AP - Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems Inc. and his Microsoft Corp. counterpart Steve Ballmer were slapping backs and exchanging collector hockey jerseys after years of acerbic rancor between the two companies. 2.  Cell Phone Is Next Webcam Destination (washingtonpost.com). washingtonpost.com - Big Brother may turn out to be your little sister or even your best friend in the brave new world of mobile communications. 3.  You Can Rent Movies Online, but Should You? (washingtonpost.com). washingtonpost.com - The idea of renting movies online seems a lot less silly than it did two years ago, when a site called Movielink debuted. 4.  New Technology Could Detect Dirty Hands (AP).

It now supports my Radeon 9800 (even though Mike Harris threatened to not support it out of spite), but it doesn't see my hard drive. 7.  The Inquirer: Nforce3 Pro 250 2 processor pics revealed. 8.  The Register: Sony talks up PS3. Not too surprising that Sony's planning a PS3X or a super-cheap PS2 after PS3 comes out. 9.  I never really got into LaunchBar, so I didn't expect to have any use for Quicksilver. But its clipboard history window comes in handy for blogging: to get the title and URL of a story into a post I can copy-copy-switch-drag-drag instead of copy-switch-paste-switch-copy-switch-paste. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NewsIsFree: Security ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.  Blog :: The ImPORTant Stuff 11:21:09 PM    comment [] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!

I don't need reality TV, inky tabloids, or talk radio. To tap into the latest in lowbrow zeitgeist, I only have to walk down Vermont Avenue here in LA, past the front window of crazy t-shirt store Y-Que (say "ee-kay," means "so what" in Spanish). Today, I saw this Free Janet Jackson's Exposed Boobie shirt. Robots, Powered By Pancakes, Condoleezza Rice: Employee of the Month, and Visit Lovely Guantanamo Bay were there, too. I was walking with a group of people -- some native English speakers, some native Spanish Speakers. One of the latter was a visiting Quiché Maya linguist from Guatemala. He noticed the rest of us cracking up over the "No Justice/No Quiche" Free Martha t-shirts -- I had a really hard time explaining (in clumsy Spanish) the concept of quiche, and how the word quiche had nothing to do with the Quiché Maya people, who Martha Stewart was, and how all of this related to protest slogans from the American civil rights movement. But by the time we were done, he thought it hilarious that the biggest scandal rockin' the USA right now centered on a wealthy woman famous for baking egg pies on TV.

My friend Jim Munroe is a brilliant sf writer, author of Angry Young Spaceman (which I reviewed for Wired), Everyone in Silico, and Flyboy Action Figure Comes With Gas Mask. Silico is a particularily interesting novel about the corporatization of public spaces (Jim used to be a managing editor at AdBusters), and among Jim's publicity stunts for the book was a letter-writing campaign to corporations mentioned in the book, shaking them down for money for "product placement." Jim has decided to release Silico online under the same Creative Commons license that I chose for the re-release of Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom, a license that allows the production of non-commercial derivative works, such as fan-films, sequels, translations, and audio adaptations. He credits me with inspiring this, which is immensely gratifying -- Jim's a talented writer and this is a wonderful book.

Technical staff responsibilities include keeping our internal systems running and providing expert support to our attorneys and members.

Comfort with advocating for a position essential. Link ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!

Space Invaders is 25 years old. Riding a wave of '80s old-school geek chick, the cult Japanese game is experiencing a renaissance. On April 25th, Space Invaders for PS2 launches around the world -- and mobile versions are said to be in the works. Paris-based online/realspace boutique colette (I heart this store) will sell the remake. They'll also be selling tons of other cool Space Invaders schwag like t-shirts, key holders, books, and more. Tuesday 29th April is evidently Space Invader Day with intergalactic gaming competitions planned in Japan, Paris, and elsewhere. Link to colette store online (horrible Flash interface -- I love what they sell, but I hatehatehate the website UI), Link to Times UK story, Link to press relelase about Space Invaders remake coming to mobile phones with BREW platform, and Link to Space Invaders 25th anniversary home (also built with Flash, but IMO a rockin' good UI). And finally, I urge you to visit the website for Taito, the Japanese company that created Space Invaders -- if only to read the clumsily translated English copy on this page that invites you, over and over, to "crick here for detail."
