News & Events - February 2007

About a week before Xmas there was an article in the Daily Mail newspaper (UK). It contained funny stories regarding people calling helplines for help with their computer. For instance, people calling up asking how they fix their cup holder (CD drive), and people calling up saying their computer was not working (when they had a power cut). It was really funny, but my mum threw the paper out before I got the chance to remove the article. I would really like to get hold of it and have searched the Daily Mail website without any luck. Does anyone remember this article and if so can you remember the title of the article as this may help narrow down my search for it. If not does anyone have any suggestions of how I might get hold of it?

The Global Warming issue has gotten a lot of attention recently. So what do you think? Is it something that presents a real problem? Or is it really not that big of a deal?

I don't think an Al Gore Global Warming speech would go over very well about now..

Last night he stated that the death of soldiers in Iraq are more important than the death of Anna Nicole Smith. That really bothered me. Each life born and lost is not more important than the rest. He also said he was not suprised Anna Nicole Smith was dead. I know she had her flaws but he just bashed her after her death. Who does he think he is. Just wondering if anyone felt the same.

Within hours of Hamas and Fatah declaring a ceasefire against each other, the "Palestinians" once again turned their attention to Israel. The excuse this time, according to the AP, is Israel's construction of a ramp some 200 feet (60 meters) from the Temple Mount. "Palestinians" accused Israel of plotting to harm Islamic shrines.

has just stated. I have just returned from Rwanda where I met many, many people whose whole families had been wiped out during the 1994 Genocide.. they had NO-ONE... i met women who had been raped by multiple men during 1994 and were now living with Aids, unwanted children or injuries which left them ostracised from their communities.....THAT IS TRAGEDY

Why does the media have to make such sweeping statements? It is sad that she died but the tragedies in her life were self induced [ASIDE FROM HER SON'S DEATH].

She married a guy on his last legs and he unsurprisingly died a year later...how is that a tragedy??? She was in the media spotlight of her own volition and developed a drug/alcohol problem [yet still lived in comfort] .. how is that tragic?... She could have kept a lower profile and attempted to resolve her problems...

It just makes me angry that people in the West [and I am British] feel that we are so hard done by in life....

I heard once that at least one famous tourism blogger attained a status of a mainstream travel journalist, with hotels and attractions inviting him/her to visit and write reviews about their establishments.

Also I once read that a blogger has attained recognition by the White House and participates in news conferences alongside reporters from the traditional media.

Are these stories true? If so, where can I find evidence for them? Are there any other significant stories of governmental and commercial organizations officially recognizing bloggers?
