Scott Tobkes sent me an article from the Herald Sun and here are the interesting bits:

During a demonstration of digital photography with a soon-to-be-released Nikon camera, a Windows Media Centre PC froze and wouldn’t respond Mr Gates’s efforts to push the remote control.

CBS News and the BBC report another mad cow woe in Canada. This is likely to sway the U.S. to stick to a current Canadian cattle ban.

One more reason to stick to poultry and fish…

Shall you need more advanced options, press the ‘Extended Menu’ option at the top. Implementation/installation details have been included. On the left:
