“To be hon­est there isn’t much to learn here though. This first set of feed­back talks about some of the tags that are pro­posed… and there are a lot of them. It is quite easy to pick on the odd tag here and there to ask “do we really neeeeeed it?” So, I am glad that Microsoft has joined the fun, and I look for­ward to more con­ver­sa­tion. You know, stuff like: Are you going to imple­ment Can­vas guys? Web Work­ers? CSS good­ness? Tell me you have a kick arse JavaScript VM ready to shock the world? Game on.” I agree.

“US Sec­re­tary of State Hillary Clin­ton is head­ing to the Demo­c­ra­tic Repub­lic Of Congo, where she will speak out on the country’s deadly civil con­flict. Mrs Clin­ton is expected to call for an end to rights abuses, includ­ing mass rapes report­edly car­ried out by rebels and gov­ern­ment troops.”

“Israeli planes have bombed a smug­gling tun­nel into Gaza after Pales­tin­ian mor­tars fell near the main cross­ing from Gaza into Israel. The Israeli mil­i­tary said two mor­tar shells landed a few hun­dred metres from Erez cross­ing as urgent Pales­tin­ian med­ical cases were being transferred.”

“The Pak­istani gov­ern­ment says it intends to pro­vide con­clu­sive proof that Bait­ul­lah Mehsud, leader of the Pak­istani Tal­iban, is dead. In Wash­ing­ton, US National Secu­rity Adviser Jim Jones put the level of US cer­tainty that he had been killed “in the 90% cat­e­gory”. But Tal­iban sources have denied these claims, insist­ing he is still alive.”

“The antivi­ral drugs being used to treat swine flu do not appear to work well in chil­dren, say UK researchers. Their work in the British Med­ical Jour­nal shows Tam­i­flu and Relenza rarely pre­vent com­pli­ca­tions in chil­dren who have nor­mal sea­sonal flu.” Not the best of news.

“The US has put 50 Afghans sus­pected to be drug traf­fick­ers with Tal­iban links on a list of peo­ple to be “cap­tured or killed”, the New York Times reports. Two Amer­i­can gen­er­als have told the US Con­gress that the pol­icy is legal under the military’s rules of engage­ment and inter­na­tional law, the paper says. In a report, yet to be released, it was described as a key strat­egy to dis­rupt the flow of drug money to the Taliban.”

Free pho­to­shop brushes, you because.
