Today's Story Highlights

Death Hasn't Softened Right-Wing Bloggers Toward Cronkite
As a child of the 1960s, I already knew that Walter Cronkite was the man
who told us about the assassinations of two Kennedys and a King, the
riots in the streets, the landing at Tranquility Base. Seeing the
archival footage was deja vu for me; I watched most of all that as it
happened, sprawled out kid-style on the floor of my living room, chin
cradled in the palms of my hands.

Anti-Aging Technology Is No Excuse for Bad Habits
For those interested in longevity, July was a good news month. Recently
published research in the journal Science shows that caloric restriction
helps monkeys live longer and healthier, while a parallel study
demonstrated the possibility that a drug could mimic this process.

Migrating to Linux, Part 2: Avoiding Separation Anxiety
Six months ago, I began a self-imposed experiment to see if I could
survive leaving Windows XP behind. After all, despite its flaws and
decade-old technology, the aging Microsoft OS had served me well.
However, I decided to skip Windows 7 when it comes to town in October.

Cameron's 'Avatar' Pricks Conscience as Well as Imagination
James Cameron originally wrote "Avatar" as a way to challenge the
special-effects firm Digital Domain, where he served as chief executive.
However, it took technology 14 years to catch up with his vision of a
faraway planet populated by otherwordly plants and animals where humans
embody avatars just to brave the landscape.

Tweeting Prayers: New Media Meets Ancient Tradition
For centuries, people have stuffed prayers written on scraps of paper
into the ancient cracks in the Western Wall in the Old City of
Jerusalem. In recent years, they could fax or email their prayers. The
Western Wall now has its own address on the social network Twitter.
Petitioners can tweet their prayers, and they will be printed out and
taken to the wall.

Microsoft Takes Windows 7 Out of the Oven
Microsoft's been working hard to build a positive buzz around the
release to manufacturing of Windows 7, but there remain a few flies in
the ointment. Many enterprises may decide to wait until the first
service pack comes out in about six months before moving to Windows 7.
Also, complaints have already been popping up on the Windows Team Blog
about staggered release dates and incomplete information.
