iRobot Moves Into Your House: "...a multiplying line of robots from iRobot, founded by some tinkering MIT grads in Somerville, MA. The robots have found applications ranging from chasing dust bunnies ($200) to exploring the Great Pyramid to bumping around Afghan caves for mines (a war reporter is another possibility), and so appear to be moving beyond the gee whiz Rosie Jetson stage of technology." [Slashdot]

Creative Common's Genius: "In response to Matt, there are lots of Open Source licenses. I suspect that many of the CC licenses will qualify. And, yes, Jon Udell recently released some software under a license that some would have you believe was anti-competitive and a cancer. [...] The key difference between by-sa and GPL is one of marketing genious. [...] Had Jon merely copyrighted his work, you could have copied it had you asked for and obtained Jon's permission. All Jon has done is let you know in advance under what conditions you are not even required to ask." [Sam Ruby]
