Five Years Later, Newton Still Going Strong
CrezzyMan writes "Today is the five year anniversary of Apple's cancellation of the Newton platform. In spite of this, the Newton community has remained stronger than ever: it has even been the subject of academic research. In just the last few days, an IrCOMM stack and a new connection library have been released, on top of OS X syncing and 802.11b support."

Why is the AMD logo where the apple logo should be?
Why when I refresh the page does it keep switching between an AMD logo/topic and an iBook graphic? Has the top secret Apple/AMD project come to fruition as a Newton replacement or something? :)

Why is this story posted with an AMD Icon? Does Timothy know something we don't?

THE theory about oil has to do with the lack of control the US (and West in general) has over a substance it has based its economy on. By the US controlling the largest oil fields in the middle east, it needs to rely less upon the members of OPEC, and has a comfortable cushion that means its economy cannot be as easily blackmailed as it was during the 1970s.
Since the 1970s, the West has been looking into ways of getting out of the embrace of countries such as Saudi Arabia so that it has some degree of control back over its own affairs in that region. So far its achieved some degree of compromise, with a considerably weakened OPEC, and countries such as Britain generating its own oil and most of Europe using taxation to limit oil use. This weakening of oil generating state's power is temporary, oil usage continues to rise, and generation capacity may peak within the next twenty years. Control of Iraq would essentially change the whip-hand, and put the West back in charge of the world economy.
This, incidentally, makes a hell of a lot more sense than it being about terrorism (Bin Laden is an enemy of Saddam Hussein), or that it's about disarming a dictator (we don't seem to care about any other dictators.)
