Seems that the Department of Homeland Security is right on top of the Rubik Cube knockoffs being sold in small shops. It appears that they've cracked down on all of the terrorists out there, arresting Cheney and Osama bin Laden, and are now valiantly defending America from knock-off Rubik Cubes. Though the patent protection had expired... Slashdot has picked up on it also.
I'm allergic to most cats, except for some short-haired, outdoor-dwelling felines, and in some cases QUITE allergic to them. On the other hand, I won't be one of the first to order Allerca the Hypo-Allergenic Cat. A mere $3500 will buy one of the first available transgenic pets. I'm guessing that the animals will be sold sterilized. Would the hypoallergenic gene supression breed true? Not sure about that.
And former detainees at Gitmo have been turning up back in Afghanistan, something that wouldn't have happened had they been treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention. They would be held until the end of hostilities and a negotiated settlement in Afghanistan. What a mess...
