"Hugo Chávez's coalition-building efforts suffered a setback yesterday when the Honduran military sent its president packing for abusing the nation's constitution. It seems that President Mel Zelaya miscalculated when he tried to emulate the success of his good friend Hugo in reshaping the Honduran Constitution to his liking. But Honduras is not out of the Venezuelan woods yet. Yesterday the Central American country was being pressured to restore the authoritarian Mr. Zelaya by the likes of Fidel Castro, Daniel Ortega, Hillary Clinton and, of course, Hugo himself. The Organization of American States, having ignored Mr. Zelaya's abuses, also wants him back in power. It will be a miracle if Honduran patriots can hold their ground." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"Mac4Lin works on a variety of Linux flavors, including Ubuntu 9.04 and GNOME 2.26, but there's no KDE version (yet). A lot of third-party apps that use GTK for skinning, like Firefox and Songbird, look great in Mac4Lin. An unstall script is also included in the latest version, in case you decent you don't like the OS X look, and you'd rather go back to your default UI." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"Germany went ahead in the 23rd minute when Gonzalo Castro slipped the ball past England's Scott Loach, after being put through by Mesut Ozil. Ozil doubled their lead after half time with a speculative long range free kick, though Loach should have done much better against a swirling free kick straight at him. Germany put the game beyond England's reach in the 79th minute, when Sandro Wagner slipped the ball through Loach's legs from Ozil's pass. Wagner scored a brilliant second goal five minutes later for their fourth of the night, to put the seal on a fantastic tournament for the Germans." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"LONDON (Reuters) - A new layer of mystique was added to Wimbledon's unique charm on Monday when Andy Murray survived a five-set sweat-fest against Stanislas Wawrinka under Centre Court's new roof and long after darkness had descended. The multi-million pound canopy had been redundant for the first week of the championships, but after it made its competitive debut to allow Dinara Safina to overcome Amelie Mauresmo earlier in the day it provided the perfect backdrop for the tournament's best match so far. Thousands remained transfixed to the giant screen on Henman Hill -- named after the man who had caused British fans so many nail biting evenings in the past -- to join the 15,000 fans perched on the edge of their padded seats inside the stunning arena. They roared Murray to a 2-6 6-3 6-3 5-7 6-3 victory against the inspired Swiss 19th seed who, at times, seemed touched by the magic of his more illustrious compatriot Roger Federer." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

Yes, that was a great match. Unfortunately with the false winner ;) - Mario

"Mozilla Firefox 3.5 is the culmination of nearly a year-long quest to build a browser for the next version of the web. And while it’s not perfect, it comes very, very close. The open-source browser is expected to be available for download Tuesday morning for Windows, Mac and Linux. Originally envisioned as a quick follow-up to 2008’s release of Firefox 3.0, Mozilla ended up packing in quite a few extra features into its flagship browser and spent months making sure that Firefox 3.5 was the fastest, most powerful Firefox yet. Firefox 3.5 brings with it entirely new and much faster rendering engines for both static web pages and the JavaScript code that powers today’s complex web-based applications. There are new privacy features, new capabilities for playing video and audio files and improved search tools. There are also a handful of other new features that should prove useful for both Firefox devotees and newcomers alike." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"How do you find a new search engine if all you know is Google? Typing “search engine” into the usual box might lead you to Microsoft’s newly launched Bing, the combined search at Dogpile, or the former king of search, Altavista. But for those willing to dig around, searching for search engines can reveal a treasure trove: The net is rich with specialized search services, all trying to find a way to get their slice of the billions of dollars Google makes every year answering queries. For this article, we surveyed some 50 specialty search services and picked out our favorites. What follows is not a systematic ranking or review, but a general guide to a very vibrant world that few have bothered to explore in depth." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"Five-time champion Roger Federer was in sublime form on Centre Court as he defeated Robin Soderling 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5) to reach the quarter-finals.Soderling, who lost to Federer in the French Open final, played well, but the second seed was simply a class above. After Federer broke once to take the first set, Soderling conceded only three points on serve in the second, but still lost it on a tie-break. And Federer edged another hard-fought tie-break to advance in straight sets. He will play the winner of a later match between Fernando Verdasco and Ivo Karlovic in Wednesday's quarter-finals."

"Argentine President Cristina Fernandez is on course for a stinging defeat in mid-term legislative elections, with her party losing control of Congress.With more than two-thirds of votes counted, results suggest the governing Peronist party has lost its majority in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. Ms Fernandez' husband, former president Nestor Kirchner, also lost his high-profile race for a congressional seat. Sunday's elections were seen as a test of the couple's popularity. Cristina Fernandez succeeded her husband as president in 2007, but has seen her approval ratings decline in the face of growing economic problems and rising crime rates." - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"BUENOS AIRES — Néstor Kirchner, the former president and head of the governing Peronist Party, was trailing late Sunday in his bid to win a seat in congressional elections that have become a referendum on the leadership of him and of his wife, the current president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. With 12.6 percent of votes counted in Buenos Aires Province, Mr. Kirchner’s Front for Victory coalition had 32 percent of the vote, trailing the Union-PRO party led by Francisco de Narváez, a congressman and businessman, with 35.2 percent.Mr. Kirchner, who as president guided the country out of its devastating economic crisis of 2001, ran as part of an effort to save the Peronists from a humiliating defeat in the congressional elections. If he cannot muster a first-place finish, the chances that the couple will continue their political dynasty in the 2011 presidential elections will dim badly, political and investment-risk analysts said.“If Kirchner loses in Buenos Aires, that would require... more... - Alejandro via Bookmarklet

"BUENOS AIRES, June 27 (Reuters) - Argentina's World Cup captain Agustin Pichot brought the curtain down on his playing career in emotional style on Saturday at CASI, the club where he started as a youngster. Pichot, who led the Pumas to a remarkable third place at the 2007 World Cup in France, played the last of his 72 tests in the 34-10 bronze-medal triumph over the hosts in Paris. The former Richmond and Bristol scrumhalf spent the post-World Cup season with French second-tier club Racing Metro 92 before being coaxed out of retirement by Stade Francais, the club he first joined in 2003 and with whom he won the title in 2004 and 2007. However, the 34-year-old was injured in April and decided to finally call it a day. "This celebration was for my friends not for me," a tearful Pichot told reporters after being carried off the CASI pitch on the shoulders of the players and surrounded by fans who poured on to the field. "There were about 80 friends here playing for the fun of it. I'll never forget it."" - Alejandro via Bookmarklet
