The Nightly Build:

*	Scariest Headline. Ever. "Bill Gates: Vista is so secure it could run life support systems." Bill Gates is on a worldwide tour in support of Vista and during a stopover in Rumania he said he thinks Vista could [run life support systems in hospitals][1]. I can see the death certificates now, "cause of death: [blue screen][2]." Audio of the interview if available via the site linked above.

*	From the scary to the potentially sublime... Want to write a novel, but don't have the time? Penguin Books in the UK is [opening a novel wiki][3] where anyone can write edit and rewrite a collaborative novel. I think I agree with Penguin's Jeremy Ettinghausen, head of digital publishing, who tells Reuters, "this is an experiment, it may end up like reading a bowl of alphabet spaghetti,"

*	YouTube is [gaining][4] on the boobtube. Market research firm Harris Interactive says forty-two percent of online adults have watched a video at YouTube and 32 percent of those that visit YouTube say they now watch less TV.
