Airborne is an exact duplicate product of Emergen-C, which has been on the market for years. Their are no false health claims on Emergen-C's packaging, other than "Super Energy Booster". They are great pick-me-ups on a sick day, and the megadose of Vitamin C is a great immune booster. I take one of them once or twice a week, but have never tried the sugar-infused Airborne.

The plastics used for the XO laptop, including the hand-crank charger, are all petroleum based. That's oil.

It's a happy surprise to see The Bowed Piano Ensemble profiled here (oops, I missed the NPR story!). I first saw them perform in 1996, when I attended with the brother of one of the current performers, then a student at Colorado College, where the ensemble is based. We walked in about 10 minutes late after "preparing" for the show outside in the park, and discovered a completely dark concert hall, with the Ensemble gathered around the open piano, lit dimly with tiny flashlights. They were producing the most incredible sounds I had ever heard, and actually, yes, one performer occasionally touches the keys, but usually while placing the other hand inside to mute the strings for an eerie plucked sound. Beautiful music, seldom noticed. Thanks for putting it out there for more to hear.

He is NOT always neutral. He frequently interjects his opinions into the documentary. This is NOT neutral reporting, as Maurik suggests. A good reporter would be able to stay neutral. I don't blame him, though. These are great documentary films. He stayed in the game longer than I could when he interviewed the racist fu$^ers.

defamer.com also has the video still up, even after legal threats.
