"During the Second World War, the Japanese empire represented a potent threat to the United States global warming does not. To use this image in a doctored fashion makes light of one of the most familiar moments of one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. history..."Time has always been passionate about Global Warming, but this latest issue stepped it up a notch and made them gain stronger supporters or enemies, in my case, the latter. On this occasion the magazine has gone too far.The April 28th issue cover is a Photoshopped adaptation of U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy corpsman raising the almighty United States flag on Mount Suribachi; an iconic image by the late Joe Rosenthal that won him a Pulitzer prize, and one that has its own unique place in history.This represents only one of two times i

Time's Greatest Mistakes of the Past Two YearsOriginally, this was to be a story on "Time magazine's greatest errors". After a little cursory research, it was determined that a book would have to be written to cover that subject.Part of the reason is Time's been around since 1923. But a larger part of the problem can be traced to the moment when Time's management made the decision that liberal political shilling--whether for global warming, taxes, the latest Democrat "next big thing"--would be an acceptable substitute for objective news reporting.So the subject was limited to the last couple of years, a more manageable topic.NOVEMBER 2007: FISA Falsehoods by Joe KleinJoe Klein tells outright falsehoods--we called them "lies" when I was a kid--about the FISA bill and misleads his readers ab

The Daily Mail in the U.K. is reporting that WWII veterans are furious over next week's cover of TIME and the manipulation of the famous photo of marines raising the United States flag during the battle at Iwo Jima after TIME replaced the flag with a tree for the article, "How to Win The War on Global Warming".Raising the Flag on Iwo Jimo, photo by Joe RosenthalOne Imo Jima veteran, 81-year-old Donald Mates, felt the Times' cover was "an absolute disgrace" and that "Whoever did this is going to hell." He went to say it was a "mortal sin".Why would veterans be upset about TIME magazine essentially photoshopping, or digitally altering a photo, albeit a rather famous one from so long ago?We decided to take a look back at the history of the photographer and the photo that spoke more than a tho
I just don't see the issue over the Time magazine cover. Maybe I am just a product of different experiences and time. My dad was in the Second World War and Vietnam War and he is still alive. He has voted Republican most of his life except during the last election he voted for John Kerry. He likes to say that a monkey can do a better job than you know who. Shortly after you know who was elected the first time, my dad made claims that he would bankrupt the country. I am not sure how he came to such a quick conclusion and I thought he was delusional at the time but given the "bitter" situation today he was correct. My dad was against the Iraq war vehemently too. Like those issues, he probably thinks this issue over the Time Magazine cover illustrates how people fail to understand rea

I just discovered an article in Time Magazine from a couple of years ago discussing the topic of "Prosperity Theology".

The Time magazine article alledges, that Clinton advisors may be dropping out of the camp like flies so to speak. At one point they go on to say;".....leaves them facing problems on two levels. The first, and easier one to grapple with, is how to deal with Obama. Even as the results in Iowa were still coming in, the Clinton campaign was mobilizing onto an attack footing. But it's possible that the most difficult problem is not Obama; it could be Clinton.

By TJ BurgonioMANILA, Philippines -- In the eyes of fellow environmentalists, Von Hernandez is the kind who walks his talk, and gets the job done. It’s no surprise then that Hernandez has been named by Time magazine as among this year’s “Heroes of the Environment,” along with Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Prince Charles and other personalities. The Greenpeace campaign director was cited for his relentless campaign against trading in waste and highly polluting waste incinerators that led the Philippines to ban waste incineration in 1999, the first country to do so. “He deserves all the honor. He represents the authentic environmental activist. He walks his talk. He knows his direction. He knows the problems of the planet,” environmentalist Odette Alcantara said in an interview. Hernandez “belongs to the pantheon of Filipino environmentalists that made their mark at the international level,” said Richard Gutierrez of Basel Action Network (BAN). “He helped blaze the w

I think its pretty well suited too, I cant think of a single thing that was announced and sold this year that did near as well as the iPhone did. The article starts by stating most of the arguments you might pose against the iPhone winning such an award, all the downsides, of the iPhone basically.
Then they get to the real meat and potatoes, why it did win the award, and there are 5 very thought out reasons. First, “The iPhone is pretty,” and it really is, I actually kind of like the look of my Touch better, but the iPhone is pretty too.

Time magazine has chosen Apple’s “JesusPhone” as the invention of the year. Apple’s cell phone won with other inventions from the fields of environmentally friendly technology, molecular science, robotics or military.
Judges seemed to have mostly surrendered to iPhone’s hype: “Intel’s 45-nanometer (parts for chips) - that’s a serious deal, but it’s a lot less glamorous than the iPhone even though it’s important,” said Lev Grossman Time magazine technology editor and a member of the jury.
Last year that award went to YouTube internet site for the idea of creating a place on the internet where people could share their videos with the rest of the world.
Time gives five reasons why they have chosen iPhone this year.
- “The iPhone is pretty”: it gives the user a chance to feel “smart and attractive” while using an iPhone. Time praises its functionality as well.
- “It’s touchy-feely”
Apple's iPhone has been named the invention of the year by The Time Magazine.The reasons? It's cool design, the innovative multi-touch screen, it's fully featured operating system, and the fact that it's going to get better with time.The iPhone has already sold more than 1.4 million units and is still on a roll.Incidentally, YouTube was Time's Invention of the Year in 2006.Click Here to read more

As “Heroes of the Environment”, he is in the same list as Al Gore, Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev. Hernandez is one of Asia’s leading activists against waste incineration. Instead he advocates the effective, polluatant-free technology that is recyling and recomposting of the mountains of trash across the Philippines. “The garbage problem in the Philippines can’t be burned away through waste incineration. Incineration spews dangerous toxic fumes and poison ash into the environment. Through community waste reduction and recycling programs, the Philippines can safely manage our garbage while protecting human health and the environment.” Hernandez

Indonesia has an opportunity to search and recover the multi-billion U.S. dollars stolen asset by former president Soeharto, as the World Bank and the United Nations have facilitated the act, lawyer of the Time Magazine Todung Mulya Lubis said here Wednesday.Last week the UN and the World Bank launched an initiative in New York to help developing countries to recover stolen assets by the country's leaders. The UN puts Soeharto on the top of the listof leaders stealing assets."There is an opportunity to carry out a tracking. It can be done by the attorney general office and the police," said the lawyer.The lawyer said that the initiative by the world organization could be a signal for the government to cooperate with international organizations."Should the Indonesian government takes an active move, asking help from the government of Switzerland or Austria, the United States, China, maybe there will be a way out," he said.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com
The head of the Indonesian Press Council made a forceful defense of Time magazine for its provocative investigative reporting which uncovered financial manipulation by Soeharto, the former dictator of Indonesia. Press Council head Atmakusmuah said Time did an excellent job of writing a “balanced piece” which was not challenged by the Soeharto family or lawyers at the time. He accused the Supreme Court of acting on the basis of emotion rather than facts. “The decision,” he said, “could truly damage the freedom of the press in Indonesia.”
It is important for Indonesian journalists to defend Time since this decision casts doubts on their ability to conduct investigative reporting.
Halo is huge, without question. The original Halo: Combat Evolved has sold well over five million copies, and was almost single-handedly responsible for putting the original black brick, the Xbox, on the map. It’s sequel, Halo 2, sold a reported 9.2 million copies since it’s release in 2004. That brings us to Halo 3, which has already become the fastest game to reach 1 million pre-orders. When Halo 3 is finally released on September 25th, I have a working theory that every Xbox 360 console will brick inside of 72-hours.
…wait, why the hell am I giving you guys a history lesson on Halo? Y’all should know this! Moving on!
