This article from Law.com last FebruaryD.C. Circuit Judge Gets on Supreme Court Short List on Law.com is an interesting perspective on Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts.

It's interesting to me that commentators on some networks just assume that if people don't agree with the administration's policies, or share party affiliations with the president, that they will automatically oppose a nominee that appears to put issues of law above partisan ones.

After the announcement the analysis began to figure out how Roberts would vote on the choice issue. Do we really need to re-debate Roe v. Wade right now? Logical thought suggests that it shouldn't matter what a judge's personal opinion might be on an issue. We should have justices who understand and value the law and upholding it rather than writing opinions based on principles of evidence and law rather than on preconceived biases, right?

The vehemence with which some commentators baited the Democrats just confirms my opinion that this nomination is one area where Bush has succeeded. Let's hope that those on the other side of the party divide see the wisdom in looking at the qualifications of the person who is nominated rather than the party affiliation of the one who nominated him.

Apple in talks to introduce videos to iTunes - Tech News & Reviews - MSNBC.com

Nice news on the iPod today!

Hot off the virtual press at MSNBC reports that Apple is in talks with iTunes to add video to iPods, possibly as early as September.

Quoting the Wall Street Journal, CNN reported that Apple is expected to announce video capabilities for the iPod around September. Although the company is not commenting, it has begun bundling video offers with full album downloads on iTunes.

Other than music videos, what could this mean for other applications? Some say PodCasting is the next blogging. Does that mean PodCasting video is far behind?

Here's some background info from MSNBC on Microsoft-based competitors. It's interesting that even though Windows based alternatives were introduced a year ago, even then iPod was the comparison standard.
