MARC AMBINDER: Obama Surrogates Urged to Mention Eagleton. If this is really their strategy, they may want to rethink. I'm just taking a guess here, but I'll bet that if Eagleton had polled as the most popular national-ticket politician in 1972, McGovern would have kept him. Of course, McGovern later said he should have kept him anyway. And Ann Althouse comments: I remember the McGovern campaign. I was a big supporter of McGovern's, and I ...

IN THE MAIL: Bernard-Henry Levi's Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against the New Barbarism. From the blurb: In this unprecedented critique, Bernard-Henri Lévy, one of the world’s leading intellectuals revisits his political roots, scrutinizes the totalitarianisms of the past as well as those on the horizon, and argues powerfully for a new political and moral vision for our times. Are human rights Western or universal? Does anti-Semitism have a future, and, if so, what ...

Wonder where Hurricane Ike will hit or when Tropical Storm Hanna will pass? Hurricane season has lots of people glued to the Weather Channel to catch the latest updates on developing storms. But why wait for the weatherman to tell you what is going on when you can check for yourself online? One of the best places to do that is Stormpulse. (Google Earth is another one). Stormpulse shows active hurricanes and tropical storms in ...

Here’s that commercial we told you about earlier – the first in the series of ads for Microsoft’s $300 million campaign to help prop up Windows Vista. I just grabbed it off my TV while watching the Giants/Redskins game. While this ad doesn’t really tell us anything about Microsoft or its products, it does tell us that someday computers will be edible. So there’s that. Gates is kinda funny, too.

If you’ve spent much time with Adobe’s applictions for working with PDFs, you know that they’re not the fastest applications under the sun, and they provide their share of annoyances when doing updates, and when uninstalling. For a free, alternative application you can turn to, Foxit Reader for Windows is a good choice. (There are also versions for Linux and mobile devices.) Foxit Reader is much smaller than Adobe Reader, so one of the best ...

OKAY, SURVEYING ALL THE REACTIONS TO PALIN'S SPEECH, I see a problem for McCain -- whatever he says tonight is likely to come across as an anticlimax, unless he gives a better speech than he's ever given before. See for example, this: From now on, when a Democrat says "But what if McCain drops dead on his first day in office?!?!?!" I'm going to say "dude -- don't tease me like that." That's kind of ...

'I am a bubble, of course' nearly a myriad bubbles answered, and there was surprise and indignation in their voices as they passed.

We've posted our first impressions of Google Chrome, and after extended use most of them have held up. Chrome is fast, feature-rich and stable, not to mention highly usable. But Google's in-house innovations (the multi-threaded engine, Javascript handling and task manager, mainly) make up a tiny portion of the user experience. The rest of the interface features, usage mechanics and touted features have clear and very public parentage—in one of Chrome's four largest competitors. Now, ...
