| Developers licking their fingers over Cocoa Touch iPhone SDK
At a special press event today in Cupertino, Apple revealed details of the official—and long-awaited—iPhone SDK. Building on the foundation of OS X and marrying it with a multitouch specific UI layer, Apple is calling the collection of APIs "Cocoa Touch." Included in the SDK are updates to Interface Builder and Xcode to enable development with the new APIs, as well as an iPhone simulator to test development from your Mac before debugging on the iPhone itself. In addition, debugging and profiling tools work from a Mac-connected iPhone. The SDK includes everything you'd expect from an Apple environment, including the UNIX-based internals of OS X. In addition, developers will have access to Keychain, Bonjour, SQLite and Core Location as well as a mature, Quicktime-based media layer including video playback, Core Audio, Core Image, Core Animation, PDF rendering, OpenAL, and OpenGL ES.

Bioneers serving locally grown food to promote sustainability
When Kryssa Bowman agreed to cater this weekend's Northern Rockies Bioneers Conference, she had a lofty goal: Cook all the meals with ingredients grown or made within 100 miles of Bozeman. “I love challenges, so I was like, 'Let's make it work, even if I have to do just salad and meat,'" said Bowman, owner of Thyme Savors, a personal chef service. “The local farmers and ranchers, they deserve to have our business."Other than the salt and pepper, she has managed to accomplish her goal, creating recipes for four different meals that will feed 325 people each. In addition to being home grown, all of the food will be pesticide free and organic.Accomplishing that feat wasn't easy. Bowman had to design the menus based on ingredients she knew she could find in the area.She picked plums and apples from local gardens and a neighbor's yard.

This week saw the launch of a new Web site aimed at benefiting those looking for information on Windows Web hosts. Unlike other search-based Web sites, FindWindowsHost.com aims not to be a jack of all trades, but a master of one.

With FindWindowsHost.com, we arent looking at Linux hosting, or Ruby on Rails, or PHP hosting, or any other type of hosting for that matter. What we are providing is a comprehensive pool of information about Web hosts offering Windows hosting services period! We want this site to be the automatic site of choice for those with Windows Web hosting requirements.
To Be in Favour of Peace Is Not Anti-Israeli
The MSM press in the US censors(yes, I said CENSOR) any news of the ongoing debate in Israel about the actions of the Israeli government. I told someone the other day that it was a nasty rumor that fervent Israeli zionists supporters owned all American media. Upon reflection, it sometimes seems that way, but it really is not (?). However, intense pressure threatening Advertising boycotts by corporate and private interests if any even neutral story let alone a pro-palestinian or anti-Israeli news release about the conflict is contemplated, forces many outlets to pull such items - strongly resembling censorship. .
