Posted by Bill *** According to Iraq the Model, a coalition of Iraqi insurgent groups has declared war on Al Qaeda: While the American embassy today resumed its talks with the Sunni leading politicians, 6 Iraqi militant groups announced that they will unite their forces and join the rest of resident of Anbar and Salahiddin in fighting al-Qeda. The new militant groups included the Islamic army, the Anbar martyr’s brigades and the 1920 revolution brigades. This change sounds positive and encouraging. Although I always preferred that the government deals with such issues instead of militias because if those militias succeed in their new mission, they will have demands and they will gain leverage in later bargains when they will be asked to drop their arms (that’s if they have a plan to do so in the future).
We are witnessing the Cuban missile crisis of our era, I fear — only this time, we can’t rely on the secret agnosticism of the communists to save face and blink ... Sounds about right.

Body Area Network (BAN) Like everything else, implantable medical devices are going wireless. A new in-body antenna chip from Zarlink Semiconductor is in preproduction, and should appear in pacemakers and hearing implants this year. By transmitting data to and receiving instructions from nearby base stations, BAN chips can reprogram your heartbeat at your doctor's office or make a diagnosis from a bedside wireless monitor at home. Very cool.

Wait until hackers get a hold of that one.... Posted by: Robb Allen (Sharp as a Marble) at January 23, 2006 10:06 AM I know, right? That's one of my chief concerns with all of these wireless biomentrics, especially neural implants. Well, that, and pop-ups in your brain. Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 23, 2006 10:11 AM Yeah, and I'm already having problems with extra voices up there, some of which already are urging me to buy C!@lis at discount prices. God knows I don't need any more of them. Posted by: Robb Allen (Sharp as a Marble) at January 23, 2006 10:46 AM Just another one of the many double standards among what is PC and what is not!
