FILE - In this Oct. 7, 2011 file picture German author Guenter Grass, listens during a press conference in Berlin. German literature Nobel laureate Grass says Israel's decision to bar him from visiting the country following a critical poem reminds him of similar moves by dictatorial governments in the past. Grass said in a reaction published Wednesday April 11, 2012 by German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that he has previously only been barred from entering a country by then Communist-ruled East Germany and the military junta in Myanmar about 25 years ago. Grass says the tone of Israel's announcement on Sunday reminded him of the reasoning then given by East Germany's spy minister Erich Mielke. In a poem published last week, the 84-year-old Grass criticized what he described as Western hypocrisy over Israel's nuclear program and labeled the country a threat to Guenter Grass says Israel's decision to bar him from visiting the country because of his poem criticizing the Jewish state reminds him of similar steps that dictatorial governments have taken against him.

Mashable - A cookie-shaped, easy-to-use, $199 video-conferencing solution is impressive, but wrapping it up in packaging that resembles a mash-up between Apple's design elegance and Henny Youngman's penchants for one-liners is an altogether different level of accomplishment. Introduced last month at the Consumer Electronics Association's annual New York-based CES Unveiled preview event (CES 2012 kicks off on Jan. 9 in Las Vegas), the Biscotti TV Phone is a home video-conferencing gadget that works with your HDTV. Each biscotti-cookie-shaped unit cost $199 and works with any other unit via Biscotti’s proprietary network. You can also chat with anyone on GChat (sorry, no Skype). That’s all pretty cool and I’ll be test driving shortly to see if Biscotti works as advertised. Czytaj więcej »
