On Thursday afternoon, several hours after I'd gotten my final "Steve's health is a private matter" -- and much to my amazement -- Mr. Jobs called me. "This is Steve Jobs," he began. "You think I'm an arrogant [expletive] who thinks he's above the law, and I think you're a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong." After that rather arresting opening, he went on to say that he would give me some details about his recent health problems, but only if I would
hooch
Because the conversation was off the record, I cannot disclose what Mr. Jobs told me. Suffice it to say that I didn't hear anything that contradicted the reporting that John Markoff and I did this week. While his health problems amounted to a good deal more than "a common bug," they weren't life-threatening and he doesn't have a recurrence of cancer. After he hung up the phone, it occurred to me that I had just been handed, by Mr. Jobs himself, the very informa
To defend itself against a lawsuit by the widows of three American soldiers who died on one of its planes in Afghanistan, a sister company of the private military firm Blackwater has asked a federal court to decide the case using the Islamic law known as Sharia.

"Afghan law is largely religion-based and evidences a strong concern for ensuring moral responsibility, and deterring violations of obligations within its borders."

If the judge agrees, it would essentially end the lawsuit over a botched flight supporting the U.S. military. Sharia law does not hold a company responsible for the actions of employees performed within the course of their work.

"Higher oil price volatility can lead to reduction in investment in other parts of the economy, leading in turn to a long-term reduction in supply of various goods, higher prices, and further reduced macroeconomic activity. Increasing volatility has the potential to increase both economic disruption and transaction costs for both consumers and producers, adding to inflation and reducing economic growth rates."
hooch
"The most relevant experience was during the 1970s and early 1980s, when oil prices increased roughly six-fold and oil price volatility was aggravated. Those reactions have often been dismissed as a 'panic response,' but that experience may nevertheless be a good indicator of the oil price volatility to be expected when demand exceeds supply after oil peaking."
hooch
"The factors that cause oil price escalation and volatility could be further exacerbated by terrorism. For example, in the summer of 2004, it was estimated that the threat of terrorism had added a premium of 25 - 33 percent to the price of a barrel of oil.118 As world oil peaking is approached, it is not difficult to imagine that the terrorism premium could increase even more."
hooch
"In conclusion, oil peaking will not only lead to higher oil prices but also to increased oil price volatility. In the process, oil could become the price setter in the broader energy market, in which case other energy prices could well become increasingly volatile and unpredictable."

"Just a word about why we should bother about climate change. There are still some people who think that it's not a concern; that it's just a furphy and if you hold that view, the right thing to do is definitely nothing. The cost of mitigating climate change is too high if that's the view that you hold.
hooch
"No matter what the scientific community thinks about the likely costs of climate change, if that's your mindset then there's no point in carefully calibrating estimates of the cost of mitigation against the costs of climate change that you might be able to avoid because you don't believe that there is a problem.
hooch
"And to hold that mindset, and quite a few Australians still do and some in prominent places still hold that view - you are not a sceptic; you are a person of deep belief.
hooch
"I see myself as a climate change sceptic and a sceptic looks at the evidence and bases conclusions on the evidence rather than on belief. To hold the view that this is not an issue that you need to do something about, to hold the view that it's all a furphy takes belief."
