Paging Dr. Brown
I love Michael J. Fox and I sympathize with his cause- both medically and politically.
My purpose of posting this is twofold: one, to capitalize on the cheap (but hilarious, in my opinion) pun in the title of this post; two, to make clear my belief that while I am not a die-hard liberal or Democrat (though I lean in both directions), I do think it's critical for everyone- particularly Democrats- to get out and vote on November 7.
The stakes are very high.

Microsoft to get into the CPU business...
According to the New York Times, Microsoft will enter the CPU business...
Who'd would have thought? Maybe Intel and AMD should start entering the OS business too...?

The more I learn about Steve Jobs...
...the more I love him.
Here's one of his famous Mac keynote speeches- except it's for NeXT, and it's from 1992.
This guy's always been amazing.

Airbus A380 in big trouble
As of yesterday, the first A380 was due to be delivered to Airbus's first paying customer (Singapore Airlines) by the end of 2006. As of today, first delivery has been pushed back (no pun intended) to October 2007.
December 2006 would have represented a roughly 18 month delay from the program's initial launch target. October 2007 will make the A380 almost two and a half years late (assuming it does make it by then).
Prior to today's delay, people were mumbling about serious problems with the A380 program, and some have been quietly wondering if the program might end up being scrapped completely. Today's announcement raises the volume on those conversations...
