Here’s a tricky question: should scientific journals and their publishers self-censor articles which might reveal information potentially useful to terrorists? There’s precedent: back in the ’30s and ’40s there was an embargo on articles having to do with uranium in 237 different journals. On the lighter side, herein find a few humorous squibs from the world of science, including a glaring faux pas on Sony’s part; “Spider-Man’s copy-protection does not stop people copying but it does prevent them from accessing Sony’s promotion for the movie.”
There’s a new remote control device out which promises much, delivers most.
I found these thoughts about blogging interesting. Kind of an apologia/elegy for a soon-to-be extinct blog.
