    • Solutions for MP3Concept Another thing I like about the Mac community — there are a lot of very intelligent and creative people in it. Scant days after the proof-of-concept MP3Concept 'trojan' caused such a brouhaha in the Mac community, various approaches to dealing with the potential vulnerability are appearing. MacFixIt highlighted two very interesting techniques today. ➡
    • Bunnyrabbits, satan, cheese and milk I've just stumbled across a wonderful little combination of technology, found audio, and music — Stark Effect's 'mic in track'. ➡
    • You break it, you buy it I just broke my store. ➡
    • Bush: ‘…the PDB was no indication of a terrorist threat.’ What? I challenge anyone to explain to me how this isn't just flat-out idiotic. From a press conference with President Bush yesterday: ➡

After surviving for more than 5,000 years, distinctive clay tablets that are recognised as the root of all mankind's written communication have either been destroyed or stolen in yesterday's looting of the Iraqi national museum. ➡

    • The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien It really is as good as people say it is. Not that I ever really doubted that, however, it's far different to have so many people hold it up as a masterpiece of fantasy, and to be able to actually form that opinion for yourself. ➡
