NYT: ‘The secret program violates the law as currently written. It’s that simple.’
About Bush's spying. One of the harshest editorials from the NYT I've read in a long time. It gave me a strange tingly feeling, like climbing the rope in gym class.

Is the word of God subject to copyright? The new Pope says yes.

It was so good, so easy to use and so pleasant, that I bought a CD just because it would have been rude not to, like when someone offers you a homemade cookie when you're already full. Go ahead and try it. ps. I bought an album by Jon Brion.

Apple’s latest version of iTunes spies on your music playing habits
Every time you click on a song in the new iTunes (6.0.2), if you have the new MiniStore open (which is is by default in the new version) you send your title and artist info to iTunes. Adding spyware to a product, does that usually it bump up at least half a version point? But Apple went from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2 without even bothering to mention this privacy hole in the release notes, and without mentioning anything in their privacy policy about what they do with this data. And they didn't give you the option to opt-in -- it's opt-out for Apple users. Apple, don't be rotten. You owe it to your supporters to fix this behavior. Update: Someone pointed out that they already could collect data on any CD you put in your drive when you lookup the track names -- and this is default behavior, and no one objected to this. Fair point.

The bombing of United Air Lines Flight 629
Fascinating read: "It sort of ended the very short age of innocence in aviation." I'm also amazed by this: "Graham stood trial for murdering his mother, since no criminal statute against sabotaging a commercial plane existed until President Eisenhower signed one into law later that year."
