A Poem

This poem was nominated poem of 2005.
Written by an African kid, amazing thought :
"When I born, I Black, When I grow up, I Black,

When I go in Sun, I Black, When I scared, I Black,

When I sick, I Black, And when I die, I still black...

And you White fellow,

When you born, you pink, When you grow up, you White,

When you go in Sun, you Red, When you cold, you blue,

When you scared, you yellow, When you sick, you Green,

And when you die, you Gray...

And you call me colored???.. ......."

Quebecers are experiencing temperatures colder than those at the North Pole on Wednesday, according to meteorologists who are tracking a dome of frigid air that has settled over the province.

The coldest spot in the province Wednesday morning was La Grande-4 Hydro-Québec generating station east of James Bay, which registered a temperature of –45 C.

"The coldest dome over Canada right now is over northern Quebec," said Pascal Yakovakis, meteorologist with Radio-Canada.

"We can say the meteorological North Pole has moved over Quebec. It's actually colder in northern Quebec than the North Pole."

Microsoft's Ballmer touts 'best version of Windows ever'

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer kicked off the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show on Wednesday with an impassioned endorsement of PCs and a sneak peek at the company's future Windows 7 operating system.
As expected, Ballmer announced that Microsoft is releasing a beta version of Windows 7, which will be available for download beginning Friday. The news suggests the world's largest software maker may be giving up efforts to rehabilitate its often-maligned Vista operating system, which was released worldwide in January 2007.

"We are on track to deliver the best version of Windows ever," Ballmer told an audience of several thousand tech professionals and journalists inside a cavernous ballroom at the Venetian hotel. "We're working hard to get it right and get it ready."

Without mentioning the security and compatibility issues that have dogged Vista, Ballmer promised that Windows 7 will make PCs faster and easier to use. He didn't offer a timetable for its official release, although Windows Vista went on sale more than two years after it was issued in beta form.

Early reviews of Windows 7, which was leaked to the Internet in beta form in late December, have been positive.
