+<img alt="Wiredblogs" title="Wiredblogs" src="http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncategorized/wiredblogs.jpg" border="0" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;" />Elsewhere at Wired: * [Wired Science][1] has some info on how theories of particles in fluid-dynamical flow can be used to solve such mundane problems as traffic congestion. Fascinating read. [1]: http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/01/safety_on_the_j.html "Safety on the Jamarat Bridge" * Table of Malcontents is [enthusiastic][2] about the first trailer for Danny Boyle's new sci-fi click, *Sunshine*. I watched the trailer over the weekend and while I want it to be good, I don't know, I'll hold off judging until I see the file, but what's up with the music in that trailer?

U.S. courts decided not to allow orphaned works into the public domain. An orphaned work is copyrighted material "for which there is no longer a commercial life, and no discernible owner. It's otherwise out of print or unavailable, but no one can re-issue it, because no one can find out who they need permission from to re-issue it." So essentially everyone loses. Way to go U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I assumed that would mean DRM and so I ignored it, but luckily Listening Post's Eliot Van Buskirk is less cynical than me and he actually read the announcement. Turns out that [Other Music][5] is selling DRM-free MP3s at up to 320 Kbps. Sweet. Elliot has an [interview with the owner][4] of the world's greatest record store and its new online venture.
