Love them or hate them, hashtags are reportedly coming to Facebook - sometime - and most marketers couldn't be happier.
Love them or hate them, hashtags are reportedly coming to Facebook - sometime - and most marketers couldn't be happier.
Although there has been no official announcement or comment by the social media giant, the long-rumored idea of Facebook incorporating hashtags - the ubiquitous # symbol used on Twitter to make certain keywords or topics searchable - gathered momentum late last week after "informed sources" told The Wall Street Journal that the company is indeed serious about the idea. The sources reportedly told the WSJ, however, that the move is not imminent.
Still, the concept already has some marketers drooling at the prospect of being able to find and be found more easily on Facebook. "Bring em on," enthuses Natalie Burgwin, senior manager, public relations at 1-800-Got-Junk? which bills itself as the world's largest junk removal company, about the hashtags. "Visibility is the name of the game on social media and hashtags are going to increase that," she notes.
Indeed, the possibilities seem endless, if little is yet known about how, when, and where Facebook will incorporate the feature. Hashtags enable topics to be categorized and searched, which in theory would make it easier for brands to insert themselves into conversations around certain topics. That could make Facebook host more often to the types of discussion and interaction about TV shows that frequently occur on Twitter, notes Jean-Philippe Gaudette, social media strategist at Codmorse, a Montreal-based web agency. "Instead of posting comments by the brand page, users will be able to share their thoughts and read other people's thoughts without using the 'official' channel," he notes.
Companies will also most likely seek to fit themselves into current trends and discussions to get more visibility, much as they do with trending topics on Twitter. "This will probably lead to some original and creative campaigns, but also to commercial spam on user-created topics, such as the Twitter trending topics based on jokes, that brands often use in a clumsy way to try and look cool," Gaudette notes.
Taylor Aldredge, in charge of digital and social media for Boston-based Grasshopper, a provider of virtual phone systems, believes hashtags will help bridge the gap for Facebook users with more people outside of their network, which will change the way brands can interact on the platform. "Facebook will look a little more organic with this addition as long as conversation is possible around a public hashtag," he says.
The tags could also give community managers, frustrated by perceived lower organic reach caused by Facebook's new algorithms, the prospect of regaining some audience attention. And hashtags could also serve as important tools for cross-platform marketing campaigns, according to Steve Birkett, marketing associate with the Esvee Group, a marketing and web services consultancy in Brooklyn. Users could also post promotional hashtags on their pages if they so choose, as they do on Twitter.
Facebook should also benefit from keeping people on its site longer. Microsoft recently used a hashtag on Facebook, the logo #Reborn, in a graphic to announce the relaunch of its Tomb Raider video game. Since there was no way to connect it to other Facebook content or campaigns, it linked to out to a pre-order site. "Subject to how Facebook employs them, functional hashtags would allow more varied marketing content, without forcing people to leave the site," Birkett notes.
Not everyone believes the hashtag will be a huge success at Facebook, however. Michael Freeman, senior search manager at ShoreTel Sky, which provides enterprises with hosted VoIP phone systems, says that the type of conversation coveted by Facebook may simply sit better over at Twitter. "Facebook has a hurdle in moving B2B conversations predominately from Twitter and LinkedIn over to their platform because users view Facebook as the main place for their personal social life but not their professional life."
Facebook is the only major social media platform, other than Flickr, to not use hashtags. Google+, Pinterest, and even Facebook subsidiary Instagram commonly make use of the symbols. But as many point out, the hashtag has taken on a meaning beyond just a search tool and come to represent a cultural phenomenon, often to demonstrate humor or self-irony, which is one explanation for why people and companies have been using it on Facebook.
Not everyone is amused, however. There is even a Facebook group - with 10,164 likes and counting - called "This is not Twitter. Hashtags don't work here." For their sake, let's hope that's not true for long.

Celebrating 50 years of civil rights
On July 2 the Florida Commission on Human Relations joined the state of Florida and the rest of the nation in recognizing the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Enacted in 1964, this landmark piece of legislation outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin. It set forth to end unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public, such as motels and restaurants.
The law's provisions also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to address race and sex discrimination in the workplace; created a Community Relations Service to help local communities solve racial disputes; authorized federal intervention to ensure the desegregation of schools, parks, swimming pools and other public facilities; and restricted the use of literacy tests as a requirement for voter registration.
As executive director with the Florida Commission on Human Relations, I share in its mission to prevent unlawful discrimination by ensuring that all people in Florida are treated fairly and have access to opportunities on the job, buying or renting a home and visiting certain public places, such as a cafeteria, a gas station, a hotel or a museum. The commission is charged with enforcing the state's civil rights laws and serving as a resource on human relations for the people of Florida.
It is against Florida law to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status or familial status. The commission investigates complaints of discrimination in the areas of employment, housing, public accommodations and state employee whistle-blower retaliation.
The commission is also responsible for promoting fair treatment, equal opportunity and mutual respect among members of all economic, social, racial, religious and ethnic groups and works to eliminate discrimination against groups and their members.
As the rest of the nation reflects upon the importance of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, let us all here in Florida reflect upon its importance as well.
Michelle Wilson, executive director, Florida Commission on Human Relations, Tallahassee

This video is a fan-created trailer for the documentary "Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag"... it was an educational exercise in seeing how far I could push Windows Movie Maker in editing together high-quality video clips and trying to match edits to music.
It turns out you can exceed the capabilities of the XP version of Movie Maker quite rapidly. I was forced to boot up Vista and use the new version of Movie Maker in order to successfully encode the final cut. Finally, I've found a use for Vista! The good news is that project files will upgrade to the Vista version relatively smoothly.

I am going to try and keep this short and simple because I could talk about this movie all day. I can honestly say this is one movie that always gives me a good cry. The performances by each cast member is so amazing and real and emotinal that you feel like you are with them. Throughout the movie, it makes you think of who you are and how society is. I recommend this movie to everyone and I fully believe that parents today should make their children watch this film; I am 25 yrs old and shocked to know that a majority of my friends have never heard of this film.Was this review helpful?

I would rank this as one of the top classic love stories. Even though this was done back in the 1960's the issues are still with us today. After To Kill a Mockingbird this is one of my all time favorite movies. I cry every time I have seen this movie and Spencer Tracy's speech at the end is memorable. I can almost say word for word with tears in my eyes. this is my first review and as I was checking the viewers review chart, it was a five star ranking in almost each catagory.

'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' is one true cinematic treasure. This film is wonderful because it was made by one of Hollywood's greatest duos, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. I doubt audiences back then would respond to this if it wasn't for the duo. Although it would not shock me if people then would be thinking Hollywood had finally lost its edge with this one. It was a keen decision to have Kate and Spencer be the leads because in doing so they were assuring not only box-office draw -- people would be returning to watch their favorite unmarried couple bicker, lovingly, yet again -- but a strong statement. This film was made while Spencer Tracy was dying. Spencer had to put his entire salary in escrow in order for the film company to allow him to do the film. So why did Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy agree to do this film, without immediate payment? Because it's a film about forbidden love, it's a film about loving someone no matter what society thinks, or what the rules are. This is something Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn knew a great deal about. Potier of course turns in a great performance, impeccable as always. Watch for Isabel Sanford, ("The Jefferson's") particularly the one memorable scene where she explains to Potier's character just what "black power" really is. Cecil Kellaway sparkles as Monsignor Ryan, and Beah Richards and Roy Glenn, as the parents to Potier's character, mirror Hepburn and Tracy. Katharine Houghton (Hepburn's niece), as Johanna Drayton, also done well but her inexperience is very apparent due to the heavyweight cast. What makes this film outstanding is, by the end of the film you realize, Kate and Spencer are not even acting they are relaying their feelings about each other, through the film. Once you catch that, the drama of the final few scenes is just unparalleled and Spencer's final speech, about his love for Kate (Christina), can drive even the most twisted soul to tears. A few things to catch in this film, watch Kate's face when Spencer recites the line, 'screw what the rest of the world thinks about your love'...those are real tears. Watch Spencer Tracey as he paces back and forth on the terrace near the end of the film. He realizes he is about to begin one of the last scenes he will ever film. He's line 'well I'll be a son of a bitch'...is more a realization he's about to make his last grandstand on the big screen, in his entire career. There is so much real honest-to-god acting talent concentrated in this movie, it. It's such a treat to watch these legendary actors at work. I highly recommend it.Was this review helpful?

This film is one of the best of the decade. It has a superb cast, perfectly acted by each. Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy shouldn't have acted with anyone but each other, and the final monologue by Tracy seems to ring true in his real life. This film is way ahead of its time in that it accepted the idea of an interracial relationship. I wish more films were made like this one. Excellent! A great addition for any classic film fan!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Comments about Loewe Esencia Cologne:
It's a mature scent, and surprisingly strong. For those that want to be noticed. The dark green color of the bottle is very appropriate, it has a deep green smell with something more substantial, maybe the leather smell. It shares some resemblance to Paco Rabanne classic green scent, and also maybe to the classic Gucci and Polo Green, only this has taken the scent a little on the wild side. Recomended for late fall, winter, and early spring use.

On Cutting A Deal To Avert The Fiscal Cliff
Here's the reality of the situation.
— The economy is in bad shape and it's conceivable that going over the fiscal cliff could push it into recession, although nobody really knows one way or the other.
— Going over the fiscal cliff is probably the best hope for deficit reduction we'll have in the next four years.
— We're being told that Republicans will be blamed if we go over the fiscal cliff and that may be so. However, the Republicans always seem to be blamed, so what else is new?
— Publicly at least, the Democrats don't seem to be making any sort of serious attempt to avoid the cliff. They're refusing to continue the status quo, they're offering nothing of significance in return for tax increases and Barack Obama is on vacation. In fact, the Democrat strategy seems to be to go over the cliff and play it for politic's sake.
Republicans in Congress have received all sorts of advice on how to handle this and here's mine: A good deal is better than no deal, but no deal is better than a bad deal.
Just as Barack Obama was reelected, Republicans were reelected to control the House. So, John Boehner has every bit as much of a mandate as Barack Obama to deal with the situation as he sees fit. In an ideal world, we wouldn't go over the fiscal cliff, but if this were an ideal world, Barack Obama wouldn't be President and people like Nancy Pelosi would be considered unelectable.
However, in the real world that we're in, the Republican base is going to be unhappy if the party raises taxes and that would do as much political damage, if not more, than the Democrats' transparent attempts to engineer a crisis so they can blame Republicans for it. That doesn't mean the GOP shouldn't cut a deal, but it does mean that if they do, it needs to be a genuine compromise, not a Republican cave-in. If the Democrats want tax increases, are they willing to cut spending NOW? Are they willing to put real entitlement reform on the table? If the answer is "No," they're only willing to offer small spending cuts or will only agree to offer spending cuts in the future, then offer to continue things "as is." If they refuse that offer, then go over the cliff and point the finger where it belongs — at the President of the United States.
Barack Obama has spent four years engaging in the most hamfisted partisanship we've seen since the Nixon years even as he's claimed to be a bipartisan reformer. He apparently intends to keep that up throughout his second term and that cannot be allowed. Republicans should represent the people who sent them by cooperating if it's in the best interests of the country and saying "No" when it isn't.

"The save the date was everything I wanted. I was able to customize the card to add personal touches about our wedding. Everyone loved the beach themed postcard. I highly recommend this product."
"My fiance and I chose this card as our Save the Date and couldn't be more pleased! The quality of the paper great and the design is simple, tasteful, and lovely. It highlighted all the important information on front and allowed us to add a personalized message (including information about our wedding website) on the back. The ONLY draw back to this design is that the address lines on the back are TEENY TINY! Addressing them took focus, as it was hard to fit full names (ex: "John and Jane Smith" became "The Smiths"). It worked because the postcard was informal, but was not ideal. Overall... love, love, LOVE!"
"I loved the quality of this card. I ordered it in the extra thick paper and it is great quality. As far as the design though, I really wish I would have taken out the "//" (two slashes). The slashes mix in with out actual date and it doesn't look right. Other than that, no complaints!"
"I was extremely happy with the service. They contacted me quickly and continued to work with me until I was happy with the product. Loved working with them."
"Perfect selection for our taste. Paper quality was great, however I would have liked more choices rather than super thick and shiny. Printing came out great, as well as font choices. I loved that I could personalize as much as I wanted but not too much and become overwhelmed. All my requests were met. Cannot wait to hear what my family says!"

The charge-sheet in the gang-rape of the 23-year-old physiotherapy student in a moving bus would be filed next week, according to a senior police official.
"We are going to file the charge-sheet either on Monday or Tuesday next week," he added.
Akshay Singh, an accused in the case who had been sent to judicial custody earlier, was produced in a city court on Thursday which sent him to police custody for two days. The police said his custody was sought as some more recoveries had to be made in the case.
Singh, however, has refused a Test Identification Parade in the robbery case of Ramadhar Singh, who was allegedly robbed and dumped by the gang-rape accused on the same day.
All six accused in the case have been arrested and the statements of the victim and her male friend, who was also assaulted inside the bus, have been recorded.
The girl's statement had to be recorded before a Judicial Magistrate, under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code, after allegations of having attempted to influence a Sub-Divisional Magistrate while recording the statement had been levelled against the police.
The licence of Dinesh Yadav — a Noida-based travel operator who owned the contract carriage bus inside which the heinous crime was committed by the six accused, including the driver Ram Singh — had been suspended in the aftermath of the crime. However, it is now learnt that in the past, the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) had complained to the transport department against Mr. Yadav.
"The DTC, in its complaint had said that Mr. Yadav had deployed musclemen to stop other buses from plying on some routes in which his own buses were ferrying passengers. These musclemen intimidated the staff of the DTC buses," said a police source.
The source added that Mr. Yadav had been operating a few buses on Route No. 323 and his buses had to compete with DTC buses for passengers, which led to the alleged threats issued to the DTC staff members.
Asked whether the DTC had made any complaints to the police, the source said the complaint had to be made through the transport department which had not intimated them. He added that Mr. Yadav had received permits to run contract carriage buses using fake addresses.

Gertie Turns One Hundred
November 4, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
A century ago, well before Jurassic Park or The Land Before Time or even plain old moribund Godzilla, cinema's preeminent dinosaur was Gertie, a colorless, potentially narcoleptic herbivore, species indeterminate, fond of dancing and casting elephants into the sea. Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) was one of the first animated films; it pioneered key-frame animation, a technique in which a story's major positions were drawn first and the intervening frames were filled in afterward. Gertie's creator, the cartoonist Winsor McCay, made more than ten thousand drawings of her, and these, as you can see above, yielded fewer than seven minutes of animated footage. (If you want to skip straight to the Gertie goods, head to the seven-minute mark, but beware—you'll miss some riveting live-action scenes featuring well-dressed gentlemen shaking hands, well-dressed gentlemen gathering at a dinner party, and well-dressed gentlemen smoking.)
This Friday, as part of the MoMA International Festival of Film Preservation, the animation historian John Canemaker hosts a screening of Gertie and three of McCay's other early animations, "as well as a re-creation—with audience participation—of the legendary routine that introduced Gertie in McCay's vaudeville act." No elephants will be harmed.
Snow Day
August 27, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
Disney's Snow White is an animation classic, and a beautiful one. But if you're looking for something altogether weirder (albeit shorter) go back four years, and check out the Fleischer Studios's 1933 Snow White. Technically, this is a Betty Boop short, and it's true that the iconic flapper does indeed play "the fairest in the land." But the cartoon is really a showcase for all kinds of wholly unrelated tricks.
Although it's technically a "Fleischer Brothers" production, in fact Max and Dave Fleischer didn't have much to do with Snow White, which is considered the masterpiece of animator Roland Crandall. Apparently Crandall was given free rein on this short as a reward for all his work for the studio, and took full advantage. It's incredibly innovative, and seriously trippy. This isn't the only Fleischer Brothers cartoon to employ the voice talents of bandleader Cab Calloway, or even his rotoscoped moves (he also cameoed as the Old Man of the Mountain), but it's the best: as Koko the Clown, and then a ghost, Calloway does a haunting rendition of the "St. James Infirmary Blues," and then what might be the first recorded instance of the moonwalk. What does any of this have to do with the story of Snow White? Not all that much. But that's what Disney was for.

Fernando Trueba on 'Chico and Rita'
June 27, 2011 | by Joshua Jelly-Schapiro
Few contemporary cineastes have enjoyed so estimably varied a career as Fernando Trueba. A onetime book editor whose film oeuvre has garnered no fewer than twenty-eight Goyas, he won an Oscar for Belle Epoque (1993), his sexy tale of a young deserter from Spain's Civil War landing up at the farm of an aging artist whose comely daughters—one craven, one queer, one a young Penélope Cruz—impart a barnful of lessons about women and love. Since the 2000 release of Calle 54, his warm, exacting documentary on Latin jazz, Trueba has also devoted much energy to the music he loves. His work as a music producer has perhaps been highlighted by his association with Bebo Valdés, the supreme Cuban pianist whose sound was key to the evolution of both Cuban dance music and American jazz a half-century ago and who has spent his ninth decade making impeccable records with his Spanish friend. Trueba's latest project, a gorgeous animated feature built from Valdés's music and moments, marks a culmination of his work not only with the ninety-two-year-old pianist but with another long-term collaborator, the celebrated Spanish designer and artist Javier Mariscal. I caught up with Trueba a few days after Chico and Rita opened the Miami International Film Festival to a rousing ovation.
Where did you get the idea to do an animated film about Cuban music in the forties and fifties?
One day I was in Mariscal's studio in Barcelona, and I saw some drawings he'd done of Habana Vieja. That's when the lightbulb came on: we should make a movie in these streets, in a Havana created by Mariscal. We agreed that it should be a story about musicians. And then I suggested that if we have a story of a pianist, we could have Bebo play. And I thought, well, what Bebo represents is the style of the forties and fifties, so let's do a story set in that period. How beautiful—the Havana nightlife of that time, which I knew only from books, or the stories of friends like [Guillermo] Cabrera Infante, the great Cuban writer of Tres Triste Tigres. And it also seemed like a time that was great visually, for Mariscal this era was when modern design started. We started developing the idea, and Mariscal said he felt the work should be very dramatic, like a bolero. And so we had that reference for the story—not a cinematographic reference, or a literary reference, but a song reference. Not a song-style reference, but a song itself. We wanted to build the story like a song, like a bolero.
The tone of a bolero is melodrama, and a lot of those elements are in the story: lost love, longing, nostalgia for that breezy room over the Malecon where Chico and Rita first make love. But how did the music come into it as you were actually writing the script?
When I was writing, I was trying to imagine how Mariscal's drawings would move, and I had Bebo's music in mind all the time. We used music to tell the story, to build the characters, the tension. When I work on live-action films, I leave a lot of room for last-minute decisions. Not in terms of the screenplay—I like to have the best possible screenplay in hand—but in terms of directing. I don't like to work with a close storyboard, like Hitchcock. I've done a lot of comedy, a lot of work with actors, and I often like to find the shot on the set, to improvise the line. But with animation, you have to think of every single shot. Absolutely everything is storyboard, and that's a big difference. To have to imagine one hundred percent of the movie, before it's actually done—it's a really strange mental exercise. But it's great, I love it.

Q & A with Nigel Mansell
|By Simon Strang
|Tuesday, July 5th 2011, 13:39 GMT
AUTOSPORT catches up with former world champion Nigel Mansell, who attended the press conference where Williams announced its new engine deal with Renault.
Nigel Mansell: I'm just thrilled to be part of this today to see that Renault and Williams are coming back together. Having won 28 races for them in our career and the world championship the one time was truly an amazing experience and I'm just pleased for the whole team. And I'm pleased for the British fans, it's really good.
Q. Have you found it sad watching the decline of Williams over the last few years?
NM: Well you hear people say the decline, but the decline has only been in the not winning, because they have been there or thereabouts and they are right in the midfield, or above midfield. This will make a huge difference, the impetus that they will gain from this knowing that there is something in the back [of the car] that they don't have to question, they can concentrate more on the aerodynamics on the car, which is so, so important. Everyone has got the same tyre package now with Pirelli, as they did with Bridgestone, so I think Williams could make a quantum leap at the end of this year and it will be very exciting for the fans and everybody.
Q. Are you looking to see them become regular podium finishers again?
NM: Yeah, there is no question. I work as an ambassador for Lotus Cars and so it is good to see Lotus doing so well with [Vitaly] Petrov and that. It's very exciting, because as you know Petrov with the sad accident that happened to Robert is in the hot seat now as #1, so to speak. He has had a couple of podiums and is doing a great job, and hopefully they will be getting better too.
Q. Do you believe you would have ever won your title if you hadn't been powered by Renault?
NM: I think the combination, it's never one thing. It's never an engine, it's never the car, it's never the tyres - it's not just the team, it's putting the package together. Nobody ever wins a world championship in a bad car. The car has to be good. What you can demonstrate is how could you can be as a driver, if you have the package together. Point in case; Sebastian Vettel. He's made less mistakes than any other driver this year, he's defending the world championship in a far better manner than he won it. He's matured beyond all belief, and he's riding the crest of a wave and he is doing a fantastic job. It's up to everybody else to do a better job and to start beating him.
Q. Do you have any advice for drivers on how to beat Vettel then?
NM: Yes. Don't make mistakes. We had the most extraordinary race in Canada, and I'm a big fan of Jenson anyway, but you know with six pitstops and to go out and still win the race was extraordinary. Never give up. Stop making those small mistakes from Thursday onwards. Because if you make one small mistake with the current rules and the allocation of tyres, it puts you on the back foot, so everything has to be perfect. I think that is the one rule I would change a little bit, to get a bit more activity on the circuit, I would give drivers another one or two sets of tyres so that people can make a little bit of a mistake and recover from it and actually tune the car a little bit more. They are playing into the hands of the great teams at the moment because the others can't catch up.
Q. In your championship season was there a point where you started to relax and think; 'well it's pretty much in the bag now'?
NM: No because I had been bridesmaid three times, and I had lost the world championship by one point at the last race. When you have been in those circumstances you never relax and you know I knew in the winter of '91, because I was supposed to go in for an operation on my left foot which was broken I couldn't afford three months off. So I put that operation off until the end of 1992 and just wore special shoes, because it's so important. You couldn't let anything get in the way, even having a few problems with your left foot, and having broken bones, doesn't matter. Don't let it get in the way.
Q. Seb has dropped just 14 points in eight races, which is something nobody else has ever done...
NM: It is phenomenal. Ferrari did set new benchmarks when they went three years without a mechanical breakdowns. Michael Schumacher won three world championships and people have said that it was through reliability as much as anything else. So Red Bull now are making a new benchmark what can be done from out of the starting blocks if you get everything perfect. But don't underestimate... Sebastian has done the best job with the Pirelli tyres, and for me my take on it is he's not been used to the other older tyres, where you get a lot of balance and grip and everything else, and there are a lot of drivers out there who have been used to a different type of tyres and they haven't had the same sort of response from the Pirelli as the past. And I think that Sebastian is dealing with the tyre situation far better than the others.
Q. How do you handle this weekend as a steward when the whole of Britain is looking at you and you?
NM: It's relatively easy. It's total transparency. No exceptions at all. The FIA's stewards play with a totally fair bat. It's going to be an exciting time, the only thing I will do is maybe speak to a couple of people and just make sure they do understand the regulations as well as they think.
Q. Are you expecting to have to make a few more decisions to make especially with all the changes this weekend?
NM: I'm told there is going to be a lot of exciting next weekend, but well it's the British Grand Prix! I think the drivers will do a fantastic job for themselves and also for British motorsport next weekend. I think the changes are going to be very exciting, I think it is going to affect some teams more than others and I think there are going to be a few not happy about it. But we will just have to wait and see.
Q. Do you think Lewis will have to change his mindset a little bit if he wants to win the British GP?
NM: No, I don't think so. Lewis is a racer and a fighter. The thing he hasn't got quite right is when you pass people just try not to knock em off! That's the only thing. Still go for the gaps, but give them a little room and don't do it on corners where there's no recovery. People are there to race, just like he is. You know he is a great racer and he has just got get it a bit more right than what he has done in the last few races.
Q. Is there any hope for the likes of Lewis and Jenson to catch Sebastian this year?
NM: It's a long season so absolutely. McLaren is a fantastic team and they have proved in the past... I mean I will never forget in the 1991 season, Ayrton came up to me halfway through the season and he says; 'Ha, ha, ha. Don't worry I've got a new engine coming and it's got 60 more horsepower.' And I just looked him and said; 'Yeah right'. The next race, another engine with 60 more horsepower and he blew the doors off everybody.
So you know teams can respond, manufacturers can respond, drivers can actually respond. I still think there is a long way to go. Obviously Red Bull domination, Sebastian with the point lead that he's got, is it realistic that someone can actually haul that back? They need a bit of help, they need lady luck on their side. Sebastian needs to be a bit unlucky, he needs reliability problems for them to pull that back, but it is never over until it's over.
Q. If you were Lewis would you be tempted to take a Red Bull seat next year?
NM: First of all he would have to be fortunate enough to be offered one. But for me Lewis has had an amazing career with McLaren and I think as Michael Schumacher proved by staying with Ferrari, if you can have the support of a team totally behind on you, build on that year on year. He hasn't exactly had a drought, McLaren are a fantastic team. Personally I would stay with McLaren and all the people who had supported him, through thick and thin, I think it might be a mistake if he changes teams.

Use iPod, go to Jail?
"That's the message from the "Save the iPod'' campaign. Holmes Wilson, an organizer of the Web-based movement, warns that the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act now pending in Congress threatens to silence the popular music player. In other words, your right to bear beats is in danger. [...]
The Induce Act would give the music industry and other copyright holders new legal grounds to sue any business that profits from encouraging people to illegally distribute songs, movies, software, games and other copyrighted works. The proposed law targets popular online file-swapping services such as Kazaa."
