Clark I Bright

Wesley Clark was on Face the Nation today, and he took aim at the idea that McCain's Vietnam War experience makes him more qualified to be president. ?I don?t think getting in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to become president.? With one swoop, Clark attacked the entire basis for the McCain presidential campaign.

Ben Canales has astounding skills as a night photographer, capturing the child-like wonder and awe of our world as we stare up at the stars. When he was younger, he lived in an urban area where a starry night means maybe seeing a maximum of 20 stars. Now he lives on the West Coast “nearby some very dark, much less light-polluted night skies. It’s been a thrill and a treasured experience to look up and see a literal field of diamonds in the stars above.” Besides photographing the stars for personal enjoyment, Ben does it for us so we can feel the wonder of the sky as if we are standing under it ourselves and gazing up. He snaps glittering starry shots in amazing natural landscapes and also captures the night sky nearby abandoned houses way out in the middle of nowhere. He climbs mountains and pitches a tent far away from civilization to better bring us these amazing images of the stars. Ben quotes Van Gogh: “For my part I know nothing with any certainy, but the sight of the stars make me dream.” We were blown away, absolutely dazzled, when we saw his breathtaking photos on The Star Trail. Wowza! We love these pics! [40 Photos]

The other day when I saw the new Ferrari video pitting the F40 against the 599 GTB, I was thinking about how much the supercar industry has changed in the past 20 years. Back around the time the F40 came out in 1987, it was the fastest car in the world, replacing the Porsche 959.

The new iPad is landing Friday, March 16, and Apple has just confirmed that you’ll be able to pick up the new tablet bright and early. The new iPad will go on sale at 8 a.m. this Friday and in 10 countries.

Using a dirt-cheap app -- and a semi-costly SLR camera -- your iPad or iPhone can create pictures of otherworldly 3D text holograms.

This time of year is all about resolutions. I hope to spend more time with friends and family and of course I hope to meet some of the people that I’ve met because of digg. Happy New Year to all!
