1.	R.I.P. George Woodbridge, 73. George Woodbridge, a longtime Mad cartoonist died this week. He was 73. I always thought he had a low opinion of human beings, because he drew them so ugly. Not cartoony ugly, like Basil Wolverton, but blotchy and smelly and decaying from the inside out. He was a damn fine artist, though. Known for his delicately crosshatched pen-and-ink style, he was equally adept at caricature, at evoking historical styles and skewering Madison Avenue. A typical Woodbridge target was the suburban dweller, who progressed over the years from his early-1960's incarnation as a commuter-train-chasing executive in a button-down shirt to his overweight, barbecuing 1970's counterpart clad in polyester and plaid.

1.	DVD cartel backs off, EFF wins, DVD keys aren't "secret". EFF won an important legal battle today. DVDCCA, the Hollywood licensing body that runs DVD, has dropped its bullshit suit against Andrew Bunner, a client of ours whom they accused of misappropriating their secret keys -- "secret" in this instance meaning, "available on millions of webservers all over the world." "DeCSS has been available on hundreds if not thousands of websites for 4 years now," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "We're pleased that the DVD CCA has finally stopped attempting to deny the obvious: DeCSS is not a secret." The California Supreme Court last year ruled that one could apply preliminary restraint on publication of a computer program only in very narrow circumstances. DVD CCA sued Bunner along with hundreds of people, including some T-shirt manufacturers. Link

Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee infiltrated opposition computer files for a year, monitoring secret strategy memos and periodically passing on copies to the media, Senate officials told The Globe. From the spring of 2002 until at least April 2003, members of the GOP committee staff exploited a computer glitch that allowed them to access restricted Democratic communications without a password. Trolling through hundreds of memos, they were able to read talking points and accounts of private meetings discussing which judicial nominees Democrats would fight -- and with what tactics.

1.	Pentagon Internet voting plan panned. A report released by a group of computer security experts criticizes the Pentagon's plans to offer Internet voting to personnel deployed overseas. By Eric Bangeman.
2.	Google bombing heating up. So-called 'Google bombing' is easily Google's #1 problem. What is it? In general, Google bombing is the practice by which people "trick" Google into displaying search results much higher than they should be. By Ken "Caesar" Fisher.

4.	What's inherently hard to model in virtual worlds?. Interesting Terra Nova rumination on what kinds of objects are inherently hard to model in virtual worlds: What happens when your avatar puts sugar in a bowl of water or dips an apple into honey? Even if we program the honey to get stuck on the apple and slowly drip off the apple, Richard notes that this will surely lead to a player wondering (at some juncture) why honey drips off kittens at the same rate it drips off apples. Link
5.	Air travel "security" as theater of the absurd. US air-travel security is becoming more and more of a performance of the absurd, as this very good blog-post on Idle Words, inspired by the new "No queueing up for the in-flight pissoir rule" points out: How is this measure in any way enforceable? Is the pilot expected to divert the flight? Perform a barrel roll at the first sign of a pee queue? And how, exactly, is the sight of multiple passengers simultaneously lunging from their seats towards a suddenly available lavatory an attractive alternative to having a little group milling about by one of the galleys? I was filled with curiousity to see if the pilot would perform an emergency landing at Reykjavik after the meal service, but of course (inevitably) everyone just ignored the directive, and let the passengers empty their bladders in peace. On an eight-hour flight with free alcohol and predominantly Russian passengers, there was just no other solution. Link (via Dive into Mark)
6.	Chilean blob was whale-guts, not sea monster. The 13 ton blob that washed up on Chile's shores last July is not the remains of a squid, sea monster or Cthuloid. It is "the highly decomposed remains of a sperm whale." Link

1.	Eurekster, social networking search engine, now out of beta. eurekster, "the only search engine with personalized results," launched today after several months of beta testing. The site promises to "show you What's Hot with your friends... results get better as you invite more friends." Is there a word for that post-Friendster/Tribe/LinkedIn/SixDegrees oh-god-not-again feeling I'm getting as I read the launch announcement? Like, HTML rug burn? I mean, really -- I haven't played around with eurekster yet, and I mean no disrespect to whoever built the project. But if one more website asks me to "invite all of my friends," I swear I'm gonna fucking throw up. Invite your own damn friends, you website. Anyway, link to Eurekster, link to a slew of news articles, and today's launch release (which explains that Eurekster's revenue model includes paid listings from Overture in the search results). (thanks, Marc)
