Love is a travel. All travellers whether they want or not are changed. No one can travel into love and remain the same.

UK troops get mini helicopter drones.
British troops in Afghanistan have received the first of 160 of the drones, as part of a £20 million contract with Norway’s Prox Dynamics.
The 16 gram (half an once) drone has a tiny camera which relays images and video to a remote terminal, and is said to be capable of flying even in windy conditions.
“We used it to look for insurgent firing points and check out exposed areas of the ground before crossing, which is a real asset,” said Sgt. Christopher Petherbridge, with Britain’s Brigade Reconnaissance Force. In a statement, he called the Hornet easy to operate and said it offered “amazing capability to the guys on the ground.”

Downloaders Spend More Dollars on Music
The American Assembly, a research center at Columbia University, released a study finding that users of peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing networks purchase 30% more music in total dollar amount than people who didn’t participate in unauthorized file sharing. While non-P2P users had libraries containing more legitimately-purchased files, they only had an average library of 1300 songs, compared to an average P2P user’s library of 2,000. The discrepancy was especially staggering in Germany, where P2P users’ libraries were found to be nearly 625% larger than their non-P2P using peers.
