...player, the Zune has some technical failings. Its built-in radio is too staticky, no match for the radios found in iriver and Samsung MP3 players. It can't record radio streams, and there isn't even a way to program station presets. And unlike those competing devices, it doesn't have a built-in voice recorder. Also, while I found most of the interface to be pleasant, I did run into some strange starting and stopping issues. For instance, say you're listening to a song and browsing through your music when you're suddenly interrupted by someone...
...Khanfar: Some people call it the Al Jazeera spirit - courage, re-thinking authority, giving a voice to the voiceless. We have never been favored by the authority. The human being is the center of our editorial policy. We are not a TV station that rushes after stars, big names, press conferences, hand-shake journalism. The international media concentrates on the famous, the big names. Al Jazeera goes to the margins, investigates stories that are still developing and in the future become very big. Why did the Arabic world love Al Jazeera? Everybody felt he was represented in the newsroom...
...Khanfar: Less than before. Maybe because the situation in the Middle East has become more complicated than blaming a single TV station. Some American officials are still skeptical and very critical. By now, I expect that the American administration has discovered that they have committed a great mistake by accusing Al Jazeera of inciting emotions and violence against the Americans. Al Jazeera's bureau has been closed in Iraq for almost two years. The level of violence in Iraq has not subsided. Things are going much worse. Is it Al Jazeera that kept the Iraqis upset with the Americans...
...There is no direct link between us and Al Qaeda to receive a tape. No one from them phones and calls and says, "Please, I am going to bring you a tape at this moment in time, so prepare for me to drop it wherever." We are a TV station. We are not an intelligence agency. In all cases, we received them through people we do not know. We cannot figure out who has delivered these tapes. If somebody brings me material, and I feel that this material is a scoop, I will use it. I am not ashamed...
...Yale-Princeton game in New Haven this Saturday had a remarkably high turnout, Yale students said, possibly owing to less enthusiasm for the upcoming Game. Christian E. Hudson, a sports broadcaster for Yale’s student radio station, WYBC, said that there were over 42,000 students in attendance at the Yale-Princeton game on Saturday. In the past the Princeton game never drew more than 30,000 spectators, while 55,000 students attended the Harvard-Yale game last year, Hudson said. Hudson, a senior, attributed the unusually high turnout to decreased interest in attending The Game, as well...
