Meet Sean Penn, Saddam’s useful idiot.  A scathing roast of Sean Penn’s trip to Iraq.   Unsurprising, though.  Robert Heinlein wrote a couple of similar accounts of officially guided trips to the Soviet Union in his 1980 book of Essay’s "Expanded Universe". 

Microsoft Must Bundle Java. There’s good news for competition now that a federal judge has said he’ll support an injunction requiring Microsoft to bundle… No surprise that I disagree with Dan Gillmor on this.  Yes, it’s true that Microsoft took aim at Java.  It’s also true that Sun aimed Java at Microsoft.  I can’t think of anything more ludicrous than a failed competitor winning an injunction to force the foe to bundle the competing product. 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Merry Christmas!
