Elsewhere on Wired:

*	Bruce Sterling [lets Flickr know why they suck][1]. On the transition to a Yahoo-based login Sterling writes, "I don't gain any benefit by this. Where's my value proposal? There's nothing in this proposal for me. You are exploiting your Web 2.0 social muscle and twisting my arm here. Is that Flickr-like behavior? Aren't you a little ashamed of yourselves?"

*	Rob Beschizza of Gadget Lab [thinks wood is coming back][2], case in point being a 60" LG Plasma TV encased in wood and unfortunately available only in Korea. Is this why Southeast Asia is buying up all the clear-cut wood in the Northwest?

*	Listing Post's Eliot Van Buskirk [wonders][3] why MySpace kicked Amie Street off the site (Amie Street has since rebuilt their page). The truth is the new page will probably be deleted as well because one of the little known clauses in the web 2.0 contract is that things which suck (MySpace) are not allowed to co-mingle with things that do not suck (Amie St). Trust me it's in the EULA.

*	Over at 27B Stroke 6 Ryan Singel [weighs in][4] on the Great LED Scare of 2007. Singel sums it up nicely: "Actually, these guys are just annoying paid shills for a corporation, who are acting like they are radical artistes sticking-it-to-the-man, like some artistic version of Jackass, AND getting PAID $300 to do it... please, please let this be the death knell for 'guerilla' marketing." Seriously. Please.

*	And finally the best Wired headline of the day award goes to John Brownlee of Table of Malcontents for this gem: [McDonald's-Destroying Anarchist Runs For French President][5]. I should have never left Paris.
