War Stories: Why Fight?
Suspend habeas corpus and enact martial law?
Americans seem ready to forfeit their most basic civil liberty -- actually, all their civil liberties -- without a whimper. By a vote of 93-7 the Senate this month approved a military appropriations bill empowering the government to designate any U.S. citizen within the country as a terrorist and to have the military hold him indefinitely without trial and without the right to habeas corpus, the right to be brought before a court for a judgment on the legality of one's imprisonment.

Lunch with the FT: Mitsuko Uchida - FT.com
Heuuu? C'est partout la même chose. La différence est qu'elle est expatriée.And the vulgarity? “Have you never visited a Japanese household? The traditional image is of clear-cut lines, everything so simple, nothing to be seen except the tatami mat. Today, every tiny Japanese apartment is crammed with a mishmash of souvenirs, east European embroidery, a candle from Greece, a German plate, a good-luck cat with one hand up – superstitious things you can buy at a temple. There’s an obsession with labels but no judgment of what constitutes vulgarity. People are more affluent. There’s a lack of confidence about tradition because the Japanese are still enthralled with western culture. But when I look at [the classical music boom in] China, Japan and Korea, the only country where they seem to be genuinely music-loving is Korea.”
Siri goes down for iPhone 4S owners across the country | VentureBeat
Siri, Apple’s new voice assistant feature for the iPhone 4S, is apparently suffering from an outage, which has rendered it useless for many iPhone owners. The outage began at around 11 am PST today.
Siri isn’t just a simple piece of voice control software. To function properly, Siri must communicate with one of Apple’s servers for additional information.
Même si un travail de décodage est fait au niveau de l'iPhone 4S, le véritable coeur de Siri est dans le nuage de la pomme (ze Apple's Cloud). C'est là que sont stockées et analysées toutes les phrases que vous croyez prononcer dans l'intimité de votre assistant numérique. Mais votre iPhone n'est pas votre assistant numérique, c'est l'assistant de Cupertino dans votre poche : nuance.

The Battle Japan’s Losing: Population Falls Again - Japan Real Time - WSJ
About 146,200 more people died than were born during the year, another sobering record high, for the fourth straight year. The spread of people is also increasingly becoming concentrated in cities as economically struggling rural towns and villages empty. A little over 90% of citizens reside in cities. Indeed, there are more people who reside in Tokyo’s concrete jungle alone, about 12.66 million people, than all of the small towns across the country combined (11.86 million), according to the ministry numbers.
