Fake priest caught in confessional

Confessionalblog385x185_2 Bess writes: A bizarre case of identity fraud has surfaced in the Vatican: the Osservatore Romano, the official Vatican newspaper, reports that a fake priest was caught in St Peter’s Basilica attempting to enter the confessional box. The 30-year-old man was subsequently sentenced in a special Vatican court. And, according to this morning's papers, the sentencing judge discovered he was a serial offender. Gianluigi Marrone, one a handful of judges employed at the court, explained: "He had priest's robes on but to the expert eye of our security staff he raised suspicions, He was acting strangely and so he was stopped and checked. He had an identity card which said he was a priest but a quick check established it was bogus.

Blogging about Apple pays better than practicing medicine

Arnold Kimn, MD, is quitting his medical practice to blog full-time about Apple because he found it was more profitable than practicing medicine. In 2000 while he was a fourth-year medical student, Kim launched the site MacRumors, a site devoted to news and rumors about Apple. Traffic grew over the years, and around 2003-2004, during the time he was starting his nephrology fellowship, ad revenue from the site started growing. Eventually, Kim says he was making more from MacRumors than he was from practicing nephrology and decided to quit medicine.

Gore's Bold Plan to Save the Planet

When I caught up with Al Gore at his home in Nashville last December, the former Vice President turned green guru was in a pensive mood. I was surprised — he was just finishing his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, which he was due to give in Stockholm a few days later. For a man who had lost the Presidency in the most agonizing way possible, winning the Nobel should have offered some consolation. But when I asked Gore if he felt vindicated, he shook his head. "It's hard to celebrate recognition of an effort that has thus far failed," he said. He was referring to his work not only to awaken the world to the danger of climate change, but to get us to really do something about it. "I'm not finished, but thus far, I have failed. We have all failed.

Cricket eyes Twenty20 for 2020 Olympics

BEIJING (Agencies): As players from around the world backed former Australia wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist's call for Twenty20 cricket to become an Olympic sport, officials said it would take another 12 years at least for it to get on the Games roster. But a spokesman for the International Cricket Council, the global governing body, said that if cricket decided it was intent on pursuing Olympic ambitions, then Cricket was part of the Olympics just once, in 1900, but last year it was again recognised as an Olympic sport -- the first step towards full admission. Gilchrist, in his column for Indian daily the Deccan Chronicle, said Monday: "It doesn't matter where the 2020 Olympic Games are held but many of us who've experienced international Twenty20 cricket and the IPL (Indian Premier League) are convinced that cricket should bid to become a

UK Guy Who Hacked Into US Military Computers Overplays His Hand; Loses Extradition Appeal

From the very beginning it had seemed like the US was overhyping the fact that they had tracked down UK-based Gary McKinnon, as the guy who had hacked into various military computer systems. They claimed he had caused millions of dollars of damages, and even called him "the world's biggest hacker." Of course, the details suggest he was more like a big idiot. He got high, decided that the US was hiding secrets on aliens, and hacked into a military computer system to try to find the details -- and then (according to his own explanation) hit the wrong button and thought "oh, bloody hell." So, he clearly did something wrong: he broke into US military computer systems. He clearly deserves to be punished for it, but he's definitely overplayed his hand as well in response.

Apollo Astronaut Mitchell Says Aliens Have Visited Earth

This story has been spreading like wildfire across the internet, as well as other news sources, which is not surprising given the topic. In a radio interview in the UK, and in a subsequent article in the Daily Register, former Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell said he believes there is life on other planets. OK, that's not much of a bombshell. But then he went on to say that aliens have visited Earth, and our governments have been covering it up. That was the shocker. Mitchell said he was “privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the U.F.O. phenomena is real.� While he didn't offer any real facts or say that he has actually seen aliens, he said big organizations will soon be offering full disclosure.

One-day wonders

This was Gilmour's game. He led Australia home with the bat in a low-scoring encounter, and in the first part of the match he caused most of England's problems as Headingley lived up to its reputation. Gilmour's swing was too much for England's top order: he removed the first six wickets to leave the home side on 34 for 6. "Bowling a full length, over the wicket, he not only swung the ball in the heavy atmosphere, but he moved it both ways after pitching," said Wisden. "Bringing the ball back after pitching on the off stump, he had Amiss, Fletcher, Hayes and Knott lbw - Fletcher without playing a shot - and all played back." After such a performance you would have expected Gilmour to be a one-day fixture, but he played only two more matches before a combination of form loss, a foot problem and attitude lost him his place.

Tattooed Zune Boy buys a black 80GB iPod Classic

Last week, Tattooed Zune Boy decided he was annoyed with Microsoft's apparent lack of Zune updates and information, and said he was going to cover up his three Zune tattoos. He said he would still be purchasing Zunes but that he was gonna go out and look at the alternatives. Soon after, in a post on the Zune Scene forums entitled "Bought my new PMP today....", mszunefan announced what he ended up buying:

Three Words That Could Overthrow Physics: ?What Is Magnetism??

When Pliny the Elder first beheld a magnet, he was utterly blown away. “What phenomenon is more astonishing?� he wrote later. “Where has nature shown greater audacity?� In the fifth century, St. Augustine of Hippo agreed, declaring himself “thunder­struck� by the sight of a magnet lifting several metal rings. Magnets, he announced, were proof that miracles were real and that God, therefore, existed. “Who would not be amazed,� Augustine marveled, “at this virtue of the stone?� Certainly the 4-year-old Albert Einstein was amazed. When his father showed him a compass, it was young Albert’s first clue, he later wrote, that there was “something behind things, something deeply hidden,� and he spent his life trying to find it.

Dick Motz

Motz, Richard Charles, was found dead in his flat on April 29, 2007, aged 67. In the 1960s when New Zealand were regularly beaten up by other Test teams, Dick Motz represented their best means of retaliation. He was a big strong outswing bowler with an easy action and ferocious energy. "He gave it heaps all the time," said his friend and Test skipper Graham Dowling. "He was a captain's dream." Motz was chosen for Canterbury as a 17-year-old, and took three wickets in his first three overs: a few weeks later he was talked about as a possible for New Zealand's 1958 tour of England.

Buying a vehicle on ebay motors

A friend at work recently got a used 2005 Infiniti G35. We talked about where he got it. The look on my face when he told me he bought it off of ebay. I was shocked. But the explained the process to. He didnt buy it off of some random Joe on ebay. But he told me most dealers put the vehicles on ebay. He said he checked out the vehicle and had an independent inspection before putting in a bid. Everything checked out and he bought it from the dealer with a good price. Its a nice vehicle and i've been on looking on EBay. It looks like a pretty good means to buy a vehicle as long as you do your research and testdrive before jumping into the online foray.

Bob Florence: Jazz composer and band leader

Only the best musicians succeed in Los Angeles. The pianist Bob Florence, who was born there, won on two fronts: he led one of the finest big bands in the city, Bob Florence's Limited Edition, and he was one of the most sought-after composers and arrangers of music for the city's commercial studios. His often complex compositions ranked with the finest jazz writing of the last 50 years. Yet, despite the fact that he was regularly called to work in London, he was not as well known in jazz circles in Britain as he should have been.

De Villiers presses on for SAfrica in cricket test

de Villiers' defiance gives SA hope

AB de Villiers shrugged off the disappointment of missing out on his seventh Test century, and instead took pleasure in England's discomfort, after their apparently serene progression towards a consolation victory in the fourth Test at The Oval was interrupted by some doughty lower-order resistance. Having at one stage envisaged a target of little more than 100, England were left chasing an awkward 197, thanks to de Villiers' 97 and a series-best 34 from Paul Harris.

How Would You Sentence A Convicted Spammer?

We've covered some of the case against spammer Robert Soloway. He was arrested back in May of 2007 on criminal (rather than civil) charges. He'd already lost multimillion dollar civil lawsuits from Microsoft and an ISP. He hadn't paid a dime of what he owed. Instead, he just kept on spamming. When he was arrested, of course, officials claimed that it would have an immediate impact on spam -- but it doesn't seem like spam has decreased at all. Earlier this year, Soloway pleaded guilty, and now the judge in the case is struggling over what the sentence should be, noting that there's little to compare it to that may be appropriate (her closest approximation: a polluter).

Comcast Is Reading Your Blog

Paolo writes "A Washington student got a bit of a shock when he received an email from internet service provider Comcast about comments he had made on his blog. Brandon Dilbeck, a student at the University of Washington, writes a blog and used it to complain about the service he was getting from Comcast. Shortly afterwards he got an email message from Comcast apologizing for the problems and suggesting he might look at a guide it had posted on its web site. Lyza Gardner, a vice president at a Web development company in Portland used Twitter to complain about the company and was surprised to be contacted directly. Comcast is now monitoring blogs as a way of improving its image among customers. The company was ranked at the bottom of the most recent American Customer Satisfaction Index.

7 iPhone 3G's and now I get...

Someone better wake up Apple and find out what is going on in Cupertino.. Today I went to my Apple Store to exchange my 3rd iPhone since mine was powering on by itself. So during my meeting with the Genius Bar it was determined that the unit was defective again and they would swap it out with a refurb. Well when we opened the first one it had huge speckles that were sharp on the back of the phone. Almost as if dirt was on the phone and it was painted over. So the genius (funny term) then went back and got another one and what do you know? Yup.. Defective paint. At this time he told me if I get another one with bad paint to just take it and come back a month later and swap it again. Well.. you guessed it there was a dent in the paint and I was forced to take it with me.
