Hi. Hey, hello. USA? Yeah, I'm talking to you. It's me. Your pal. Faruk? We met… a couple times, actually. Yeah so, okay, the first time was 15 years ago and I was twelve, and you were two hundred and sixteen… I know, I know, age don't matter.

The election of Barack Obama to be the 44th President of the United States of America was a joy of joys for millions, both here in the U.S. as well as all around the world.

Looks like McCain netted himself a nice $285,000 in contributions after changing his position on the Federal oil ban:
The ever-enlightening Paul Graham introduced to us all his proposal of a "disagreement hierarchy" in How to Disagree, which — in a nutshell — lists six levels of disagreeing; ranging from the absolutely worthless name-calling to actually refuting an author's central point.

Those who have seen me around on Newsvine since the early days, back when I was a prolific writer of content and an active participant in comments around the site, may recall a later article I wrote about returning to the Vine and attempting to write regularly again.

ABC News investigates the Quran verses presented in Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders' film "Fitna" to see if they accurately present the Quran. Spoiler: they don't.
My previous seed to the 'Vine is about a poll the Wall Street Journal is doing right now about your electronics gift list for this holiday season.

Consumer gift list poll by the Wall Street Journal; 31.000+ votes and counting, and the iPhone (now adjusted to read "iPhone or iPod") is leading with a mindblowing 71% of all votes.
This is just crazy clever — and a first, as far as I can tell. I've never seen a web ad use two totally independent (ad) spaces in perfect sync to deliver one greater message. Fantastic.
Amazon's Kindle reading device looks to hold a lot of promise. Though the media format and rights are being debated quite of bit, I think it's a lot more interesting to talk about the hardware.
SAN FRANCISCO -(Dow Jones)- Apple's iPhone cellphone appears to be gaining more interest from businesses, which could end up being a blow to Palm and Research in Motion.

Okay, to start off I must apologize for the near-week delay between the ending of the previous round and me finding the time to collect all (valid) entries and compile a list of the nominees for the Final Round in the Hottest Men and Women of Newsvine contest!

SEOUL, South Korea - They came from all over the world, poles in hand, and feet ready to inch more than half a mile across a high wire strung over the Han River in a spine-tingling battle of balance, speed and high anxiety.
Interesting speculation by Howe about who profited from that crazy MS/Y! merger rumor of last week.
This is about a month old, but I'm seeding it for two reasons: 1) Newsvine seems to not have it yet 2) This may be one of the finest pieces of journalism I've seen in recent times, perhaps years.
Alright boys and girls, it's time to dust off that old picture you love and dig up your proudest seed or article on the Vine, for this is the Newsvine Hottest People Contest 2007!
