A back-to-the-future strategy for SaaS
One of the potentially hottest items in the software aisle of US electronics retailers this Christmas season is, if you ask Santa's load-bearing reindeer, just an empty box. .Mac (pronounced 'dot-Mac'), an online service from Apple, has been the second most-popular Mac offering at retail so far this year, according to The NPD Group. For US$99, buyers get one year's access to Web-based storage, e-mail and address book syncing between their iMacs and iPhones, among other features.

That's partly why the deputy secretary of Defense relies so heavily on his aide's judgment on all things German, particularly when it comes to the War on Nazism's German outreach program. This program brings Nazi apologists into the inner sanctum of the American war machine ...
Sound crazy?
Travel forward to 1973. The deputy secretary of Defense's Soviet-born, Russian-speaking aide is gunning for the one intelligence officer who has boned up on Marx, Engels and Soviet military doctrine. More>>

Movie Review - Charlie Wilson's War
AMERICA'S WAR... According to The Biography Channel they describe him as follows: "Charlie Wilson was a congressman from Texas who took in hot tub sessions with cocaine-sniffing strippers while helping bring down the Soviet empire. At least that's the skinny on him for the new film Charlie Wilson's War, starring Tom Hanks."
Well, the main idea is there, and that is what matters in this well paced, well told bio-pic on one of the most unknown yet important people at the end of the last century and a major player in the eventual fall of the USSR.
