| Who will be the Nation Builder of 2007?
Barlow has written many books to call attention to what is happening behind the scenes in government and has worked hard travelling the country to inform Canadians. The work of Ms. Barlow and the Council has helped to bring Canadians the information they need to stay safe, to keep our Canadian values and maintain our sovereignty in a political climate that would take all of that away in a very secretive heart beat.

Ten Days With Leopard: Coolest Cat Ever
The act of upgrading a MacBook from Tiger to Leopard was not without problems. Let's just say you should not proceed without first making a full-on backup. Once it's properly installed, however, Leopard shines. Spaces gives you a ton of extra desktop real estate, Time Machine will probably get more people to play it safe and keep constant backups, and smaller features just plain make sense. As much as $2 billion in potential sales could have been lost in 2006 due to online security concerns.

A Little Bit Country a Lot Glam on the CMA Red Carpet
It was jeans for some (Kid Rock, of course) and gowns for others at last night's 41st Annual Country Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. Nicole Kidman definitely brought the most bang to the red carpet in her bold dress — sure it looks a little like one of those cheesy college dorm felt-y posters, but it's not like she can't pull it off. Carrie Underwood looked typically great while fellow former Idol-er Kellie Picker looked surprisingly demure for her. I must admit that Kate Walsh looked pretty smokin', finding a way to be on our ABC Wednesday night even when Private Practice was preempted for these awards. Fab wants to know what you think about all the red carpet looks — check out her love it or hate its. Meanwhile, Bella's all interested in what you think about everyone's beauty, so check her polls out here.

Radio silence
If sombody lives in a high rise and can't get AM, there's always this internet thing I've heard so much about and am using right now.
Many urban areas are limited in the amount of urban music they can get because of the nearly lilly white talk CBC stations on FM. Posted 05/02/08 at 11:28 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .
Review: This notebook is all business
My demo unit was running Windows Vista Business, which for some reason doesn't ship with the common Codecs needed to play DVDs. Only consumer editions of Vista do; I guess Microsoft figures business people don't need to play DVDs. I didn't discover this until onboard my transcon flight, which meant four hours reading the in-flight magazine instead of enjoying the hilarity that is Superbad. Once on the ground and on the Web, with some searching I was able to download the needed codecs from a third-party Web-site; Microsoft had wanted me to pay them for an upgrade instead Woe is Vista That's not my main Vista beef, however. That lies with their overzealous anti-piracy practices. When I first received the demo notebook I unpacked it, flipped it on and began the initial automated install.
