This 56 second video shows you aren’t missing much. - CrunchGear - Macworld Expo 2010 is currently going on and, well, we don’t have anyone on the show floor.

Interesting article - looks like the era of the Chinese striding ahead is looking more likely. From a UK/European viewpoint be interesting to see if Europe will hook up with another spacefaring country to deliver space exploration in the next couple of decades... Which Country Will Be The Next To Put An Astronaut On The Moon? - io9 - President Obama's 2011 budget cut NASA's Constellation program, his predecessor's plan to return humans to the Moon, en route to Mars. With the US government apparently out of the race to return to the Moon, who will now be next? As Buzz Aldrin once so famously observed, "Second comes right after first."

Auto Translate Google Buzz I notice that I have people following me who are posting in other languages - it would be cool if you could indicate that someone you follow would have their Buzz auto-translated to English or to whatever your native tongue was? - David W

Google Buzz is operational at last on my Gmail a/c - be interesting to see how this develops. I suppose you need to go find some followers with interesting things to say (a la Friendfeed) and take it from there... - David W
