From the page: "OpenLaszlo is an XML and JavaScript platform for creating runtime-independent rich internet applications. An OpenLaszlo application can be compiled to run in Flash Player, or in browser-native DHTML, in most modern browsers. Yes, even IE6. More importantly for this article, OpenLaszlo applications run just fine in Safari. Which means that, in theory, they should more-or-less work on the iPhone."
The global positioning system (GPS) operated by the US government could fail as early as next year.
[...]the GAO cautions that "there will be an increased likelihood that in 2010, as old satellites begin to fail, the overall GPS constellation will fall below the number of satellites required to provide the level of GPS service that the U.S. government commits to."
In other words, not only will your iPhone not know where it is, but neither will your geotagging camera accurately insert location info into your photos' metadata, nor your car's navigation system help you find your way out of the morass of freeways that is Los Angeles.[...]
Wonderful fusion of Indian and Flamenco music. Video clip from the INDIALUCIA album.
"Indialucia is a musical project, which fuses two fascinating styles of music: Indian and Flamenco music. The album expresses both the human and musical fusion of these cultures, which could have had a common ancestor. Improvisation and rhythm are the common elements in both styles and are essential to the continued existence of this music. The recordings were made between 1999 and 2004 mostly in India and Spain. Many great artists from the two continents performed. This album is the result of the years of work, which for the first time demonstrates the common elements of flamenco and its Indian roots fused into one art form.

From the page: "Docx2Rtf is a freeware file converter for MS Word 2007 Docx and OpenOffice Sxw and Odt files. You do not need OpenOffice or Office 2007 to be installed for the program to work. Word 2007 Docx files (*.docx; *.dotx) and OpenOffice files (*.sxw,*.odt) will be converted to richtext (rtf) format with partial formatting and images. Docx2Rtf isn't perfect in what it can retrieve from these files, but it does a decent job of retrieving your basic information. While you are converting these documents, Docx2Rtf will show you a page by page layout of what was retrieved and let you send it to your printer. Docx2Rtf can also convert those Word 2007 and OpenOffice documents to PDF format!"
