| PC Magazine: $20 Touch update "a bargain"
Apple's recent $20 content update for the iPod touch has some users expressing discontent with the company's approach, but others still see a great value in the update package. PC Magazine writer Sascha Segan reports that despite the perception that Apple is charging too much for the update, the software that is installed is well worth the money, and even a bargain. Segan says that the best values in the bundle are the re-designed home screen, as well as the Mail and Maps applications. The home screen now allows users to keep multiple pages worth of applications no doubt in anticipation of the February due-date for the developer's kit and now, Safari bookmarks. Segan says that this is "almost as good as having real third-party applications." Segan also likes the mail application, which works with many different services, such as Google's Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and Apple's own .Mac email service.

GEORGE TOWN: Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, who leaves the post he has held for 18 years to contest a parliamentary seat this election, will do battle in Penang although he has been offered "safe seats" in other states. Koh said although all four parliamentary seats allocated to Gerakan in Penang were tough seats, he would still contest here.
"I will not leave Penang. I may be going to the federal level but I will remain in Penang," he said, adding that he would announce next week which seat he would be contesting.
Koh, who is Gerakan acting president, said he had received offers to contest in Segambut in the Federal Territory and Simpang Renggam in Johor where Gerakan's Datuk Dr Tan Kee Kwong and Datuk Seri Kerk Choo Ting are the incumbent MPs.
Hate Crime at a Quaker Campus?
This kind of violence is rare at a Quaker college," said Aaron Fetrow, dean of student life, in a Webcast by the newspaper. “We will not tolerate this violence or the verbal abuse." Court documents examined by the newspaper reported complaints that three students were attacked at Bryan Hall, a dormitory, and that the attackers used their fists, feet, and brass knuckles, and hurled racial slurs. The attack involved “at least 15 members of the football team," according to the police report. Three members of the football team were arrested and later released on $2,000 bond. They could not be reached and there were no reports on their version of the incident. Awartani said that he and the other two students were beaten by assailants who hurled racial epithets and called them “dirty terrorists." Awartani is a student at North Carolina State University and said that he and his two friends, who are students at Guilford, had attended a Quaker school in the West Bank before coming to the United States.
