I have one problem with this story, besides it's laughable brevity.

Amazingly, this is even nerdier than Jibs...

Don't tell me you forgot about Jibs!

This is what happens when you hire idiots that get their on-air graphics from a Google Search without even looking at the results.

WOW! Just, WOW.

Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby has been found guilty on four of five counts in his perjury and obstruction of justice trial.

Libby was convicted of:

# obstruction of justice when he intentionally deceived a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame;

# making a false statement by intentionally lying to FBI agents about a conversation with NBC newsman Tim Russert;

# perjury when he lied in court about his conversation with Russert;

# a second count of perjury when he lied in court about conversations with other reporters.

Does that make today Fitzmas?

I had no idea. I think it's probably pretty healthy, all told, but surprising a bit. Maybe we'll eventually shrug off t those Puritan roots, after all...

"I did provide the information on vulnerabilities in Apple products, I provided them with code and they were given packet captures," he said.

In the future, Maynor said he won't work with Apple. "I do not feel comfortable keeping relations with the company and will not report future findings to them," he said.

What do we think? Jackass security guy out for glory or jackass corporate morons not respecting the community?

"The Digital Millennium Copyright Act dramatically tilted the copyright balance toward complete copyright protection at the expense of the public's right to fair use," Boucher said in a statement. "Without a change in the law, individuals will be less willing to purchase digital media if their use of the media within the home is severely circumscribed and the manufacturers of equipment and software that enables circumvention for legitimate purposes will be reluctant to introduce the products into the market."

The legislation is being backed by the Consumer Electronics Association, the trade group of electronics-makers, among others.

Anyone been reading about this? This is just a notice... I haven't read the bill and have no analysis.

[EDIT 1 : The bill text is not available yet (12:30 PM 3/1/07) but the THOMAS record is here.

Digital 'Fair Use' Bill Introduced In Congress

I'm not fond of the Sixaxis, really, as a controller - it is difficult to make the case that it feels sturdy or exhibits satisfying heft. This thought persisted only a few minutes into my life as an amoeba and then was replaced by a desperate need to traverse fluid and consume other microorganisms. Then an urge to develop longer, more powerful flagellum became my goal - as though an episode of Unique Whips were playing out at the cellular level. So no, I don't like the controller. Playing Flow, the controller seemed to disappear. It makes a case for motion sensing controls that is as potent as anything Nintendo has delivered to date.

That's the parable, I guess. A controller is as good as the game. A system is as good as its library. Far all these interstitial lamentations, all the saber rattling and console war propaganda, there is a simple remedy: a breathtaking exclusive experience. I'm not comfortable saying (as others have) that Flow reaches the high bough we call a "killer app." It's amazing, and you should play it, but it wasn't true when they said it about Geometry Wars and it's no more true now. Will it be Motorstorm? I guess we'll know in a week.

I'm curious. Not nearly $600 curious, but curious nonetheless.

Sure, rag on NY iPod wearers all you want, but apparently there's no getting in between this Germantown PA highschooler and his iPod. Two students were arrested on Friday for assaulting their 60-year-old teacher Frank Burd, who confiscated it from a 14-year-old who was using it in his class. The kid returned later with an 11th grader, and they pushed Burd up against a locker, breaking his neck in two places. The good news is that Frank Burd's condition is stable and spirits are high. Unfortunately for the two students, their assault was caught on video, and they're going to be charged as adults.

Good. Punk bastards should be forced to live without their precious iPod and other "rights".
