Why am I not surprised the kid can rap?
It isn’t just about a little comment of 140 characters, it’s much more than that because it’s noticeboards: people post something, it takes you to another person, it moves along. It’s very, very new and fascinating.

Left! Right! Left left right!
I’m getting so much joy out of this for some reason.
Me too! I don’t understand my merriment, but it exists!

Even if it tanks our traffic, we are going to keep digging and digging and bitching and bitching until we get an answer from Google over whether or not the promises made back in 2005 have changed today.

You say it is a choice to be gay; do you mean to say you had feelings for women as well as men and chose men?

If you don’t listen/watch anything else Triple J produce this year, you have to watch this.
The first Aussie Like A Version for the year, supplied by Matt Corby. He took on The Black Key’s ‘Lonely Boy’ and the results are stunning.

Reblogged without comment, although I’m not sure what offends me more, the obvious blatant homophobia, or the effect this has on regular Christians.
on the iPad, you simply click on “view video” and up comes our professor, Dr. Edward Burger, the Bill Nye of math education. Students have written to him saying he’s changed their opinion of what math is.

Creepy Apple License Agreement for iBooks →
“Apple is claiming a right not just to its software, but to its software’s output. It’s akin to Microsoft trying to restrict what people can do with Word documents, or Adobe declaring that if you use Photoshop to export a JPEG, you can’t freely sell it to Getty. As far as I know, in the consumer software industry, this practice is unprecedented.”
“The nightmare scenario under this agreement? You create a great work of staggering literary genius that you think you can sell for 5 or 10 bucks per copy. You craft it carefully in iBooks Author. You submit it to Apple. They reject it.
Under this license agreement, you are out of luck. They won’t sell it, and you can’t legally sell it elsewhere. You can give it away, but you can’t sell it.”
That is an insane amount of power.
From this article, brought to you by someone who reads License Agreements for a living, aka the guy whose job is to protect everyone from greed and exploitation.
He felt this was scary enough to bring to the public’s attention.
Kinda. Apple are asserting the right to your “Work”, which in copyright law refers to the book, not just the specific output from iBooks Author. More detail at http://gguy.me/e
