    I go to UC Davis and saw those protests yesterday. I left a while before the police showed up, though.

    Police turn violent in wall street protests

    http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/09/occupy-wall-street-protests-turn-violent-video-shows-police-macing-women/ Didn't see any threads on this, so I thought I'd post it. What's your take?

    Bill S.978 will make lets plays illegal

    Videos of your friends singing karaoke would be a felony as well because the music is copyrighted.

    Bill S.978 will make lets plays illegal

    This doesn't look very good. I sincerely hope this bill doesn't pass, at least in its current form. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8&feature=channel_video_title

    Any non-walled-garden tablet computers available?

    I hope you're right, but I keep seeing headlines like: Would it be safe to dismiss this stuff as media stupidity?

    Any non-walled-garden tablet computers available?

    It seems most tablet-computers out today have the app system, thanks to Apple's terrible precedent. Are there any that have an interface like your standard laptop or desktop computer, where you don't have to go to some centralized app store to get programs? Even the app stores in which things...

    Some thoughts on Chell

    Alright, there have been a few things that have been bugging me about Chell. First off, one of the potato battery experiments for Bring Your Daughter to Work Day had Chell's name on it, so we know she was a child at that time. It is also heavily implied that it was on bring your daughter to work...

    White house trying to make unauthorized streaming a felony

    I wouldn't be so sure. A lot of them are in the entertainment industry's pockets, who would be absolutely thrilled to see this pass. I really hope you're right, though.

    White house trying to make unauthorized streaming a felony

    Yep. Looks like downloading copyrighted material would be a felony as well. Not just distributing it. http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2034675/congress-decide-video-streaming-felony

    White house trying to make unauthorized streaming a felony

    I think in another article it said that they could go after those downloading as well. Don't quote me on it though. I'll try to find the article and post a link.

    Scientists see what came before Big Bang

    That is not necessarily true. The only thing that is required with infinity is at least one possible event repeating an infinite ammount of times. That probably isn't the case, but its the only requirement. Of course, it could be that the amount of possible variations is also infinite, in which...

    Coming soon: 3D TVs that don't need 3D glasses

    What would be really interesting would be a 3D monitor which is just like staring through a window (that is, if you look at it at a different angle, you can see different parts of the "world" simulated on the other side of the screen). That wouldn't really be practical for movies, but it...
