This is a technology that many different companies have been working on for quite some time now. And now, according to some press photos and a VERY brief “press release” on Siemens AG’s web site, it seems like it might be just around the corner: Siemens AG – Siemens Innovations Paperlike Display One application of the “paperlike display” seems to have be given the name epyrus, but it is quite impossible to find any more information anywhere about the unit.

I have finally created my own RSS blog reader! And it’s pretty darn cool if I may say so myself. It will eventually be part of the hollowcube.com blog interface, so it’s in ‘Beta’ at this moment. Its based on Samuel Wan’s RSSDataFactory parser and Micheal has threatened to release the source code eventually. I can’t wait. This

Rumsfeld told CBS that if they are indeed coalition soldiers, “those pictures are a violation of the Geneva Convention.” Arab TV Shows Captured American Troops (washingtonpost.com) But, of course, the Afghan prisoners held in Cuba aren’t prisoners of war, at least according to US government.
