America was compromised.
FT reported Citi noticed it early May. Another spokesperson in Hong Kong tells Reuters "it had affected 1 percent of North American card customers (21 million)" . Other information including date of birth, SSN, expiration date, CVV are not compromised. Beware, Citi customers... (me!)
"Apple has grown like a weed, and as you know, we've always been in Cupertino... Those campus can hold maybe 2600 or 2800 people, but we've got almost 12,000 people in the area. So we're renting buildings, not that good buildings. It's clear we need to build a new campus. We bought some land in Cupertino. This land is kind of special to me. When I was 13, I think, I called up Hewlett and Packard, my idols. I called Bill Hewitt, because he lived in Palo Alto..." - Steve Jobs bought far bigger land in Cupertino and presented Cupertino City Council Apple's new campus plan yesterday. It's going to be a Spaceship-like HQ.
UPDATE: Apple 'spaceship' site is Steve Wozniak's former HP stomping grounds - latimes.com: "'This land is also where our small calculator division of HP, APD, was,' Wozniak wrote in a comment on the Technology blog. 'It's where almost all the design, prototyping and testing was done (at night) to create the Apple I and Apple II computers.'"
新用地は、アップル創業当時まだHPで働いていたスティーブ・ウォズニアックの勤務地だった場所で、「アップルIとアップルIIのデザイン・試作機製作・テストはほぼ全部ここで（夜）やった」とウォズが書いてる…なるほどそういうことか。
I guess the greatest husband on earth is a man in the book 'Listening Is an Act of Love' who tells that he kept writing love letter to his wife every single morning for entire life. But this dad in Utah is something. Local TV says he lost his leg nearly 20 years ago in motorcycle accident, but look at his spirit!
After waving for the last day of the 2010-2011 school year on June 2, he clarified he spent less than 50 bucks on all 170 costumes; "Most of these costumes were borrowed from neighbors and friends (you’d be surprised what your neighbors have in their closets!), or found in our costume boxes from years past."
[...]the key line was when Steve Jobs, describing iCloud replacing iTunes as your digital hub, said, “We’re going to demote the PC and the Mac to just be a device.”
[...]Google’s frame is the browser window. Apple’s frame is the screen. That’s what we’ll remember about today’s keynote ten years from now. -Daring Fireball: Demoted
"Apple and Steve Jobs originally envisioned that developers would create what it called 'Web apps' for the iPhone. These would be little programs that ran inside the Safari browser. While Apple knew developers would want to write applications for the iPhone, the company didn't see huge numbers of apps as critical to the phone's initial success."
Unlike Former Rep. Christopher Lee (R-NY), Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) won't resign. That's fine with me. Chris Lee didn't have to resign for that thingy, either.
The mistake began when the birthday girl, identified as Thessa, published an invitation meant to invite only a few friends over to her house. Instead, 15,000 people checked that they would be there – and her parents promptly cancelled the party. Despite the party-pooper parents, more than 1,500 guests and 100 police officers showed up at the party. - NY Daily
She said she heard it off the trailer for African Cats II. Thanks to straight forward lyrics, it's also been featured in other films including Street Dance 3D. I noted that a lot of folks claim it to be their funeral song.
[...] Hijazi says a group of hackers told him they wouldn't publicly divulge information they had gotten from snooping on his accounts if he revealed sensitive security information acquired by the botnet-tracking firm, Unveillance, that he launched last year. The hackers, who call themselves LulzSec, wanted to know the whereabouts of compromised computers on the Internet that when remotely controlled are used en masse to attack Web sites, he told CNET in an exclusive phone interview late last night.- Cnet
