...thing I hate: Buying music. I haven't bought a CD or MP3 for years. Instead, I subscribe to music - I pay a small monthly fee to Rhapsody and can access most of the world's music (more than 5 million songs) by streaming it via the Net to my home audio system. I can listen to just about any song I want, any time, anywhere. That's known, in the geekosphere, as "music dial tone...
...Bush, there's no faster way into the campaign to succeed him (and to reinvigorating his presidency) that via the issue of Israeli security. So today, in front of a supportive audience at the Israeli Knesset, Bush went right at Obama. He mocked those who "believe we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along." Last July, Obama said he supported direct and unconditional talks with the leaders of Iran and North Korea, among others, and though he has backed away from that position, his primary campaign...
...Society for Innovative Medical Practice Design. They limit the number of patients they see so they can devote more time to each; accept insurance for routine treatment and tests; and charge patients an additional flat fee for extras like no waiting, longer office visits and ?round-the-clock availability via e-mail or cell phone.

Most are primary care physicians, but OB/GYNs are entering the field too, as Burnette-Dubose discovered when...
...wife and I have a teensy blog that covers real estate and other stuff of interest to people in our hometown in Northern California. It's hosted via Blogger, which happens to be Google's free hosting service. (The Friend Connect program, however, is open to any website or blog - you'll just have to cut and paste a few lines of code onto your site.) Anyway, when we first set up the blog, we chose from a short a la carte menu of standard features we wanted to add - things like "blogrolls" which recommend our favorites blogs, post archives...
...thoughtful and sprightly survey of the most influential individuals in the world. Influence, like those other categories, is subjective, but you try to measure it in the effect people have on the world. You look at how Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor, has reached millions of people via YouTube with his poignant "last lecture" and its message of fortitude and good humor in the face of death. Influence like that is a form of power, but power is not always influence. The sheer hard power of a Hu Jintao or a Vladimir Putin can put them on the list...
