Longhorn preview - the next Windows operating system

Longhorn Preview The most recent build of Longhorn--Microsoft's next Windows--has some impressive visual touches, including the kinds of translucent objects found now in Apple's OS X, and more powerful ways of finding files.

The other 45 ways to leave your lover

Paul Simon has a song called “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” but he only gives us three or four (“Get off the bus, Gus” “Get a new plan, Dan” “Drop off the key, Lee”) which is a bit disappointing given the title. Any help? I’ve got some boyfriend issues to be dealing with here. Don’t let me down!—Diana R.

Here are just a few of the 45 reasons:

44. Feed her to a shark, Mark
39. Chop off his organ, Morgan
38. Throw her down a gorge, George
36. Fake your own death, Beth
29. Run him over with a trolley, Molly
26. Chisel off his knees, Louise
19. Select her sister for a mate, Nate
18. Try to poke her mom, Tom
10. Drown him off your yacht, Dot
7. Staple him to the bed, Fred

The list continues at The Morning News

Meet Sam - the world's ugliest dog

Ugly dog The owners of the other contestants in this year's World's Ugliest Dog Contest may have thought their pooches had a chance - until they saw Sam.
The 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested recently won the Sonoma-Marin Fair contest in Petaluma for the third consecutive time, and it's no surprise.
The tiny dog has no hair, if you don't count the yellowish-white tuft erupting from his head. His wrinkled brown skin is covered with splotches, a line of warts marches down his snout, his blind eyes are an alien, milky white and a fleshy flap of skin hangs from his withered neck. And then there's the Austin Powers teeth that jut at odd angles from his mouth.
He's so ugly even the judges recoiled when he was placed on the judging table, said his proud owner, Susie Lockheed of Santa Barbara.
