Road to ruin: informal byways sow seeds of destruction in Colombia’s Amazon
SAN VICENTE DEL CAGUAN, Caqueta, Colombia (Reuters) - The dirt tracks winding through southern Colombia's tangled jungle often mark the beginning of the end for besieged patches of rainforest in this part of the Amazon. Across San Vicente del Caguan, one of the country's most deforested regions, illegal and informal roads fan out in an ever-expanding network, bringing visitors, commercial interests and farmers and ranchers who clear and burn the land.

Newton Fourteen years before the iPhone and 17 before the iPad Apple threatened to turn computing on its head by releasing a handheld PC that you could fit in your pocket – if you had really big pockets. The big thing about this not-so-little thing was its handwriting recognition, which unfortunately, on launch, was about as accurate as the weather forecast. It effectively damned the device from Day One – even when it was immeasurably improved in later versions. On its debut the handwriting recognition dictionary contained just 10,000 words – about the same as a bookish six-year-old child. Like the iPhone and iPad that followed it so many … [Read more...] about Simon Jary – Apple’s N of the road
