Mind Hacks: Tips & Tools for Using your Brain in the World. Mark Frauenfelder:
O'Reilly has just released its latest book in the Hacks series: Mind Hacks: Tips & Tools for Using your Brain in the World. I haven't see it yet, but there are several cool sample hacks at the OR website, including: Hack 11: Why People Don't Work Like Elevator Buttons, Map Your Blind Spot, Glimpse the Gaps in Your Vision, Create Illusionary Depth with Sunglasses, Neural Noise Isn't a Bug; It's a Feature, Improve Visual Attention Through Video Games, Why Can't You Tickle Yourself?, and Make the Caffeine Habit Taste Good.

I have bought hacks books before, but always on topics I was an expert on, and was always disappointed. I just ordered this and another two, in only one I have some experience... Will I enjoy them?

Mobile phone carriers to threaten iPod dominance [The Macintosh News Network]
This is true and may be the solution to the selling of "subscription" music services.

The geek at Geek News wrote a soliloqy that I was going to write, about spyware. [Scripting News]
Typically and terminally Geeky... Would it be so hard to at least mention a few anti-spyware programs? Any non-geek reading the article will be left with a worry that he can't solve, he/she will look for programs get a random one and continue to have spyware problems. His/her conclusion will be that geeks are assholes... which seems to be true...
